As for the electronic voice, when I'm inside, I can understand it about as well as the electronic voice in the train at the Atlanta airport -- or a bus driver.

Yeah, I never even heard the sirens inside a classroom, thus proving how safe I was while at SLU. Even outside you can't understand because they overlap as they echo and go off throughout the city.
I have pretty good siren-radar so to speak. It can be 3 in the morning at home and I'll be fast asleep but sirens go off and BAM I'm up. I consider it a good survival technique for Central Illinois.
