The traffic fatalities of bicyclists in cities would like a word with you...

And yet if I permanently had a siren on my bicycle you’d think I’d be an asshole.
I believe the solution is not loud noises.

There are plenty of other options.

Most importantly, slowing down cars in residential or dense areas. The slower vehicle traffic is moving, the less likely that a collision will be fatal. (By a lot!)
