Oh ok. Wow really didn't know that. I wish there was a audio recording of a ACA Hurricane siren doing Hi-Lo signal.
The admin Videogamer made this video, he does the coded signals using his hand. His Hurricane is not a coded siren though. Also, this is without the blower.

That video is somewhat close, except ACA only did the five signals as described in my earlier post. Unfortunately the majority of Hurricanes were being removed during the 1980s to 1990s - that would have been the prime time to photograph and record them. By the time ARS moved to this site in 2006, the Hurricanes were already near extinction. At the very least we have more information about this siren now than we did back then - the Hurricane wasn't really the greatest siren out there in terms of performance, but it certainly was one of the most interesting from an enthusiast's standpoint.
