Watching Morecombe and Wise on Yesteryear TV, Eric hears a police siren and says "He won't sell much ice cream going at that speed." Hoots of canned laughter. The joke is that the police don't sell ice cream anyway, right?

Yes, they are likening the siren on the police car to the music from an ice cream van.

No it is just the best joke that Eric Ernie and Eddie Braben came up with for that part of the scene.
