Possibly STH-10 maybe a 3t22?

Sounds like a Thunderbolt 1000 with an XT22B in the background.

Thunderbolt 1000... Or and I honestly think by the wind up and down I think it's the 1000's son, the model 2.

I always wondered what that siren was.

I keep hearing recordings of it all over youtube and such. I think the wind down is too short to be a T-bolt 1000. I think it may be an artificial sound effect.

I always wondered about that one too. I figured it was a model 2, considering how much it sounds like this recording. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukTrWxIURe4
It was used in the song Escape by Metallica http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRKwa4vWRdQ, which is from their 1984 album Ride the Lightning so it's definitely far from new. This recording/synth also reminds me of this Tbolt 1000 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu8aqHbhcLE The sound of this recording/synth has a weird "nails on chalkboard" effect for me, it's one of the only siren sounds I find even remotely scary.

I think it is a synth. I do not think any siren alone can produce that noise, not even a dual tone siren I know of. The wind down is too short for a Tbolt 1000, and it seems heavilly edited.

It most definitely doesn't sound dual tone, unless you're referring to the xt22 at the end.

It is most definatley a synth though. I do not think sirens can naturally sound like that. It could be a synth using the model 2 as a base, but I do not think it is a real siren, at least not entirley.
