After extensive research I have finally found the siren strings for ELS and all but two siren tones are now working in-game!
They seem correspond to the OpenIV assigned names but they have the beginning part of the string added. These were all found by me personally through research and experimenting, so you're welcome (also would appreciate this being a pinned topic for others to find). From what I gather the string is basically referring to the location of the siren file in the game's archive ('RESIDENT' being the RESIDENT.rpf and 'VEHICLES' being vehicles.awc, followed by the siren name). Strangely, the siren names identified by OpenIV for the main LSPD tones and the Sheriff Granger tones don't work so I will need help with that. Anyway, enjoy!
LSPD Main Police Siren:
"VEHICLES_HORNS_SIREN_1" - Police Primary
("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_PA20A_WAIL" doesn't work for some reason)
"VEHICLES_HORNS_SIREN_2" - Police Secondary
("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_2" doesn't work for some reason)
Firetruck Siren:
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_FIRETRUCK_WAIL_01" - Firetruck Primary
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_FIRETRUCK_QUICK_01" - Firetruck Secondary
Police Bike Siren:
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_WAIL_03" - Police Bike Primary
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_QUICK_03" - Police Bike Secondary
Sheriff (Granger) Siren:
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_WAIL_04" - Sheriff (Granger) Primary
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_QUICK_04" - Sheriff (Granger) Secondary
^ These two aren't working for some reason
FIB Siren:
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_WAIL_02" - FIB Primary
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_QUICK_02" - FIB Secondary
Ambulance Siren:
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_WAIL_01" - Ambulance Primary
"RESIDENT_VEHICLES_SIREN_QUICK_01" - Ambulance Secondary
Siren Warning/Priority Tones:
"VEHICLES_HORNS_POLICE_WARNING" - Police Warning
("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_POLICE_WARNING" doesn't work for some reason)
"VEHICLES_HORNS_AMBULANCE_WARNING" - Ambulance Warning
("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_AMBULANCE_WARNING" doesn't work for some reason)
Siren Horns:
"SIRENS_AIRHORN" - Airhorn
("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_AIRHORN_EQD" doesn't work for some reason)
"VEHICLES_HORNS_FIRETRUCK_WARNING" - Firetruck Horn
("RESIDENT_VEHICLES_FIRE_TRUCK_HORN" doesn't work for some reason)
My three requests are:
1. Why are a few of them not working, particuarly the Sheriff Granger ones? Could someone with knowledge help?
2. Can we get an AI Sirens mod that makes the AI change siren tones based on the vehicle's VCF siren setup?
3. Is there any way to remove the pitch filters that are applied to some of the sirens? (e.g. the ambulance and fire truck sirens in-game are lower pitched than the actual file itself)
Cheers everyone.

So you downloaded a fancy 2015 Tahoe and installed it in the police3 slot, only to find that it rolls more than your eyes when your boss is talking to you. Does your Silverado not drive like a truck should? or maybe your '15 Charger doesn't feel right. There are a lot of options to choose from when deciding which handlingid you want to use for your car. I've compiled a list of what I use for handling lines, and thus far, all have worked just fine. For some of them, such as the Silverado and Expedition, someone else might of found a better handling, and if that's the case, please comment below letting me know what you're using and I'll give it a shot.
Some people like to edit the handling.meta. This is not a requirement, the handlingid is all you need to touch if you just want the basics. Handling.meta is there for those who know a bit about modding and want to refine the handling lines to feel realistic.
For those that might be confused on what the handlingid is, it's one of the top lines in the vehicles.meta.
Here's an example:
<handlingId>police3</handlingId>
All of these will be for police vehicles, I will not be covering modded civilian cars. Also note that this topic really only applies to those who have modded their police fleet.
