Why are dual toned sirens no longer made?

[Stevan Z]

Federal told me a few months ago that they are thinking of making a 10/12 port siren. Probably will look like a 508.

Got some proof there?

They told me on Facebook that they are planning that in the near future.

I will get the message.

Federal was the one that led the pack by making single-toned sirens in the mid 80s. Federal was also the one that concluded that dual tone sirens are inefficient, leading to the single tone era.


Federal doesn't even make dual-tone Modulators anymore... that are dual tone form the factory, anyway. Either way, you're telling a lie, or you're telling a lie... unless you provide the official, legitimate message form Federal stating so, or you find some kind of prototype image/new patent visualizing this.

They told me on Facebook that they were planning to test it out.

I really doubt that. Dual tone was a requirement back in the day if you wanted matching funds from Civil Defense for your siren installation. Civil Defense doesn't exist anymore, and neither does the requirement. Federal Signal isn't going to spend millions of dollars developing, testing, and certifying a dual tone siren just because some of us think it sounds neat.

Screenshot the message, scribble out some part of your name if you want, but not the whole thing (to prove it's your message) and let us all see it. You've still provided no legit proof. Legit means some kind of video, screenshot (not edited in any way) or physical object that provides proof that something happened. in this case, that Federal was making this siren. Besides, why would Federal Signal use Facebook (of all things) to message You (of all people), and tell you (of all people) about a siren that directly contradicts what they've made over the past 30 years and all logic that accompanied them?

Civil Defense DOES exist on the state level. In my state, Hawaii, civil defense is still used and plays a vital role in public safety. Our statewide siren system is owned and operated by the Civil Defense.

Thats because I asked them if they were planning on making one. They said very likely in the near future. Not 100% sure yet. I had to ask them again because I deleted that old message and I'm currently waiting on a reply. I will screenshot whatever they say.

If you can provide ample evidence, great! In the meantime, "I deleted the message" is right up there with "My dog ate my homework" in terms of excuses.

I swear to god they said that. I just asked them again. They will usually reply in a few hours to a day. Just bear with me guys!

[Stevan Z]

They are not replying to the question all of the sudden. :problem:

Well look what we have here!
