![]() ![]() If the truck were not moving, the second crest would be launched after the first had travelled one wavelength. The first crest is launched and travels in the (assumed still) air at the speed of sound (relative to the air). The wavelength can be conveniently considered to be the distance between successive 'crests' of the waves of pressure that constitute the sound wave.Ĭonsider a tone emitted in the forward direction in which the Fire truck is moving and consider the launching of two successive wave crests. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the pitch, and vice-versa. Since the speed of sound in air is essentially fixed, the perceived pitch of a tone is related to the wavelength of the sound. Of course, to an observer on the truck, the pitch does not change at all. The pitch of the siren of a Fire truck appears to change as the truck passes us due to the Doppler effect. Piercing – adj.Why does a Fire truck siren change pitch when it passes us?

What kind of sirens do you hear where you live? How do they make you feel? Are they piercing or the high-low kind? We want to hear from you. Jill Robbins adapted this story for Learning English. Verena Dobnik reported on this story for the Associated Press. The old ones never woke her up, she says, but the new ones make her shake in fear. Linda Sachs lives near the Mount Sinai Hospital and hears the new high-low sirens. Davis explains that workers could add the European siren to these choices. And another can make a sound so sharp and forceful that it seems to be making a hole in the air. Another can make a series of short, high cries, like a dog that is in pain. For example, one can make the sirens give a loud, long cry. An electronic box in each vehicle has seven different sounds. ![]() He found that “people hated them all.” However, he said, the high-low siren was not as offensive.ĭavis says changing the siren sound in an emergency vehicle is easy. The Mount Sinai Emergency Medical Service Director, Joseph Davis, played different siren options to find out which one the neighbors of the hospital liked better. Mount Sinai Health System started using the high-low siren last year. One hospital has already changed its sirens. She says the European sirens are “not as piercing.” Carlina Rivera is another lawmaker supporting the new law. But the European siren is at a lower frequency, so it would not seem as painful to a person’s ears. The sounds of European and American sirens are at the same decibel level, or loudness. She says the people she represents tell her that “the current sirens in New York are a high-pitched, continuous noise - a nuisance.” Helen Rosenthal is one of the supporters of the proposal. Some think the European siren is gentler and causes less noise pollution. What do people say about the European siren? Sirens there make a sound that goes from high to low, as in “WEE-oww-WEE-oww.” If the lawmakers’ proposal passes, all sirens on emergency vehicles in New York City would have to change within two years. Now, two city lawmakers want to change the sound so it is the same as sirens in Europe. It sounds like “Waaaaaahhhhhhh.” People living in New York City often call city officials to complain the noise wakes them up and makes dogs cry out loudly. ![]() One of the common sounds you hear on the streets is a siren: a loud, high noise that comes from police cars, fire trucks, or ambulances. Anyone who goes to New York City knows it can be very noisy. ![]()

![]() ![]() As a general rule, if you've placed your router upstairs to try and achieve a stronger signal across two floors, it's best to turn the antennae sideways, and if it's placed on the ground floor, its advisable to turn your antennae upwards. It's advisable to tweak these to try and achieve the best reception. Many wireless routers – especially older models – will include adjustable antennas. Putting your router near a window means that you're broadcasting outside as well as inside, and sending some of your strongest broadband connection – quite literally – out the window.Īnother reason to place your router in the centre of your home is to avoid anyone else accessing your Wi-Fi – if your connection can't be picked up by devices outside your house, then you're less likely to have to have your connection compromised. This means the more centrally you can place it, the better your home's overall coverage will be. Wireless broadband routers transmit from all directions in a circle. As routers use radio signals to operate, electronic appliances and large metal surfaces can absorb and disrupt your signal – microwaves in particular use the same 2.4 gHz channel as Wi-Fi routers, so will actively compete with your wireless signal when used. ![]() Aside from the risk of spilling something sticky onto your router, it's not advised to place it anywhere in your kitchen (messy cooks rejoice). ![]() ![]() ![]() Last year i was dropping bare rocks in spring as i just didn’t care.

In short, few issues I have are related exclusively to few games and their services. I am using internet with no issues inside browsers, Riot client works fine, Genshin Impact works fine, Lost Ark worked at first, I have some common issue now (could be their service is broken due to mass of users). Trying VPN did nothing, at least Kaspersky VPN provided with my Kaspersky antivirus.

Either stuck at agent or stuck with infinite uploading and reverting back to a lower percentage.

