Backwards compatibility and in-band signalling sucks. The EAS "Attention
Signal" was to trigger equipment attention. Humans just happened to also
hear it.
If the next-gen EAS used out-of-band signalling, then the human audiable
signals could be for humans.
Japan uses a very different audible signal for earthquake warnings versus
other types of warnings.
