Wailing sirens during the wee-hours of the night. Thumping rotor blades of police copters swooping over the city. Loud squad car radios blaring out of cruiser windows. All sounds of the big city — or in the case of Santa Monica a little big city.

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your answers in next weekend’s edition of the Daily Press. Please limit responses to a minute or less.
