Yeah, it was a little out of the way. Not some place you'd think "A siren should be around here somewhere."

I knew something was in the area for a while but I didn't find it until three weeks ago. Actually, I took the pictures the day I broke up with my girlfriend so it took a while to feel like messing with them. It's a 4008 right on a road, on the border between Merrimac, MA and Newton, NH. Part of the ...

Something I picked up a while back and finally got around to filming:

That'd be fun to use as a tone generator with my home stereo. Could probably scare most of the neighborhood if I wanted to.

It was painful when it was pointed at me so I had to cover up. I was about 250-300 feet away. When it was off in another direction it wasn't terribly loud.

Another Amesbury 4008 from the 11-10-2010, 12:30 PM Seabrook test. This one is located right in the center of town behind the Public Works building. I shot from a fairly short distance and found that hearing protection was needed when it was aimed in my direction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYSO...

I got my siren. Uploading the video right now.

The public works guy in Amesbury seemed to think there was one in Merrimac, but he didn't know where. My girlfriend lives there and said the noise was quite loud.

If I'm not working that day I'll be in Amesbury to watch the test. Might bring a DV camera if I can find the battery.

There's another 4008 off of Rt113 near some kind of park entrance in West Newbury.

The handout says 12:30PM.

Anyone know where the Seabrook system siren(s) is(are) in Merrimac? The test is going to be Wednesday the 10th and I might be in town then.
