We've all heard them, so why not make a thread about them? I recently found some sick or malfunctioning siren videos and thought I'd share them:

This was one of the old Allertors installed in Manitowoc back in 1975. In the video it is running alot slower than normal. It was removed in 2008 & replaced with a T-128. This video is by Uwtitanfan

Mendon MI's sick 1000T which each time I have been here the pitch always fluctuates. Packs a punch tho, always wondered if it has a 5M blower

Ah yes, the 1000 in Shawnee. From what I heard blue valley tried fixing it twice and then it finally worked.

yeah there is another video of it of where it just sounded like they put it on tap 7 but still wound down sharply, then when it was officially fixed, oh man was that one high pitched!
