Favorite siren recording?

[uncommonsense]

By and far: RamFett's recording of the P-50 on the Milwaukee County Courthouse. Everything's right: the pitter pat of the rain, the misty atmosphere, and the manipulation of the sound by the environment. It's a perfect recording.

I completely agree with you on that. There are not many recordings such as that one!

Those Model 20s still baffle me a little; I was always under the impression that the siren itself was set up similar to a 2T22 where it had a single, dual-shafted motor driving both rotors but it appears they must have two independent motors (one for each rotor). That would explain why this one here had only one rotor running instead of both, presumably because whoever reinstalled it only wired in one motor or the other one might have gone out, who knows.

The way the pitch wavers definitely reminds me of a sentry siren...

Sorry to bump an old topic, but I had to share this video of a 3V8-H or 7V8 sounding in attack for a fire call:

I love how the capacitors kick back in on that windup...
