For those who want to recreate this sound, try this frequency -> 415 Hz + 565 Hz + 725 Hz

I heard one that did more of a 407hz too

Yay a recording of another tannoy type fog horn. I only know of one other, where the tannoys are built into the lighthouse tower

@Knitting Pasta: Tater Du in Cornwall and Dungeness had these incorporated into the tower. Other lighthouses that had the Tannoy type foghorn system were: Bardsey Island, South Stack, North Stack Fog Signal Station, St Bees Head, Anvil Point, Strumble Head and Lundy Island North. They were quite powerful, and went on average a total of 6 nautical miles! It's a pity they are no longer uses, I kind of like the sound. I believe that some American lighthouses had something similar to this type of foghorn, called a Stone Chance emitter, someone had a recording of it years ago but deleted their files for some reason and it sounded really weird.

I had no idea that Tannoy built systems for this application. ! But being leaders in Horn loaded PA systems. for decades, why not !

3 Years later after my comment on the frequency tone, after few research about the facility, this foghorn is NOT IN USE anymore and the "Speaker Tannoy Room" was dismantled/destroyed, he was right next to the helipad, now it's a bare concrete empty place, SHAME !!!! Only the "Engine Room" was stay in place with some minor modification, at 0:14, exhaust pipe on right of the room (next to the windows) + warning sign on door was removed. PS : I'm going to recreate this foghorn sound with real electronic hardware (Replacement of Engine, Generator, Alternators and Coders) with timer for the blast timing (on/off) and Power Amplifier, for those who are interested in this, I can share my development for free :)

Why would it need an alternator room if the signal is electric?? And what kind of alternators are those? Look like turbines to me.
@A_Bit_of_Thought 4 жыл бұрын
I'm going to guess the alternators were wound to generate the desired tones for the outside loudspeakers (emitters) in this installation. The installation probably predates reliable high powered electronic audio amplifiers.

A Bit of Thought ohh, so similar to a tone wheel. Such as that found on a B-3 Hammond organ. Fascinating

@@praestant8 The need for a local power source in case of mains going out is a given. What I was talking about is a special electric motor driven generator operating at a higher frequency to directly drive a loudspeaker.
