Not everywhere has constant/frequent sirens. If it's a big mental threat, it might be worth investigating if there's somewhere it's worth moving to.
At our old place (in Queens, NYC, so hardly no traffic), we didn't get a lot of sirens, but did get the occasional car alarm. And more importantly the ice cream trucks were loud enough that they would blast through the windows from several blocks away. I got really, really unhappy with the ice cream trucks.
The current place I think has more activist neighbors--plus we're back set from the street, so it's mostly really quiet (aside from the laundry room just outside the apt which we can hardly hear). No ice cream trucks, few to no sirens.
What I'm saying is that every place is different, so if you have the capacty to move, another area might be quieter.
