Oh yeah, Rockford definitely has sirens also. The system is a county-wide system and covers Rockford, Roscoe, Rockton, Loves Park, and everywhere in between. A few I can think of right off the top of my head would be the T-135AC/DC on the backside of Rockford College's campus, a T-128AC/DC at Harrison Ave & 8th St, and a T-135AC/DC at Thomas Jefferson High School. There are plenty more scattered about too.
There was an article in the Rockford Register Star about the first test of their new system, and explains a little more about it.

Here's a video someone took of the T-135 at Rockford College:

And the T-128 at Harrison & 8th:

And yet another T-128 at the pumping station on State St (siren was moved down the road a bit from here recently):
