I finished all the calles for my Arduino siren. Now I need to hook up wireless, and some other things like a rotator motor. I have 6 different tones, and a cancel key. They are controlled by pressing a key on my keyboard. Note, I have to have the Arduino hooked up for serial communication. I will take it out once I add the radio things. The a button just does alert, s does Attack, d does Wail, f does Whoop, g does Air Horn (See Whelens air horn sound on there website), and h does Fast Wail. X cancels them. I will post a video when it's done. But how do I make an amp for the speaker?

Whoops, I forgot High Low! That is now the J key.

Did you get the sounds from
Wheln's Tone Library?

Just the Air Horn. I've heard most of them before. Well, I might have gotten whoop and wail to, idk.

But no. I had to actually program in every single tone from scratch. You can't just download sounds for Arduino unless you have a wav shield, and even then it wouldn't sound as good.

But what I need is an 8 button remote control. :/ Don't know where I will find that.

What is considered a "true" siren graveyard?
it's where sirens are brought out back, humanely dispatched with a single shot to the chopper using a captive bolt pistol, and buried below three feet of soft peat. A service with a minister is recommended but not required.
Quite inhumane.Its like cutting a chickens legs off so it cant run and then let it on the ground
