Oh, I've been to Tennesee, they have P-50's there. I've yet to hear a Cyclone in person. The P-50 I heard when in Tennesee was when I went to Memphis, and it about 3 miles away when tested. It was still very clearly heard, especially with the massive echo it created. Haha.Valtonus wrote:GreenblottF wrote:Heh, do you really think I haven't heard a P-50 or a Cyclone?

But, at close range (less than 1/6 of a mile away), the T-128 is the winner for the creepiest siren on my list.MKEsignal135 wrote:
If you think T-128's have a creepy sound (which in my opinion I disagree and I live in a town full of T-128's) you should hear a P-50 or a Cyclone. They sound so creepy especially at the distance.
I beg to differ. You don't have to have heard a P50 or Cyclone to be a siren fan. Here in Oklahoma, there isn't many Cyclones, and the closest one would probably be at least a hour drive, and there is no P50's in Oklahoma at all.
Hey Thunderbolts are really cool too and they're still easy to find. They sound awesome at the distance as well and the 2T22 winddown is a bone chiller at the distance. And I live near 34 P-50's (14 in Milwaukee, and 20 in Kenosha) so I'm well used to them out here.Synther wrote:I guess i'm not either.

I guess I'm not a siren fan then, as it isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world to just go hear a P-50/Cyclone in person when you live in Northern MichiganGreenblottF wrote:Heh, do you really think I haven't heard a P-50 or a Cyclone? I wouldn't be classified as a siren fan if I didn't LOL.
They even have 1 remaining (albeit inactive) Thunderbolt 1000 on the roof of the Phoenix City hall. It's a sad sight to see, just rusting away up there... BUT, I've also heard talk that a private buyer is going to restore it. Hooray for private buyersMKEsignal135 wrote:Hey Thunderbolts are really cool too and they're still easy to find.

On the idea of you not being considered being a siren fan based on the fact if you have heard a P50 or Cyclone, the base is, that is not true. It.. just isn't true at all. A lot of us on here haven't heard a P50 or cyclone. You don't have to hear a specific siren to be a siren fan, heck, VASirens hasn't heard a thunderbolt, and is he a siren fan? Yes.
