Other notes: While we were in Ossian recording the Model 7, I decided to get an ambiance with one of my audio recorders of both sirens in this town doing their noon whistle. I planted the recorder closer to the Model 2 than to the 7, so it winds up a few seconds before the 7 does, although it winds down only about a second before the 7. So it sounds like the 2 went off for a bit longer than the 7 did on this day, interestingly enough. Regardless, both sirens sound pretty cool together. The T-128 on the southwest side of town does not do noon blasts; I believe it's only tested during Indiana SWA as Wells County does not test their sirens regularly. Enjoy!
