Can anyone help me with these, please.

""What damaged the siren at the plant?" (*)
I have ?A?t???N

"They hum you notice when upset" (4)

I only have ?O?? (I think the last letter is S, but why is the answer "SOBS" in that case?

"Run fast in an attempt to catch the ball (5)

I have ?H??? It might be "chase" but why?

All the best for 2006, everyone.
