Particularly Dangerous Situation warnings are a form of enhanced wording used by the National Weather Service in the United States for tornado events expected to be long lived, intense and life threatening. The wording is reserved for rare, high confidence situations rather than routine warnings. Clips of these alerts circulate online through storm chaser uploads, weather channel recordings and emergency alert recreations, where the distinctive tone and serious phrasing are instantly recognisable. That rarity and gravity keep the sound in use for realistic storm edits and dramatic weather content.

The new PDS tornado warning alert sound from US weather emergency broadcasts, used in storm videos, weather memes and fake alert edits for dramatic tension.
This is a short emergency alert tone and announcement associated with a Particularly Dangerous Situation tornado warning, the most serious level of tornado warning in the United States. It has a harsh, urgent electronic sound designed to cut through television and radio broadcasts and demand immediate attention. The severity of the wording and the insistent alert signal create instant tension, even before any storm footage appears. Viewers recognize it as a signal of life threatening weather, which is why creators use it to add realism and dread to storm related clips.
