Dual FS Thunderbolt 1000Ts Toluca, IL

[TommyBNSF]

Here is the main star of this past Tuesday. I stood between 2 1000Ts, both about 800 ft away from the camera. The audio recorded is just astounding. The 1st test done by Marshall County is for 3 minutes and 4 Thunderbolt 1000Ts can be heard. Then the 2nd test done by the Toluca Fire Department is for 1 minute, and the Cyclone in downtown joins in. I can honestly say, this is the best siren test I have, and maybe ever will record.

That is just...wow

I've been saying for years more videos need to be like these!

The 1000T shown in the video seems to be on Chopper 4 with a 208V motor, while the second closest one is solid Level 4, the 3rd most prominent is on Chopper Level 2.

Gives me the goosebumps!

Sounds great! I like the fact that all four Thunderbolts were installed in 2007. The coverage is a little overkill, though.

Is there any way you could get a recording of all four Tbolts from about a half a mile away? The wind-up and wind-down would be insane!

Thunderbolt while a medium to high level maitenace siren when taken care of will last a very long time, just do annual oil changes & periodic belt changes.

So is there any place in town that's quieter than 100dB when the sirens are all running?

I suppose everybody wanted to be able to hear the sirens inside their houses.
