Nice videos. Your unknown siren is a Thunderbolt 1000T set to a higher chopper voltage. Listen to the wind-down (at :39) in the first video and it becomes really obvious.

The loudest one sounds like a Sentry 8 port

In the first video, the loudest siren is definitely a Whelen. I also heard several Thunderbolt 1000's, and at least one 1000T or 1003. There may also be an XT22 in the mix as well. The sirens in the second video may all be Whelens. In the third video, I heard a Whelen, an XT22, and a dual tone Thunderbolt.

Here's a video closer to that scary sounding siren.

There's no way that's a Whelen of any sort. Most likely a Sentry.

That's a sentry siren, can never miss that sort of tone from any siren.

Yep, definitely a 16/8 Sentry.

I wish they would have gotten the wind-down. It does sound like a Sentry up close, because there are a lot of higher harmonics. It sounds like an eight port single tone siren to me though, but I could be wrong.

I still say it's a Sentry siren, hehe. :P

Have sirens south of me that are Sentry. Can't mistake that sound. :D
