As the siren winds up the start capacitors discharge, in order to charge them back up for the next use, the siren charges them back up during the wind-down. There is a centrifugal switch on the motor so when the siren hits a certain RPM, it turns the motor into a generator to charge the start caps back up again. That is why it has a sudden wind-down. I hope the explanation helps!
