Live nearby. hear it every time!

Sweat video.

I have to admit that a lot of your videos have great audio. Keep up the good work.

Ah, this was the Thunderbolt I was missing! There's plenty of recordings of the other two, but not this one.

Damn I'll need to record that when I go back there

I reported to lack of rotation to the EMA... as it turns out, this siren is now privately owned. When the school sold off their building, the siren went with it. The entitled douche wanted to be paid to keep the siren online and wanted a percentage of the electricity to be paid to keep it online.

Does Muncie ever test their system for longer than 20 seconds?

Very nice!

That's a full wind up, I'd not call that a growl.

When do they test?

Ah, the one at the airport.

Awesome video. My favorite siren

Does Frankton test at the same time as Muncie? If so what time would that be?

Nice!

6M!

Nice!

sounds like the feeling when you gotta clear your throat and you say something and your voice is all gargled.

It sounds like t 128

Nice 6M on this thing! Cool video!

Wow, I didn't even realize these existed until now!

Probably not connected

Are those Whelens on digital controllers?

Nice to see you uploading again

This is the one by Burger King right?

Man you haven't uploaded in so long nice video

Warbling?

Lets hope in real life, its way louder than that.

Well, that comment was from 3 years ago, so some things have changed, but we don't have any 16V1T-B's anywhere in the system. The only battery powered siren in the system is the 2001 in Darmstadt. And the siren at the fair grounds is a 10V1T, not a 10V2T. I know my counties system kiddo, don't tell me I'm wrong because I'm not.

I think I know why that test seemed so short when I tried to record that Vortex, five months ago. The siren probably got the second activation code but not the first which would also explain the lack of the double activation.

so henderson sirens get tested friday 12:00

P 15?

Sounds kind of scary, nice job

This is awesome! I'm guessing Mt. Vernon has two systems, one for the Whelens and one for the older sirens. Reminds me of Huntingburg which also has two systems. The new ones there also do alert while the old ones do attack.

like it i am going to record a sentry 15v1t on lyod expressway weinbach AVE

@TheWeatherGuys Yeah, close to Owensboro. The siren is located on Oak Dr. by a trailer park. It didn't blast for long (like 20 seconds) and I don't remember it doing the usual double activation, but I can't prove that since the camera battery died. It was still a cool experience though.

@DSRX100 Where did you try to record? Owensboro?

Good Video!! Always loved Evansville's system, it has good coverage. I wonder if the other Sentry (the one that continues) always does that or if it is a glitch. I tried recording a Whelen Vortex the same day you recorded this but my camcorder died midway and the siren did not go on for long, I guess cause of the high wind.

@MrSciencetificsasuke Nope, that's the centrifugal switch closing back from the motor reaching a slow enough speed for the springs to close it. This is a single phase 7V8 with a 7.5hp 184T-frame Baldor motor.

Model 5s are actually quite potent, but compared to the 40v2t which you got the privilege to record it's nothing. This is a Fedelcode which means the louvers have a sharper angle and point the sound far more downwards than a normal Model 5, making this one sound far less potent.

@acahurricane1275 Yes

so its still used as a tornado siren

Sounds kinda like a 2001-SRNB, except that the rotor noise in the background is a different pitch. The wind-down is mellower than a 2001.

Very interesting, sounds like it's possibly a single phase one! It has that really non-linear windup that is a characteristic of repulsion-induction single phase motors, and it doesn't peak anywhere near what your average three phase 16 port M-10 does.

@form109 This siren has the same number as ports as the T-128. The T-128 has the same decibel rating as the 2001, but because of its lower pitch it would certainly carry further. That, and the fact that it sounds so much scarier and less annoying than the 2001 makes it a much much better siren. I LIKE the T-128, but I HATE the 2001.

Nice

Good video, reminds me of an old Model 5 I saw in Versailles, IN because of the shroud.

It almost sounds like a 2T22 winding up at first!

Model 5's always make killer echos. BTW that lower louver angle probably has a lot to do with the sould level.

thats a fedelcode model 5

Great recording, as always!
