Hey guys, I’m currently watching the Day tripper adventurer videos, and they show the cyrin from station number 60 which is a memorial fire station thing, and when he showed a close-up of the siren it looks like you can actually see another set of ports directly under the siren

First of all, it's "siren", not "cyrin".

Second, you're actually seeing the only set of ports. For some reason, a large number of these "flattened bird house" style Federal Signals had the core (the siren inside the housing) flipped upside down. I believe this was done in an attempt to increase sound output, being that the "smooshed" housing appears it would be restrictive. They are nothing more than normal Model 5's.

Please note that is actually something my phone decides to substitute in, which is a bit of a nuisance but considering it’s in my contacts But it’s a thing that my phone does

Oh the cyrin Is actually because I have someone in my contacts by that name And so my phone decides to “Correct” when in reality it’s more of a nuisance than anything

And wow I just learnt something new today, I didn’t actually think that they flipped them upside down, I thought they actually mounted it on top of an older Siren of some sort Or potentially they had two sirens, a Dual tone for civil defence and single tone for fire, in a similar way to how the Europeans do their sirens

, I apologise if I sound like a siren Kiddie But this is generally what I have found out plus combined with a assumption of knowledge, please do take my words with at least a water softener bag of salt
