Sorry, I was explaining why the All Clear/Situation Over notice goes out in relation to Amber Alerts

This doesn't make sense. As you point out above, the need for the "all clear" is so that people stop sending in tips. If I'm asleep, I was not among those sending in tips. In other words, the audience for the "all clear" does not need to be the same as the audience for the original message.
Moreover, if you are sending in tips, you do not need an alarm to accompany an all clear message. You are already paying attention. The message itself is all that's needed.
It appears that the issue with the system as it is is not being able to change the delivery method to suit the message that's being delivered. If they can't choose whether to omit the loud noises from the message, that seems like a flaw that should be addressed, if possible.

Well, it's an All Clear/Situation Over. So while the main thrust is to have folks stop calling in tips, it's general purpose is to let folks know that the situation is over with. It's kinda like you'd get after a Tornado has passed your location. It's dissipated, so the All Clear is sounded.
I agree that having a single level of alarm is not the best of plans, but I don't see that changing anytime soon. It's one of the many suggestions I've submitted to AEMA.
