Because they are on an emergency run. They may be going to save someone's life, or prevent a crime.
Pull over if you can do it safely to let them by. The reason they only flash the lights without sirens is because they do not want to upset the people they are going to take care of. Some people with heart conditions could die if they get excited. Some other emergencies require the people involved not to be subjected to the noise of the sirens. They do not want to get them upset. When they have ONLY THEIR LIGHTS flashing, they may be reacting to life-threatening situations just the same as when the sirens are going. You should always pull over for them.
No they can't unless they have their sirens and lights on.
There is not a specific phobia for the fear of sirens. Acousticophobia is the fear of noise and ligyrophobia is the fear of loud noises, which could be sirens. Misophonia is a neurological disorder that is the hatred of sound.
the sirens tell people that a car is coming also it sends a signal to stoplights for a go.
Driving error due to the driver being diverted. signals from other traffic - in particular sirens - are not heard There is noise pollution for others even when the window s are closed
Yes emergency vihicles automatically have the right of way if they are flashing lights and sounding sirens.
Some states allow volunteer firefighters to do a variety of things to allow them to respond to an emergency. Flashing blue lights are typical. Sirens are unusual but might be allowed in some states.
Yes. You are required to yield to any emergency vehicle with active emergency indicators (flashing lights, sirens, etc).
No. ALL vehicles are supposed to yield the right of way to emergency vehicles.

If the ambulance has it's flashing lights, and/or sirens activated, you should pull over and act as if you would for any other emergency vehicle. (Such as a police car or fire truck.)
Yes, pull over when it is safe to do so.
No. You cannot use just your lights, unless it is an audio glitch. But you can beat your car up so bad that sometimes the noise of the siren wont work, but who wants a beaten up car?
