was there any aca hurricanes before 1968?

Wed Feb 05, 2025 12:27 pm

so my grandfather had an old VHS tape with a movie called doctor strangelove. at some part an air raid siren goes off making a yelp like signal, and it sounds a lot like a hurricane. the film was made in 1959, so i'm just asking if there was any (or a prototype) at the time.
edit: i found a video (https://youtu.be/tyOLJ99ysdU?t=343)
(also mods take this down if there's not enough info or something)

I'm going to say that it is not likely an aca hurricane but more likely another dual-toned siren with the same amount of ports.
I am a siren enthusiast from Washinton state. I don't own any sirens.yet

i don't think there were any sirens able to do a yelp signal except the prototype hurricane

There was none that I know of
Owns a ex Trojan! federal signal model 7 And a 3-d printed ACA hurricane mkII and mini model 7T miscellaneous 3-d printed/lego sirens. Hopes for there to be a ACA hurricane 130 at sirencon one day.
