I'm sure there have been many others, seeing as that's where they originated from.

Yep, there was a green Hurricane in Greendale, WI (a suburb of Milwaukee, was part of the same system as this one), now replaced by a T-128.

Neat, it's cool to finally hear one. I like the sound, at least more so than the newer Whelen and Federal electronic offerings. It's a shame the tone wavers so much, but that adds to the scary factor, especially during a tornado warning. And I still think of this when I hear "Master Blaster&quo...

That's pretty disappointing. I don't care how much efficiency or what kind of range single tone sirens can boast, dual tone sirens are better at getting people's attention.

Cheaper is not always better.

Nicely done. You got really nice sound quality from the S5IS. Mine always has this weird high-pitched electronic hissing sound in the background. Oh, and I wasn't the first to film one of these bad boys. There was this one in New Orleans. Too bad the audio sucked and he talked through it. http://www...

Smaller rotor assembly, but same port ratio.

The only thing difference is the Howler rotated clockwise and the P10 rotated counterclockwise. Any reason for that? Both sirens have completely different rotation mechanisms. On the three phase version, the wires can be connected to rotate either direction. However, to be producing the most sound ...

Alright, you finally got it! It's really cool to finally hear it and the stereo recording sounds awesome! Interesting that it has a very different sound from the Screamer S-10, even though it uses the same rotor. The draw from the rotator takes a bit of speed from the rotor and the shroud concentrat...

Here's the Siratone 115 at the VFD in the Central PA Bourough my Grandpa lives in. Its still used for fire calls today, along with an ancient Sterling. It's the only Federal EOWS I've ever heard. It is incredibly spooky when it echoes off the mountains at night. http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg...

Awesome video. ACA/ASC sirens sound a lot more menacing than Federal Signal 2001s. Thank you. You speak the truth. Over time, I've grown to despise 2001's with a passion. Other than being mechanical and thusly having a wind up/down, there's very little for me that puts them in any better standing t...
