Kosin store outdoor sound systems

First off, HUGE thanks goes out to Tyler (antiwhoknows) for editing the video for me while my computer is down and out. This is the monthly test of Houston County's outdoor warning siren system, as well as my privately-owned Federal Model 2-240. My siren is now on a new "perch", right at about 15 feet from the ground and on an actual utility pole instead of a 4x4 post. The siren does a double growl during the pre-test voice messages as a heads up to anyone in the immediate area, and is then followed by a 30sec alert tone alongside the county's sirens, and finally a ~30sec attack signal, usually consisting of two cycles.

*Originally Recorded 6/22/2012 This is a weekly test of the Weather Warning Siren System in Gibson County, Indiana. Sirens in Gibson County normally test at 12 Noon CST (1:00 EST) and sound a full, three minute alert cycle during tests and severe weather. Gibson County, Indiana, consists of mostly ASC sirens and a few older Federal Signal sirens that may or may not be active. The sirens only test when there is no hazardous weather imminent in the area. This siren is located on W Main St. & N 4TH St. in Francisco, Indiana. Francisco is a small town located in Gibson County along SR 64. It is between Oakland City and Princeton, Indiana. You may or may not remember that I have recorded this siren before. Just like the last time, the siren appears to run on batteries during the test. My dad recorded this siren the first time and I drove here and recorded this siren for the second time. I did this primarily to compare my old camcorder to my new one. If you haven't noticed I recorded it in the same location as the first recording. It was the first time I've heard a T-121 in person.

This is a weekly test of the City of Bedford's Weather Warning Siren System. They test every Friday at Noon, but I am unaware how detailed the procedure is. I have watched a video where their Whelens did Attack/Wail for a tornado warning but, I didn't hear voice...maybe its the dispatcher's mood that determines whether or not it does voice or sounds wail, even during tests. I'm sure they use voice for something, otherwise, why buy 4004s to begin with? According to an article I found (by chance too) there are 10 WPS-4004s in the system, I only found six so far (visually confirmed 5). I also found a 16/16 port Sterling and a Vortex in Mitchell and a Model 5(B?)T in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't even looked like it is hooked up...or if it is I don't know why they would put one there. This 4004 is located on 16TH ST and N St. by a convenience store. I parked in busy parking lot while it was raining. Luckily, it wasn't raining as bad as the 2001-DC recording I did awhile back but it was a much cooler rain that would soak my camera. So what I did was hold a small red umbrella above it. I did nothing whatsoever. I looked in the trunk of the car and randomly found a large, rainbow colored beach umbrella. Embarrassing as it was, I used that to record the siren. After the recording I drove around places where I thought I heard a siren sound after this 4004 shut off. I found two and later I found another one on Google Maps. Either way I'm glad to have recorded this 4004 since it ...

This is a test of the Knox County Outdoor Siren System. Sirens are normally tested on Saturdays between 11:00-12:00 EST if the weather cooperates. Today the sirens were set to sound at 11:30. This particular siren is located on top of Tecumseh-Harrison Elementary School. A big thanks goes to the Knox Co. EMA director whom I asked If he could set them off today. Personally, this was the first time I have ever heard a 2T22 in person, yet alone a single phase 2T22. It sounded very musical and even was loud enough to vibrate the ground for a FULL three minute blast. Most of Vincennes older sirens are either mounted on a very low roof or pole. They are not the most common type of siren to find in Southern Indiana which contains mostly newer Federal Signal and Sentry sirens. I honestly didn't think I was going to be able to make it to the test today. We drove very fast to be able to make it. Once I got out of the car I could hear a nearby Sentry 3V8 for a few seconds before winding down. I thought I already missed the test. I still proceeded to have the camera record a short clip of the siren sitting still. When I was about to turn the camera off the siren sounded. Knox Co. Siren Map (Unfinished) g.co

This is a test of the Knox County Outdoor Siren System. Sirens are normally tested on Saturdays between 11:00-12:00 EST weather permitting. Today the sirens were set to sound around 11:35. The sirens will only be sounded during mostly clear days. They will not be sounded during overcast skies. Once again, a big thanks goes to the Knox Co. EMA director whom I asked If he could set them off today. This particular siren is located at the Fire Department which is located near S Niblack Rd & N Railroad St. Knox County has several 3V8s and 3V8-Hs located throughout parts of Knox County. They also sound as if they are single phase which leads me to conclude that ALL of Knox County's sirens are single phase much like nearby Warrick County which has ONLY single phase sirens. This is my first time recording and hearing a 3V8 up-close. The first time I heard a 3V8 was back in February before a 2T22-B kicked-in at Tecumseh-Harrison Elementary. It then came to my realization that the sound on the small sirens are very capable of traveling very far. Knox Co.

This is a monthly test of the Dubois County Emergency Siren System. Tests are usually conducted the first day of each month at 4:00 EST, weather permitting. The background sirens (Model 7 & STH-10s) preform two minutes of attack while this siren and other 2001s in Huntingburg manage to stay on for another minute while sounding a steady, alert signal. This particular siren is located on N. Geiger St. There are also several older, Federal Signal sirens in the proximity that can also be heard. Although the 2001 sirens have replaced the older sirens, the older sirens are to be continually used as a backup in case the 2001 system fails. I would recommend using headphones to listen for the background sirens. This is one of several 2001 sirens in Dubois County which consists of mostly 2001-SRNs. However, this -SRN is very unusually high pitched. I am not sure why the pitch is so high but I do know all of Huntingburg's 2001-SRNs sound like this. Also if you go to 2:17 you can see that the rotator starts to "hang-up" and the siren sits still for a second.
