Fairly low Model 5 with some pretty interesting stilt ladder things for a mount.

Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.

I know this is not the US, but I found a pretty low mounted FS modulator 1004 in Rotterdam, Netherlands: https://goo.gl/maps/eSMSXFExyzJ2 :mod:
Seen a: KM Europ, small Klaxon siren and a Gents' of Leicester "ahooga" horn.
Also a big fan of both Apollo and Protec fire alarms.

Dang! Even simple ear protection wouldn't be enough for blocking any of sound emitting from this low mounted 2T22A. And can you tell me why they chose to put the 2T22 siren on a fifteen to twenty foot pole? And was this college still there when this 2T22 was installed back in the fifty's? Or not. And when did California decided on discontinue all of there cold war Civil Defense sirens?

Centerhill VFD has that 3t22 that's on the ground. I believe it sounds because the wire is connected.

Proudly own a Edwards Model E, a Federal Enterprises Model 2, and a semi butched Thunderbolt 1003A converted to "B". Possibly a 3T22 soon.

First off: I agree with storm XT22s are loud but not like ground rumbling loud... Iirc the 2t22 and stl-10 are at the same db level... Or maybe the 2t22 and the model 5... The stl-10 and model 5 had a 1 db difference last I checked. Anyways they are loud enough to hear them but honestly... Even though they were close... I didn't cringe at any of them. That ground mounted 2T22 however...
Own and love a Thunderbolt 1000 and a Model 5.

I have many hobbies and interests. And I love them all.
