Did anyone here run across it, or hear about any stations that had
trouble when their local EAS primary station aired it?

I havn't heard it or heard of any problems with it, but I can imagine
what it would sound like and I'm glad they got it off the air. Jerks
at ad agencies in the past have used car horns, sirens and ringing
telephones in commercials---to the confusion of listeners. On one or
two occasions during my years in radio I was able to persuade
managements to get agencies to change them on the ground that the
station shouldn't be broadcasting something that might cause an
accident. "Where's that horn coming from? Who's honking at me? For
what?"
