Actually one would have to be fairly close to an aircraft and

Not sure that the sirens operated unless in a dive. I think it took
dive velocity winds to make it shriek.

That may be so, but the people I have met who have heard them said
they could be heard indoors. I would hope they could be turned off when
not needed. It would seem to me they would drive the aircrew nuts when
flying cross country.
