When I was about 8 years old (2016) I woke up early while my parents were still asleep and turned on the TV to see what to watch. Superjail was on and I cried due to so much gore being on the TV, even if it was cartoon gore. I was 8.

Yeah, same here. It's those damn alert tones. They aren't even meant to get people's attention, in America at least, they're just a handy side effect of the digitally encoded audio signal the system uses.

The extra siren for Amber alerts though, that's what would set me off.
