Sentry 16V1T-B, Full Attack (Ambience): Petersburg, Indiana (Pike Co. Tornado Siren Test, Audio) Video Clips. Duration : 3.62 Mins.


*This was filmed at the same location as the Whelen 2750. The Sentrys (County System) sounded shortly after the Whelens did. **Audio Only, for original video...ask me. In this video you can hear the Prides Creek Lake 16V1T-B that is located on the campgrounds. Currently this siren is sick and has a dead cell. At first I did not know that there was a siren at Prides Creek and I originally thought it was the siren at Pike Central High School. But then I realized that it would be too far to be heard so I went later that day and searched for it. You can also faintly hear the 16V1T-B at the Pike County Power Generating Plant. The siren in Prides Creek is a little less than a mile away.

Federal Signal Thunderbolt Siren Test Alert and Attack Video Clips. Duration : 2.57 Mins.


This is a test run of a FS Thunderbolt, not exactly sure what type it is but it sounds different than any other one I have come across so far. Its being tested on the first Wed's of the month on Alert and then Attack. Hope you guys enjoy!!!! :) This is part of a network of 248 sirens in the Jefferson County EMA's advanced outdoor warning siren system in Central Alabama. Tested on the first Wed's of the month. Sounds in Alert and then Attack. Alert is used for Tornado's. Jefferson County has one of the most advanced outdoor warning systems in the US, and are the first to move to a polygon type warning system which they are now implementing, in the event of a tornado warning, sirens under the new system will only activate within the projected Polygon by the NWS to reduce false alarms for people unaffected.

Federal Signal Model 2 - Growl, Alert, & Attack Tube. Duration : 2.65 Mins.


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.

Sentry 16V1T-B, Full Attack: Otwell, Indiana (Indiana Statewide Tornado Drill 2012) Tube. Duration : 4.38 Mins.


This is a special test of all emergency equipment in the state of Indiana. Sirens in many places in Indiana were activated between 10:00-10:30 EST and again at 7:30-8:00 EST. Otherwise, sirens in Pike County are usually tested the first Friday of the month at around 12 Noon EST and (much like this video) test in a full three minute attack cycle unlike Petersburg's Whelen system. This recording documents the 7:45PM activation. This Sentry 16V1T-B is located on N. Spring St. at the Jefferson Township Fire Department. It is very new and was installed just last summer in late July through August. Pike county recently received a grant which allowed them to purchase and install weather sirens in smaller communities such as Otwell. This is the first time I heard this type of siren up close, and I have to say it was not very loud unlike I was expecting it to be. However, it has a very unique sound which reminds me of an Hornman electronic siren in European countries. In case no one knows why the siren sounds like it is pulsating is because 16V1T-Bs (They also make 16V2T-Bs) have two, 8 horsepower motors that spin the choppers unlike one motor. Occasionally, one motor will spin a bit faster than the other creating a pulsating effect.

Federal Signal Modulator (Dual Tone) 6048, Short Alert and Attack: Bloomington, Indiana Tube. Duration : 2.05 Mins.


(*Originally recorded on September 2nd) This is a monthly test of the Monroe County (Indiana) Outdoor Warning System. This particular siren is located just south of Bloomington, Indiana on East Pointe Rd. and Morrison Ct. Although I like modulators I was disappointed since this siren did not sound for a long time as opposed to the background 2001s. This mod also seems to constantly have radio problems since many people who work at the golf course (which is by this siren) said a lot of times this siren fails to sound for its test. Another odd thing that happens is how the mod switches from an alert tone to a short wail tone. The wail tone also sounds a bit faster than most wail tones on modulators such as the DSA in Jasper. My parents also recorded this siren on that day since I was in school.
