Other notes: Since Connor ended up staying home on this cold and windy Wednesday, I figured it would be a good time to finally record another siren test in my hometown. I decided to just do one of the 2750's that's close to my house, although I did plant my audio recorders at a few of their newer 2905's to see if they were hooked up yet and would work for this test. All of them are indeed hooked up and working, although one of them seemed to have somehow malfunctioned or missed some tones. By complete coincidence, ‪@fortecstar3‬ was actually recording that very siren on this exact day, so I'll link his video below so that you guys can see what all happened there. This siren was not very loud at all, but yet I could still somehow feel the ground shaking a little during the alert. Just after the first voice announcement, there was a pretty strong wind gust that came through, which unfortunately made my tight shot drift. For a few seconds the top of the siren actually went out of frame, so I switched it to the wide shot during that moment. Thankfully though, after the gust it drifted the other way enough to have all of the siren back in the frame and it stayed that way for the rest of the video. I also decided to try using one of Connor's old decibel meters for this test since mine seems to have been reading low at the sirens we've gone to in recent months. Enjoy!
