I was supposed to record a T-135, but I couldn't make it in time(lunch traffic + train), So I recorded this instead...not sure why it stops completely each time in Attack...

That is one CREEPY sounding Thunderbolt, and a kid and an adult are under it. Were they activating it?

they were just looking at the siren itself I guess...never saw the dude open the control box. also, the echo probably made the siren sound creepier :)

I bet the motor that drives the "cogs" in the AR timer is weak or the switch that rides the cogs is having trouble.

It definitely is something to do with the AR timer. It sounds like they just have the wind-downs set too long in Attack. That can't be good for the blower motor. It has the same problem as this Thunderbolt.
