Demonstration

Working

The principle is a a main oscillator that produces a wave. Beside, another oscillator that we call the low frequency oscillator (LFO) produces another wave. The oscillations of the LFO are modifying the frequency of the main oscillator, as a result, the amplitude of the main oscillations are changing, this is called modulation. The result is a siren that sounds like the cops, of the ambulance.
