I haven't seen this one posted here yet, and it was just recently added to YouTube. I can't hear the blower, but this siren definitely has one.

Wow, that is one spooky windup! This guy gets some good recordings of siren in Amarillo.

Indeed. KDK thanks as usual. You are lucky to have such a good mix of sirens in the AMA area. Just get all the good ones before the 2001's take over.

I'm not a big fan of the 2001's either. Their pitch is way too high, and they sound like toys compared to TBolts, or even T-128's or T-135's. If they're going to replace the TBolts, I'd rather them be replaced with T-128's and T-135's, than 2001's. There used to be a volunteer fire department siren in my area, all the way from the early 1980's to about 1990, that sounded just like a 2001. I'm not sure what that siren was, but it did rotate. I know it wasn't a 2001, because I don't think they came out until 1988. Does anyone know what that siren could have been? It wasn't quite as loud as a 2001, or even a TBolt.

Maybe this siren? Its a P15 and is manufactured by American Signal

Not that one. The siren I'm talking about was the exact same pitch as a 2001. The siren you linked me to sounds more like an older T-128.

You could have been hearing a Thunderbeam, they are high pitched

Here is a video of one in Attack,

Just a possibility

It's still not the same siren. The one I heard was a little higher pitched, and the windup was a little faster
