Very nice video.

Despite all the comments on YouTube about what a great sounding siren it is, I honestly think it sounds awful. To me, it sounds like the lower intake is totally blocked.

I have to agree. I dislike the way this siren sounds. I think they need to do something about that upper intake.

Great video. I think the upper intake is blocked as opposed to the lower. If you listen carefully to the wind-up and wind-down, you can hear a faint higher-pitched sound emitting from the siren.

All of em? your old one didn't, I'm a little concerned cause mine are single phased. seems that there are very few out there that have the right pitch. it's either too high or to low.commutator issues i guess,if i had a choice id rather it be too high.Sounds like the upper intake was blocked alittle too.....

Yes exactly, that could be part of the reason why it sounds so high pitched...

our 3T22 sounded like this. I was able to see it up close, and it has a stuck closed lower damper, and possibily a partially stuck closed upper as well. Bet this siren has both intakes obstructed.
