What makes matters worse is that it is active. I might record it someday since I live close to it.

Here's a lower siren. Not the lowest, but its about level with the road behind the control station.

Search first. That is well known.

Sorry about that. Here's a model 2 in Mesick MI. Its across the street from the family dollar in the little concrete square garden Southeast corner. Visible on street view.

Two questions:
1- What is that thing, and is it even a siren?
2- Why the hell is the big thing so low mounted?

That’s not a diaphone. Google that first.

It does however look to be an air horn more than a siren. Where is it located?
