Listen for the constant wind ups. Theyre the Whelens from Mariette GA.

That's funny how the YouTube poster called them a UFO!
Do you have any idea why they keep restarting at random, without winding down? It doesn't sound like a Whoop signal to me.

Well, given that there doesn't appear to be any storm in his area, they probably malfunctioned. They were probably receiving a signal to "Sound Alert" every so often so the siren simply kept "Sound Alert Command" every time it thought it received the signal, that'd explain the numerous wind-ups.
Though I have to admit, it does sound neat when they do the wind-up every 10 seconds or so. It makes for a rather unique signal.

I've actually heard some Whelens do that before, in another video. I'll have to find the link.

The only other video where I've seen them do something similar to that is this Oklahoma City video:

It does it right at the beginning.
1.) Wind up
2.) Wind up
3.) Alert
4.) Wind down
