Almost complete absence of the sound of twos-and-blues. Especially in the rush hours they were so common that I didn't realise how frequent they were until now when there aren't any. None yesterday, nor today.
Interesting. Heard a rapid drop in the first couple of days here but since then a major increase. Haven't been out to see any so don't know if police or ambulance.
Normal amount here, but we're round the corner from a fire station and between a major hospital and the centre of town.
There has been notable a reduction in car horn use, I think I've only heard one today (a 'no, you reverse' stand-off outside our house, not from the main road).

Still plenty of people driving around in cars, though traffic is lighter than the average Sunday. Students appear to have mostly gone home (though the ones on the other side of my wall are still giggling), as evidenced by a reduction in parked cars, overflowing wheeliebins and That Fucking Burglar Alarm On $adjacent_road going off...

...repeatedly at antisocial hours.
I've just realised: The sirens are passing quickly. There's a doppler shift and everything. Normally (during the day time) they have to squeeze their way through stationary traffic at the bottom of Silly Oak.
