According to the city's website Waldport, Oregon has discontinued using their tsunami warning sirens in favor of a reverse-911 system. http://www.waldport.org/Documents/misc%20files/emergencyinfo.php Other cities on the Oregon coast have been installing or replacing old sirens recently.

It's different, but doesn't carry any urgency to it. I guess as long as everyone knows what that sound means it gets the job done.

What's the tone at 1 minute and 30 seconds? :?: Is that Federal Signals' tone for an air horn? That was simulation/recording of a 55 resonating horn, most likely a custom tone.
