This is in St.John, KS and according to the guy they only have 1 siren...which seems about right for a town of that size.

I definitely hear at least two sirens, and I'm thinking they're probably electronic sirens. the lower pitched one sounds like a Whelen, maybe a Vortex, or a 4004. I'm not sure about the higher pitched one though. It could either be another Whelen, or even a single tone ACA/ASC Alertronic. There may be another siren going off in the distance. The first two I mensioned create a tritone when sounding together, and that makes them sound spooky. I think this video may have been posted before.

One definitely sounds like a Whelen of some sorts. Not sure about the others. Either way sounds like the town has good coverage!

Not sure about the one in the background, but a Whelen is closer.