After downloading and running the application it won’t wouldn’t connect and update. I have had some issues with other services as well lately (Rockstar Games to be precise). Could be related to trackers if they use any. It seems issue is related to something that was introduced in one of the latest updates related to service they are using. So, now I had removed “BLZBNTAGT00…" crash from my installation and am again indefinitely stuck with message “Updating Update Agent…”, with bar stuck at around 45-50 %. After everything was cleaned I redownloaded installer for Hearthstone (because one was not working so I tried this one). I ran CCleaner removed broken registries related to as well (I ran driver updates and the rest of stuff CCleaner has to offer). Which admittedly, primarily would be caused by the users local environment / firewall. There was some stuff I removed that way, also made sure to clean Recycle bin. The message regarding the Blizzard Agent going to sleep is not actually an indication of a local issue with the service / client, the message is produced when there is issues communicating with the servers. Following some of the “fixes” here I got to where after attempting installation of I got error message with one of the “BLZBNTAGT00…" codes and link to some more “fixes”.Īll in all, got fed up with suggestions cause the issue persisted so I did search of my PC for anything related in order to remove any path or previous installation bug possibilities. Following multiple “fixes” (quoting fixes because they did nothing for me or got the situation to an even “worse” state) I got to where reinstalling was one of the “fixes”.

![]() ![]() ![]() However, the fact that Chan didn’t have a clue who Tucker was when they first met on the set of “Rush Hour” did cause some initial problems. I’m a kind of loner, so whether people recognize me or not doesn’t really matter to me.” I kind of liked it it’s good to be anonymous. “They kept saying, ‘Who are you?'” says Tucker, who starred in ’97’s “Money Talks.” Tucker – whose screeching, rapid-fire delivery and elastic-limbed mania were introduced to a wide audience in a supporting role in 1997’s “The Fifth Element” – actually enjoyed being incognito. “I was Tito,” he adds, referring to a line from “Rush Hour 2.” “They love him there! He’s like Michael Jackson over there.” “Jackie took me shopping, to his restaurant, to his clothing stores – it was fun to see how different the culture is in Hong Kong,” he says. Tucker says he was blown away by just how beloved the 47-year-old Chan is in Asia. It was so funny, and we really put those things in this movie.” “I remember we do, three years ago, a promotional tour and Chris got really lost in Hong Kong. “Chris was always saying, ‘Oh Jackie, you’re the king, you’re the king!’ “I was so happy doing a film in Hong Kong,” he says. In the sequel, Carter becomes the fish out of water, arriving for a vacation in Hong Kong armed with his Chinese-English dictionary, only to be reluctantly caught up in Lee’s investigation into a money-smuggling ring.Ĭhan, the leading box-office draw in Asia, with more than 100 films to his credit, delighted in introducing Tucker to his hometown. “Rush Hour 2,” out Friday, continues the culture-clash hijinks of the first film, in which Chan’s Hong Kong detective Chief Inspector Lee traveled to Los Angeles and was paired with Tucker’s LAPD officer James Carter. He was getting $5 million for a picture, and I would say, ‘Wow, $5 million! I’m a big star in Asia and I only get half a million!'” “I remember, 15 years ago, Burt Reynolds was the highest-paid actor in the world. “I make movies for 40 years and he’s been scratching along himself for so many years,” he says. It all just came into place.”Ĭhan – who recalls being paid $220 for his first movie – stresses that neither he nor Tucker is an overnight success. I almost dreamed it already, so when this stuff happened, I wasn’t surprised. “I think it’s part of what the business is. “The talk about money doesn’t bother me, not really,” Tucker says. I like to do a little gambling – it makes me do the film better.”Īll this focus on salaries may seem a little crass, but the number of zeroes on an actor’s paycheck has become the gauge of success in Hollywood. “So I chose $15 million plus rather than $20 million. “I trust that part two will make at least as much as the first one,” Chan says. But while Tucker chose to take $20 million up front, Chan gambled. “‘Rush Hour’ was a big success, so you benefit from that success.”Ĭhan, the other half of filmdom’s most hyperkinetic duo, was also paid handsomely for this fresh installment of what looks to become a killer franchise. “ made $250 million around the world, so $20 million isn’t that much when you look at it like that,” he told The Post. ![]() The whopping paycheck he’s pocketed for reteaming with Jackie Chan represents a mind-boggling $17 million raise from his starring role in the original “Rush Hour” in 1998. ![]() comedy clubs.įast-forward through a few bit parts and one hit buddy-cop movie, and suddenly the 28-year-old motormouth co-star of “Rush Hour 2” is a $20 million man, joining idol Eddie Murphy as the only other black actor in Hollywood’s super-elite club of top earners.
