I still think our hodgepodge of sirens here in Amarillo makes a good, chaotic ambiance.
Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.

The "Onthehill" recording is a real classic, Mike Stalnecker recorded those sirens from his fire department (Pine Grove, Pa) and wound up winning the very first warningsirens.org siren contest with that recording. I lost my copy right after they got reposted and I never got to download it again, one of the best recordings out there in my book though!

Fostoria OH the 4/5 bolt, 2 5/6 bolts, the 3012 and the Roundbacks. When everything works that is, then their ambiance is awesome

That's a cool system.
My knowledge excels on the Federal Thunderbolt siren and SiraTone EOWS sirens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Surprisingly, as far as the search bar determines, nobody has posted this one yet. Here is an ambience of downtown Cincinnati's old siren system. You can clearly hear the high pitched 1000, 4/5 port 1000T, a few additional Thunderbolts, some T-128s, a 2001 or two, and (faintly) Newport, Kentucky's Modulator 2008s running alternate wail.

P.S. Modulators, (get it?), I am sorry if this has already been posted. I just don't feel like looking through 16 pages lol.

Forgot to add this one, but I think it sounds pretty creepy. Federal Signal 2001s sounding off in Indianapolis for the tornado warning on May 22nd, 2011 (same parent storm that produced the EF-5 in Joplin.) I counted at least 5 sirens being heard winding up at the beginning

from Doerun, Georgia. Or as I prefer: "The Toluca, IL of the South". It's a small town that is 1.3 sq. mi. with 770 people. Siren wise, it has the 5 shown in the video, a Sterling M-10, and a Sentry 3v8-H
24, and not dead yet.

This video from Stonington, IL is one of my all-time favorites. How could anyone not love this ambience?

2T22 or not 2T22...THAT is the question.
