Are siren, alarm and similar listens relevant to ListenBrainz?

[Libra]

I guess this question can be extended to any ambient sound listens as well (rain, train, thunder, white noise etc), which quite often can be found on Spotify and YouTube

Alien - Nostromo destruct sequence

Civil Defense - Warning Sirens Collection - Episode #01 (Remake & Extended)

I’ve added some remixes a few years ago:

Tag “emergency population warning” - MusicBrainz

I thought this thread was going to be about tracking siren ‘listens’ heard in the real world, and it greatly amused me

And is also slightly intriguing…

Anything can be a jam is you’re courageous enough.

But yeah, if it is in MB, it can be in LB IMO. It doesn’t mean much for worldwide stats, but maybe the user want to track how many listens they do of alarms, it’s up to them.

Hey, we’re not judging…

I for one have a Morphine track as my alarm and while it’s not exactly related to the original question I would also not consider it a “listen” from my part.

[RustyNova]

I had music as my alarm and it conditioned me to hate it.

I now have the most annoying alarm so I can’t spoil what I already hate

I’d say it’s your call, but I’d only count something as a listen if I actually chose to hear it. An alarm or a siren is background noise to me. Then again I’d love a way to tag those separately so they don’t pollute stats but you could still see them.
