All I heard was the chimes, similar to 'top of the hour' on campus.

Quote :
" An emergency warranting use of the audible alert system will be initiated by a pulsed tone lasting for 30 seconds followed by a short message, with this sequence repeated three times. When the audible alert tone sounds, NC State personnel are being advised to do the following:

* Seek shelter immediately
* Obtain information from the University home page on any additional action to be taken
* Stay tuned for further information until an “all clear” signal is obtained from campus officials. Any campus emergency initiated by the alert system will be closed with an “all clear” signal from the system. This signal will be a “Westminster Chimes” tone followed by a short “all clear” message, with this sequence repeated three times.


In some cases, live voice messaging may be utilized. In this event, a short voice message will be communicated to all or a select group of speakers."
