"Alarm" from police car triggers DMCA copyright strike on Twitch/YouTube

Specifically the "alarm" setting from police cars. Wail seems to be ok. 

 

It is flagged as being this copyrighted material: 

Emergency Vehicle - Police Car 2

Dr. Sound Effects

 

 

Here is a link to the muted VoD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449579753?t=06h07m05s

 

If this is indeed the intended copyrighted siren, would you please consider adding a streamer safe option which removes copyrighted sounds so that the game is safe to stream?

This is a regularly occurring issue on Twitch, not just with PZ but other games too. Sometimes it's copyright trolls who provide sounds that would regularly occur anywhere on Youtube, or Twitch (often in games), gaming automated content matching systems that would pick sounds that are "close enough" as matches.  

 

There is not really anything we can do about it, as we have all the required licenses.

Content creators would have to push back in instances like this, citing TIS as having the relevant licenses and remove the mute or any sort of copyright infringement "count" that might come with it. 
Twitch has a form you can use to appeal muted audio:

A streamer safe option is not in the cards for this, this isn't music being falsely flagged, it's a police siren sound that we have all the required licenses for as well.
