I watched almost all of the Panthers game and at some point they did stop using the siren in the 4th quarter.

But it was to the point where it was getting comical - just spitballing but the Panthers must have converted on something like 8 out of the 10 third downs that the sirens were played.

Anecdotally, I remember a few times where there was a delay before the 3rd down play - maybe a referee verifying something, a reset of the ball, or a timeout, and so the siren played 2 or 3 times before the actual play. And the Panthers would always convert.

The siren has become a doomsday signal - I'd be shocked if it appears for the Atlanta game at all.

It's a little known fact, but we in the Dome have seemingly always known when it was 3rd down, even going back to the 1990's. I'm not sure why we have to be told "It's THIIIIIIIRRRRD down" every time now. Maybe they assume senility is setting in.
