In Northern Ireland where I am ambulances only seem to turn their sirens on when approaching junctions where they will have to go through a red light, otherwise they just have their lights on

They'll also blip them when traffic isn't getting out of the way, but that also seems incredibly reasonable. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a "needless" siren on an emergency vehicle. But, like you, I am in the UK and the rules are different here
