Is it just me or does anyone else think he actually won the lottery?

Actually, a 10/12 port siren would sound the notes A# and Db in the UK, and the notes D and F in the US.

Look it up- a Carter siren's tone is 475/570Hz.

Look it up where?
I bet Carter's frequencies are simply rounded off.
Still essentially the same pitches.
You're right, Daniel.
560 = C#
don't know why I said D#
And, A# to C# is a minor third.
Would create a Resultant of F#
Thanks,

If you set it off, I'd love to hide in the bushes and play a recording of Heinkels and JU-88s flying overhead...

If it was used for Tornado Warnings, would it be one long blast? I heard some states use other tones like attack, Hi-lo etc...
Would be weird hearing a Carter type siren for stormy weather.

All tornado warnings I have ever heard were one long tone.
I'd prefer the up and down changing sound which more easily stands out.
As far as I know, Hi-lo is only a call to volunteer firefighters.
Did you find any data from your siren's name plate?
Thank you,

Dan, why on earth would you want to move to hot, muggy, crime-ridden Florida? Come to cool, green western Oregon instead. No snakes or alligators under your house, just polite drivers and excellent local beer and coffee. Only $54 every two years to register your car, and no sales tax. Then again, if you're weary of English weather, you might not like it. Still, we could use more sirens out here.
