On April 26, the commission conducted a poll asking Jordanians to express their views on the sound of the gas truck music.

On their website, the commission asked citizens what they thought about keeping music as a siren to notify citizens and residents of the arrival of propane gas distribution trucks in their areas.

The options to answer were, "Yes, I find it appropriate", "No, I prefer to order [gas] by phone", "No, I prefer to order via a smart application".
