The Siren Board

we have in germany nice firealarm systems in scools or in manufracturer halls or somewere else the most specific sound sic the wail or the whoop. please type on youtube in feueralarm (means firealarm) ore feuersirene (means firesiren) and then you can see our systems in scools or somewere else.

German fire alarms are much more melodious than the newer American ones, which usually sound an earsplitting, high-pitched screech.

Here is a nice whooping alarm in Hannover, similar to the general alarm in the opening scene of Star Wars Episode IV:

FINALLY, here is a traditional, old fashioned American school fire alarm. The alarm in my high school sounded exactly like this, except a little slower.

Just letting you know those two are the same.

And in the beginning of the last video it sounded like T-Bolt 1003 solenoids clicking without the chopper running. Haha.
