The annual nationwide siren test takes place across Switzerland on the first Wednesday of February. In Zürich, the general alarm sounds for one minute with an oscillating tone, followed by a repeat two minutes later. This technical test ensures the functionality of over 7,200 sirens used to alert the population during natural disasters, technical emergencies, or water-related hazards.

The audio features the general alert echoing through the urban landscape near the Zürich Hauptbahnhof. Notable landmarks like the FFHS and Swiss Banking facilities stand within the city center as the civil protection system undergoes its yearly readiness check. No action is required by the public during this scheduled exercise.
