Other notes: For the first Monday of March, we decided to record this T-121 located within the Central State University campus since we had yet to hear a healthy T-121 in person. Right off the bat, we could tell this was definitely louder than the T-112 we went to last August; the horns really do make a difference. It was pretty punchy from both a distance and right underneath. I feel like it might've been fairly comparable to a T-128 facing you from standing under. My black meter read around 105 dBA from where I had my equipment set up while the orange one got 111 from roughly the same spot. They then maxed at 120.2 and 121.4 from standing right underneath. After the T-121 stops, as we were getting ready to leave, we heard the campus emergency siren system conducting its test. We had already stopped recording on our cameras well by then, so we didn't bother getting the campus system test. Enjoy!
