I would love to know what the reasoning is for sirens at silly late hours when the roads are empty. That cop who got arrested in the link also didnt have lights on thats why he was done.
Take it from someone who lives in an area with this that having the siren on all the time is less likely to wake people up than turning it on and off. With it on all the time it will start of as a background ambient noise that slowly gets louder so the body will adjust to it easier, versus a sudden loud noise that just occurs aka alarm clock style.

The reasoning is quite simple ,in the link that Chris supplied the officer involved didn't use any sirens at a "silly late hour" and ended up killing a young girl ,that was a high profile case which has probably encouraged other officers to use the sirens/lights even when not strictly nescesary just to cover themselves ,and can you blame them .I would say that using sirens is more important at night so i would expect them to be heard more at night
