Okay, I'm in Metulla, right on the border. The barrages are pretty much constant and we had six sirens between 11 am and noon. I was in the dining room of the hotel where a lot of journalists are gathered (WiFi and coffee), waiting for things to calm down and recorded the segment below: A siren goes off, and everyone's so used to hearing them that they don't even move or react. Going to Kiryat Shmona now. More later....
(I forgot to mention: If you listen carefully, you can hear the "whump" of explosions in the background. All the sirens were accompanied by falling missiles; the noise got louder when the siren stopped. Oh, and a bit of extra symbolism: The TV was broadcasting the photos and names of the people who were killed the previous day at Kfar Giladi, just down the road).
