Didn't hear it personally, someone in the office has said it's an alarm towards Ascot.

If they turn the old Broadmoor buildings into a hotel I wonder if they'll have themed escape nights and a bit of siren action for authenticity.
Going to focus more on murder mystery, 20 year stays .Seriously; 6 years is the average stay and that figure is hugely skewed by the very few 30 year long timers. I always thought it was a prison but it's more of a holding cage, assessment centre for the criminally insane. As I said but for the grace of God ;-)
From a quick google I believe Wolfman in 1991 was the last from the hospital itself (triggering the siren), but there was also a sounding in 1993 due to a stabbing incident in the hospital:

I think there have also been some "escapes" while patients have been out on rehabilitation trips outside Crowthorne, but the siren wouldn't have sounded for those.

I went to school in Crowthorne and during the years there I remember two escapes. They would keep us all behind until we were collected by parents, then on the drive home we'd get stopped at the checkpoints and the Police would check all the vehicles coming through. I seem to remember one was found just outside the grounds, he'd broken his leg going over the wall.
On of my friends works there and has done for years, some of the stories he has are shocking.

I believe the broken ankle escape would have been in 87? I was at Wellington at the time and apparently the police tracked him through the grounds?On of my friends works there and has done for years, some of the stories he has are shocking.
Could well have been schoolboy stories though!
