Mysterious Siren in South Korea

Sat Sep 23, 2023 9:15 pm

I was hunting in South Korea and found this: https://www.google.com/maps/@36.5370885 ... ?entry=ttu

Anyone know what it is?

I do not know if its a siren I am assuming since its in a good spot to be a siren, If it isnt a siren. I am sorry I thought It was.

Here's another view, looks like a hell of a lot of horns all stacked together.

It doesn't look like any siren I've seen, but that doesn't mean it isn't one.

There is a video of an air raid siren test in South Korea, and from what I remember it sounded more of a Wandel&Goltermann. The distinctive horns this one has, looks like a WandelGoltermann K-SE.

Here it is what it sounds like when its sounding:

Germany and I suppose Switzerland too has had a number of these dotted around their countries. South Korea supposedly got an order of these in for the system because of North Korea.

EDIT: After finding a specific model to get the wattage of each horn, a K-SE 600 sports 4, meaning it uses 150W drivers. There's 24 in that streetview so it's a W&G K-SE 3600 surely.
