My hometown of Irving, TX has at least 15 of those sirens and they used to sound those Westminster Chimes at 12Noon everyday...until a few of those sirens in the Valley Ranch district were replaced with the 2001s.
Chimes, how strange! Having those would be a nice alternative to the boring "1st Wednesday of the month" testing of the tornado & emergency air raid sirens up here in Minnesota.
nice video and i can relate to your description. i recorded an old air raid siren and the people at the landscaping supply shop across the road were staring at me funny too lol
thanks dan! i swear people have a stearing problem its like DUH!! haven't u seen anybody take a video befor the one u heard in the background was on tod ave i think glad u liked the vid more to come
It continues to rotate because the chimes don't play until the end of the rotation.

I love how that E-flat sneaks in on the 11th note in the chime sequence (at 0:34); kind of gives the entire chord progression an interesting kink.

yeah, I got a lot of stares, even one time when I was taking apicture of a 3T22, the town cop asked what I was doing.
I said taking a picture of their towns siren, hes says "let me see!" I show him the picture & he told me to delete it at once. I did.
Then he told me to get out of town.
He went one way I slowly went the other & as soon as he was out of sight I did a u Turn & retook the picture. LOL

yeah but this was a few months after 9/11, so I can understand why he was uptight. I was trying to maintain a "normalness" to that terrible event.
