No, because none of those are components of the Emergency Alert System like television broadcasters and cable providers are, where those tones serve a specific purpose.

I JUST watched a Voyager episode where they find a plane from 1935 broadcasing an automated SOS, it was a clear SOS in Morse.
Guess they got over it.
Although an alert initiated by the president DOES take priority over locally initiated alerts, the audible tone is the same. Several years ago I actually heard a locally initiated alert and that tone WAS followed by official news about where local shelters were opening.
For weather alerts on my PiCrate, I use a Protoss building sound. I might separate low level stuff like a days-long heat alert from immediate threats like severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings
Exactly, since presidential alerts or tests are almost never sent, you’re far more likely to encounter the same tones as part of a localized severe weather warning or AMBER Alert. Calling them “presidential alert tones” shows a misunderstanding of what they’re for.
