Unknown Siren What could it be

[Daniel]

That is a great video of a bizarre siren. The housing looks very close, but the one in the video has a 7/10 port ratio and sounds the exact notes of the HOR Super Sirex. Your siren, having a 6/10 ratio, would be around a 6th interval, more harmonious and about half an octave lower than Decot's other 6th interval sirens (most of theirs were perfect 5th sirens like the Sentry 40V2T).

Congratulations, Archon!

Can't waito hear it.
A 6/10 ratio...very interesting.
Good luck.
Lucky also for the siren that she(?) has a loving home.

The siren in the link sounds a G - C# tri-tone
(tri-tone means three whole-steps, such as white notes F up to B)

Want to here what it would sound like? Here is a tone generated file I made of it. It will sound very close to this. of course When I get a real recoding of it I will post it. http://media.putfile.com/610-port-sound

So, a 6/10 is a Major 6th?

Interesting.

Thank you for your sound example.

Why is this page so wide that one must horizontal scroll to read it?
Other pages are not too wide.

It is due to the picture being too large. Pictures can be shrunk down with the appropriate software before posting them on whatever site is hosting them. Then, when they're linked to this BB they'll fit in the window.

Oh, I suspected that.

So, please place pictures beneath each other.

Thanks John.
