This is based on the steam horn of a WWII Royal Navy destroyer.
Another red alert klaxon is the one used in the Star Wars films, notably when the two Star Destroyers are passing each other in The Empire Strikes Back, and when Darth Vader's shuttle is approaching the Death Star II at the beginning of Return of the Jedi. A somewhat higher-pitched alarm can be found in shows like Bones (usually during Establishing Shots of the lab), and especially Japanese Tokusatsu shows. Similarly, there's the siren a submarine sounds when it's about to dive, usually rendered as "Awooga! Awooga!". You'll hear it prominently whenever anyone calls for one on Star Trek. The Red Alert - All ships have the same red alert klaxon. The Imperial siren from Star Wars has been used in quite a few parodies and beyond. 
Some notable examples are The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Haruhi Suzumiya, Sweet Blue Flowers and Serial Experiments Lain, but almost any show featuring Japanese (and sometimes even non-Japanese) trains could be mentioned.
Many, many anime shows feature the same discordant electronic bell sound for railway crossings, likely because it is used by real railways throughout Japan and thus very recognizable. Whenever breasts are involved in any kind of motion, the same electronic "boing" sound effect is used. A lot of the mecha shows like Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Armored Trooper VOTOMS, and even ones as late as After War Gundam X re-use the same sound effects from Fizz Sound Creation for scramble alarms, the mecha moving, shooting, and doing what they do. Since these are used a lot by real-life schools, this can be considered be a case of Truth in Television. The school bell used in high-school anime: always the Westminster Chimes, and oddly enough, almost always played using the Tubular Bell patch on a Yamaha FM synthesizer. Sometimes, the sound of a Siren Wailing was used for a Police Car, Ambulance or a Fire Truck Siren. 
A ringing school bell, used most often in American schools to signal the start and end of class periods.Scoreboard buzzers like the ones used in basketball games and hockey games.This sound is particularly popular among the producers of EAS Scenarios, since it definitely sounds rather threatening! Meanwhile, for media set over the last few decades, if the scene calls for a storm siren, you can be sure it's probably going to be the throaty howl of a Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T Tornado Siren.Apparently, the British company Carter Gents of Leicester has a global, temporal, and metaphysical monopoly on making air raid sirens, because, regardless of universe and time period, an air raid of some description will always be prefaced with the sound of a Carter Gents siren (skip to 1:35 to hear the siren running) from World War II.
