Well said Dave,
but some people won't listen, siren or otherwise.
There is also the issue that in certain traffic situations the ambulance will get through traffic faster with lights only as it appears that when some people hear the siren but don't see the lights, they just stop or slow to a crawl, in the road, and congest all traffic. Generally, experience teaches ambulance drivers the best way to get through traffic with the least risk. There will always be some people that get annoyed no matter what procedure is used. Sometimes if a person gets startled are scared they want to take out anger somewhere.
