けたたましいサイレンの音に何事かと訝しくネットニュースを漁ると、フィリピン沖でマグネチュード8.4の地震の影響で、私の住むこの辺りにも津波注意報が出ていると。
それは大変。
身内からも注意喚起のLINEが届いた。
いつも思う不満は、町内放送（防災行政無線）の言葉が聞き取れないことだ。
サイレンも何か放送してることもよく聞こえるのだが、何を言ってるのかさっぱり分からない。
重要なことだから放送してるはずなのに困ったことだよね。
たぶん地形や放送施設との距離の問題で、全住民が聴きとれるようにすることは難しいんだろう。
ライブ会場の音響問題を思い起こす。
チケット買って勇んで出かけたのにしっかり聴けないと悔しいよね。
この解決技術の需要は高いと思うな。
ヘリコプターの音も聞こえるけど、被害がありませんように。
The blaring siren made me wonder what was going on, so I checked the news online and found out that a magnitude 8.4 earthquake off the coast of the Philippines had caused a tsunami warning to be issued for my area.
That's terrible.
I also received a warning message from a family member via LINE.
My constant frustration is that I can't understand the town's public address system (disaster prevention radio).
I can clearly hear the sirens and the broadcasts, but I can't understand a word they're saying.
It's frustrating because they must be broadcasting something important.
I suppose it's difficult to ensure that all residents can hear it due to the terrain and the distance from the broadcasting facilities.
It reminds me of the sound problems at concert venues.
It's disappointing when you buy a ticket and go all excited, only to find you can't hear properly.
I think there's a high demand for technology to solve this problem.
I can hear helicopters, but I hope there's no damage.
