Use of emergency service sound effects isn't prohibited. Currently.

Eg. Radio commercials that use things like police sirens to get people to pay attention.

If it uses really, really bad de-aging tech, I'm in.

Reply to comment by TheStoryGoesOn in TIL that before Lincoln Center could reward David Geffen's $100 Million donation by renaming "Avery Fisher Hall" to "David Geffen Hall", they had to pay the heirs of Fisher - the original donor - $15 million. Geffen's donation has a provision that requires his name to be on the hall "in perpetuity". by AspireAgain
Well, not so much a donation as a $100 Million loan to get a building named for him until someone comes up with a $200m 'donation'.

It's not illegal (In the US. The UK and much of Europe is more sensible). Just about the only sound that can't be used is the US is the EBS Tone. Sirens, screeching tires, gunshots... anything you hear on broadcast TV, can also legally be used on the radio.
Per the FCC: "licensees should be aware of possible adverse consequences of the use of sirens and other alarming sound effects."
Which pretty much means "We DGAF. It's up to a judge to decide if you're liable if there's a problem."
