Does anyone have any tips for dealing with and calming down from being triggered by sirens?

I get stressed by the normal sirens like ambulances, cops, helicopters, but every once and awhile I'll hear a siren I don't recognize and I flip out. I immediately assume the worst, like I'm about to be hit with a nuclear bomb even when there's no alerts on my phone or no one else is worried.

I crumble and it throws off my whole day. I don't like feeling this helpless even when the stressor isn't there anymore. Any advice?
