Add a warning if a song has a siren sound

Add a warning if a song has a siren sound

Due to the escalating threats worldwide, many people reside in or near war zones, potentially encountering sirens to warn them of incoming dangers.

Upon detecting a song with a siren-like sound (either through an algorithm or user feedback), I propose adding a siren icon beside the song's name and a tooltip that informs users that this song may contain siren sounds.

This approach aligns with your existing handling of songs with explicit lyrics.

Problem / Background- For people with PTSD is war-related countries (ukraine, russia, israel, palestine, etc..) hearing songs with sirens in them brings up air raids and raises stress level, often times requires stopping the music to make sure it's not a real siren.

Suggestion- Allow users to toggle a button which will skip / filter out songs that have sirens in them
