Federal Signal Modulator 3012 - Macon, GA Tube. Duration : 3.70 Mins.
Monthly test of Bibb County, GA's outdoor warning siren system, conducted on the last Wednesday of every month at 11am. This siren is a 3-celled Federal Modulator with a MCP controller, and is located at the dam on Lake Tobosofkee in west Macon, which doubles as both a storm siren and for warning in the event of a dam failure. The sirens ran for right at 3 minutes today instead of the usual 45 seconds to a minute. They were having trouble remotely activating and cancelling the sirens today, which delayed the test about 5 minutes and caused them not to be able to shut them down at their normal run time.

Whelen Vortex R4 - Macon, GA Tube. Duration : 2.65 Mins.
Monthly test of Bibb County's outdoor warning siren system. This siren is a Whelen Vortex, located in the industrial district in Macon, west of the Middle Georgia Regional Airport. This particular Vortex is programmed with the wail tone being its proprietary signal, regardless of the activation code sent to it. As you can tell, it appears to be having some controller issues, as it keeps restarting after a certain period of time, and does not like to cancel the signal in process when it should.

Loudoun ES2000 siren - Macon, GA Video Clips. Duration : 1.90 Mins.
As much as you guys seem to hate the sound of this thing, I decided to go back and re-record it in HD anyway since it's such a neat siren, and it's the last of its kind in this area. This is another monthly test of Bibb County, GA's outdoor warning siren system, in roughly one minute of the alert tone. You can hear several other sirens in the background, including a WWII-era Federal Model 5A, at least two Federal 2001-SRNs, and several Whelen Vortexes (including one in wail). The siren is located on Lower Bay Street, just off of 7th Street, in downtown Macon.
