ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

[championsiren]

It sounds to me like an electronic siren, so not something mechanical like an E57.

It definitely sounds like a Hormann, though.
Maybe an ECN.

Maybe, but it's the wrong pitch and the wind down is different. The wind down also lingers, which makes me think it's mechanical.

I'm stumped. Maybe it has a soundcard. I'm no expert on sirens from different countries.
(Well... except maybe carters.)

That's definitely a homemade type job. It could possibly be a siren, but I can't see it well enough to see if there are any controls. It could just as well be part of a citywide PA system.

It's some old PA speakers with nothing attached. Perhaps railway related?

Most likely. There is a railroad next to it.

I'm not sure if these are even sirens. They may just be PA announcement systems, but I want your opinions. There's an ATI of some sort very close by. This is in OKC. IIRC, at the Cox Pavilion. Some event center. There were more of those horns set up around the area, but most of them looked liked the one pictured. With one or two exceptions.










Here's that ATI:

Those are Custer Electric sirens. Nice find!

Soundmaster. And I love the old traffic light near it!

I know that area well and have seen these speakers before. I'm 99.5% sure they're railway-related. The city has a warning system of 2001s, Modulators and a couple XT22s and Thunderbeams for chemical incidents like the major spill in 2014.

Custer only installs sirens in Indiana. The ones here are just PA speakers.

Yup, those are Cobreflex speakers, used as PA. Custer uses those on his sirens.
