How to make a siren like sound?

I want to create several short siren like sounds.

What do I need to do?

Many thanks,

And searching Google for siren.wav isn't acceptable why?

Because I want to create it and I will know that I made it.

Never used it, but maybe this app might work?

"Kwave" is a simple sound editor for KDE. Its features include: * simple cut, copy and paste functions * undo/redo * simple filter design tools * a small editor for additive synthesis * labeling of signals * some analysis functions such as Sonagram or Fourier Transformation * internally uses 24 bit integer sample data * free selectable sample rates * support for editing of multi-channel files * playback of multi-channel audio files (audio output will be mixed down to mono or stereo) * extensible through an easy-to-use plugin interface

I've used Audacity to generate tones. You should be able to create a siren with that as well.

Many thanks for your replies, I decided to try Audacity. Within a few minutes I had created the perfect alarm/siren.
