Got this idea off of the "Best Siren Ambience?" thread. Anyways, here is my favorite:

Not my video. By the way, I did a quick search and really didn't fond anything, so if there is one already, I apologize and this can be locked.

Ah, the STH-10s in Wyoming (or Utah, I forgot which) and those mystery diaphones were some of the first siren videos I saw on YouTube.
Speaking of which, I found my #2: a 1000 on Chopper 6 and has an incredible wind up in St. Paul, Minnesota:

And here's #3-a slightly high pitched P-15 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Kop's park IIRC):

Whoops, I knew it was in "uncharted territory". Still, very good STH-10 recording.

My own from the Yatesville, GA Thunderbolt and Model 7. Go to about 3:49 and close your eyes and go "HOLY S***, who started WWIII"

As this will probably be my final ARS post, I figure I'd reveal my favorites after being in the hobby since 2008.

Any videos from Christopher (TrainsAndSirens1) are probably my favorite. I have never seen such focus and perfect lighting on videos like these.

I also very well enjoy NEOhioTrainFan's recordings. I'm glad I got to meet him before we both part the hobby in some ways.

And Lucas' videos (2001scoop), I've got to meet him and record with him several times. He uses the same camera as me...

And to finish it off, Calvin Mayer & Bill Grooms have outstanding videos as well. I wont post links, as they have too many great videos to choose from (+100)

Now that you mention the Groomsman I think I can chose a favorite from all his videos. Good ol' Isabella County, MI. Amazingly clear video of a Hornet in Alert and Air Horn.

I do hate to brag about my recordings, but the one I took of the Thunderbolt that is in the smack center of Bluff park, Alabama is my personal favorite.

I do have a few other favorites, such as Ian's recording of Cobb #19:

Aaron N's recording of the Thunderbolt in Minneapolis (The west bank one):

And lastly, Ian's recording of my 5AT being run at Jebs. I just like the echos in it:

I do also like DJ's recording of the Thunderbolt in The Rock, which I feel deserves a nod:
