Here is an ancient coded Sterling Model M in Seekonk, MA. I highly doubt it's active.

I see a horn looking thing beside the sterling. What is that?
A diaphone?..
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.

I know next to nothing about diaphones.
Upon looking at some images though, it looks like one.

That would be a diaphone. These are most often used at fire stations to alert firefighters to fire calls, along with noon blasts (depending on the department).

Sorry for the blur as it was taken at some extreme distance from the back of a car.

North Brookfield, MA's old Thunderbolt 1003, photographed in August of 2008. The siren was eventually removed in very poor condition. I'm not sure if the fire department either switched to using pagers, or the siren stopped working beyond repair.

Found this Modulator in Cruz Bay, US Virgin Islands. Used as a tsunami warning siren.

That’s an ASC I-Force 2400. Neat find!
I have a thing for objects that light up or make noise.
