Just get any high quality recordings either off youtube or wherever. Then open them up in audacity, which I believe is free and cut and change as you please.

Export as WAV then import into your resident.rpf using open or spark

If I remember correctly, you have to use IVaud. Since you can't import files into the resident.rpf with Spark IV or Open IV.

@OP

Creating a siren can be difficult, and most people have trouble with it. I'm just giving you a tip that you need patience.

You don't have to ask them to edit it, you just can't upload it without their word. So you can edit it without asking, but don't upload it anywhere.

I used Spark to change horns without any problems or I misunderstood your sentence?

As it says in the title how do you make siren?

Tools Needed

1. Audacity

2. Siren file (any length)

How to start

1. Open up Audacity and load the siren file.

2. Select six seconds of the siren (any six seconds)

3. Note when the part you want starts (For example 2,0 to 7,0)

4. Hold down the mouse button and pull from the end of you siren (Part you start from)to the end of the siren.

5. The part should now be highligted. Click cut.

6. Take the part you started from (Mine is 2,0) and pull it to the start of the siren. Click cut.

7. Now you should have a five to six second siren. Save it as a wav.

We're not talking about replacing sirens, but creating them from audio files.

Well, if you hadda read the title it say's "How do you make a siren?" therefore, your "made contribution" has no relevance to this topic.

On-topic: i've tried myself, mixing an RCMP siren with an O.P.P siren, unfortunetly it sounded like someone farted.. :dry:

Is too generic. If you are creating a wail for instance you need 1 cycle clipped at the correct spot so when looping (shift play in audacity) it sounds continuous (I use pattern analyzer (I think that's the right term for the tool) to help). Things like the air horn do not need to be that long (1 second). All of your editing needs to be done at 44000hz (I'll double check that and edit my post later if need be).

And the key, it needs to be loud!!!!!!! Use amplify for that and allow clipping. It will sound like crap in audicity but test it in GTA IV.
