They also have some 3016's, both single and dual tone. The high note on the 3016 in this video sounds a bit louder than the low note. I'm thinking that either some of the drivers are bad, or the tone card is starting to go out. They sound Wail for a tornado warning, and Whoop for the all clear.

I could also hear a couple of Thunderbolts at the very end. I'm thinking that those belong to another town.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that a WS-2016 is plainly visible at the end of the video. On that note, I guess I had no idea Aurora had any.

I will admit...the mix of the single and dual toned Whelens in that video is eerie as hell. I wouldn't want to hear that on doomsday!

Those are probably Denver's. Denver itself (excluding Aurora and other suburbs) has around 70 mechanical sirens, made up of mostly thunderbolts, 2001s, thunderbeams, SD-10s, and a few model 3/5s, a 3T22 and a 2T22.

These appear to be DSA's. They are angled. Watch the video when the guys actually walk up to the siren.

it's a Whelen alright. WS 2000s can be angled like that as well. It's one of those unknown WS 2000 series with 5 arrays instead of 4 (WS-2020?).
