They say that the noises have gone on for hours each night this week.
But most are attributing the siren sounds to roadworks currently being undertaken overnight on the A264.
There is speculation that the sounds are being carried because of the warm nights and people sleeping with their windows open.

The roadworks themselves involve roadway resurfacing as part of the north Horsham development which will eventually see 2,750 new homes built in the area.
The roadworks are due to finish on Monday August 15.
