It's the largest in the USA, therefore it's the largest in the world! Americans can't point their country on a map, you think they know what Germany and Austria are?

Bashing Americans is all well and good but I'm pretty sure it's a specific type of siren system they're talking about and not necessarily comparable to old war/air raid sirens.
