Federal Signal Modulator 1004, Roswell, GA Tube. Duration : 3.18 Mins.


Watch in HD! I'm back! It's been awhile since I have had the time to go out and make a decent video of a siren going off. [Mostly due to the fact that I lost the camera cable to my Sony HX1, but fear not, I have bought a MS reader!] This is a video of the Roswell, GA outdoor warning siren, performing the monthly test. The siren featured is a Federal Signal Modulator 1004. It does a soft start, but gets to a decent volume. It was rather windy, so please forgive the wind noise. This siren is in a mixed system of FS 2001's and Modulators of varying size. I call these things "MicroMods." They are about as loud as a Model 2 or 3. The siren runs a 3ish minute Attack/Wail cycle. Sirens are tested every first Wednesday of the month @ 12:00. Enjoy

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.

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.

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.

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.

Federal Signal 2T22B, Full Alert: Vincennes, Indiana (Knox Co. Tornado Siren Test, HD) Video Clips. Duration : 4.53 Mins.


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

Federal Signal Model 2-240 - Kathleen, GA Tube. Duration : 2.32 Mins.


First test in a while of my Federal Model 2, along with the county's Whelen 2900 system. Was going to run attack during the post-test voice message, but decided to be "nice" to my annoying neighbors, who were outside at the time of the test. Oh, and to anyone that's wondering... Yes, it is remotely-activated on the county system, and only does the alert signal with them. The growl was manually done by me via the AR timer's test button.

Federal Signal 500AT - Byron, GA Tube. Duration : 2.93 Mins.


Weekly noon test of Peach County, GA's outdoor warning system. This is a Federal Sign and Signal Model 500-AT, installed in 1967, on the lower truss of Byron's downtown water tower. The sirens typically run a 1 - 1 1/2 minute alert signal for the weekly test, but today it seemed to only run about 40 seconds. This is by far the best video I have of this siren in action, as it was taken with my new Sony HD camera. By the way, in case you guys haven't noticed, I've removed the first and third videos I took of this siren, since the quality officially sucked ass on those lol.

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.
