When responding to a call at 60 mph, the sound emitted from an ambulance siren:
  1. Will not be heard inside the ambulance.
  2. Is louder on the sides of the vehicle.
  3. Barely precedes the ambulance.
  4. Move more quickly through the air.
Explanation
Answer: C - The sound emitted from an ambulance siren barely precedes the ambulance at 60 mph. This should be kept in mind when responding on the freeway. Vehicles are more likely to see the emergency lights long before hearing the siren when traveling at high speeds.
