I found this when I was on trip. It's near Balaton. Does anyone know what are these sirens? Please help.

It's pretty difficult to say what is this siren on the top, you should take a good camera and take a picture of it

These are likely just some speaker horns on a pole. As to that top thingy, that could possibly be a mechanical siren of some kind. Or a light. Can't tell, I've seen lights with that shape. Quite an interesting discovery

Possibly a Cold War-era German siren.

There are 2 control boxes, so they are most likely sirens.

I almost wonder if it is something from the communist-era. The siren looks relatively similar to some combloc sirens that I recall seeing, although granted there are subtle differences. It does, at least to my eyes for what it is worth, look similar to the DS-977 from East Germany, just taller.

This is the only one in Hungary. Not a DS977.
