This huge French siren from the 1930's sounds daily in Sao Paolo, Brazil. There seems to be another small siren underneath it.

Off topic, but watching this with English subtitles is pretty hilarious.

A very old siren. Those early French sirens had enormous horns and the motor was connected to the rotor via a bevel gear.

Is anyone else just getting a white screen when trying to view the videos?
I have an unhealthy obsession with mini sirens.

Made by CICCA... Very cool, wonder how it works.
And the siren in the first video has a huge exposed motor that looks all creepy.
I love Yamaha Music Sirens.
