Re: Stanford University had a Chrysler

Of all the places I'd expect a Chrysler siren, that's definitely not one of them. I would have expected there to be multiple FS&S or Scream Master sirens instead. Nice find.

Re: T-121 or Random Horns

I'm willing to bet what's going on here is that those are probably church bells. Atlanta TX's church near the downtown library has what looks like a Loudon of some kind, but I can confirm that they instead play hourly chimes and they also play "Amazing Grace" at 5 PM.

Re: Siren? Found in Taiwan

I'm thinking this may be a setup like how the Taiwanese Cyclone sirens are used in tandem with other electronic sirens; the speakers look extremely similar to the ones on the towers with the ACAs.

Re: Greenville I-30 Hurricane is gone.

That’s devastating. I would have thought it would be fixed but, I guess it’s been there for too long. Not much hope for it anyway, we all knew it was going sometime. Greenville doesn't use sirens anymore. They use Reverse 911. Sad fate for all of the sirens there, including another Hurricane. I use...

Whelen Siren Failures and Malfunctions

I've always loved Whelen's sirens, but since I've been researching them on YouTube, I've found more and more failures of systems installed by this company, from speaker failures to straight-up battery explosions. Is the reason for the amount of these issues just because Whelen is an electronic-speci...

Armed Forces Base Lost Sirens

I was combing through old disaster footage from the 1970s all the way to 1999, when this clip caught my attention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMe0VPQftsc&t=155s One of the sirens is an overlayed sound, that generic 10-port siren you hear in just about everything. However, the other is actua...

Odem, Texas FS STH-10B Noon Blast

I guess this is technically a short alert since this is a weekly test. I advise to watch your volume if you're using headphones; the wind gets gnarly during the wind-down.

Re: Unusual/Interesting Siren Systems

Why are Hormann sirens so popular? I've seen them and lookalikes under at least six company names.

Re: The weirdest sirens ever seen.

How can I even tell if a siren is coded? If you show me a coded P-10 and a normal one I assure you I won't see any difference
