Looks like either a model 5/7 with custom housing or a beefed up ACA Cyclone.

The only upside down Cyclones were distibuted to Asia. It's a siren, but that motor and sutch makes me think it's a HOR. That small box on the left side of the motor looks like a capacitor box. If true, then that'll rule Federal out of the equasion.

HOR sirens are definitely rare. Ohio has a plethora of them, and Michigan has a few as well. Really hoping to record one some time. Not getting to texas anytime soon so I won't be able to see this one

I heard Japan have some Cyclones there. Do you mean those?

You mean Taiwan? Then yes.

No... They're all over the world...

And why you's trawl through the long dead pages of this sticky is beyond me. 2009 is when that was posted.

There was a siren I used to hear at my house, but I could never identify the exact model. I knew it was coming from a volunteer fire station exactly 2.9 miles away (as the crow flies, per GPS), but I could never actually see the siren when I drove by the station. Last night I was FINALLY able to see it from one particular vantage point on Google Street View, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. My best guess is a Federal Signal STH-10. Am I right?

That's an STH-10 alright.
