What is THE best siren in your opinion?

[q2bman]

ya the Timberwolfe's db rateing has to be 100 inches not feet. That thing is tiny compaired to the Q. The rotor and stator is smaller hince less sound pressure levels.

apparently timberwolf went out of buisness

What is difference between 1000T and T1000?

I question Timberwolf's dB output accuracy.
How can they do it with 1/4 amperage draw of Q?

Does JMEV greatly exaggerate the Q's current draw as 250 amps?

By T1000 (T-1000) he means Thunderbolt or T-bolt 1000.

And I'm sure you know the difference between a 1000T and 1000.

Vehicle siren: Federal Q

Outdoor warning siren: Thunderbolt 1003 or 3T22

[Whelen Rules]

Outdoor: Whelen Vortex or any Whelen, 2t22, or T-128

EV: Q2B, Whelens, FS Unitrol, and PA 300

That recording of a Federal 77 Doubletone running on AC was moved to http://www.airraidsirens.com/mp3/y2ksiren.mp3
Personally I like the sound of that siren on AC. You could put in a diode on one side of it to run it half-wave...I'd like to hear if it affects the windup speed.

By T1000 (T-1000) he means Thunderbolt or T-bolt 1000.

And I'm sure you know the difference between a 1000T and 1000.

Well, if I did, I forgot.
Could you please tell me?
I do get these things mixed up.
Is there a site which has them all listed and identified?

Vehicle siren: Federal Q

Outdoor warning siren: Thunderbolt 1003 or 3T22

T-1003 means it can do three warnings Wail, Steady, Hi-Lo -using valves to open and close the openings from the dual-tone chopper?

That and the 3t22 doing hi-lo during run-up is the most spooky siren sound I have ever heard.

The 2t22 is the most frightening looking siren I recall seeing as a child.
Even today, as an adult who understands it's "megaphones", it still looks kind of evil.

[Conky 2000]

I love dual-tone Thunderbolts (Robert, 1000T is dual-tone, and 1000 or T1000 is single-tone) and P-50's. Best horn: Gamewell Diaphone. Best vehicle siren: I dunno. Maybe FS PA-300?

[Shinkansen]

Hmm... Well, as far as vehicle sirens go, I'd say either the E-Q2B, or the Whelen Executor.

[Jim_Ferer]

For vehicle sirens, I'd pick the Japanese siren Q2Bman found and posted a video of:

Best tone I've heard.
