Soundmaster 115

[TheTrenter01]

how many of the soundmaster sirens were there all together.Before they replaced all the rest of them with 2001's

[ricofojas2011]

what rigs?.

[CL137626]

Crap, just found out that my city has one.... But they silenced it due to noise complaints... how stupid.

[misterrailroadman]

it sounds like a Federal Signal 550-at siren in Calhan Co.

[KetchupAndMustard55]

it sounds sorta like an ASC Cyclone :)

[whiteblood10]

Enemy Artillery! 

[Worcester2007]

We have two of these left in my hometown of Columbia Heights. The rest were replaced with two 2001's back in 1995. idk if they'll replace the other two.

[JustInn014]

These sirens were prone to freezing up in cold weather. A few rigs were modified to try and solve the problem. I intend on rerecording this one sometime this year.

[gerbilPROJECT]

the wind-down is awesome.

[acedrummer2590]

sadly, this siren is gone :(((

[JustInn014]

I've heard it was put back up not too long ago, but I have yet to see it myself.

[acedrummer2590]

@JustInn014 really? :D ya, hopefully ill see it then nxt time i go to my uncles house, lives nearby and we pass it on the way

[twotailedavenger]

It sounds kinda like a 2T22!

[FireAlarmMan458]

I want to see a soundmaster with the cones on it. Nice video though!

[videogamer24385]

hmmm it sounds sound like its trying to do pulsed or is that just your camera

[JustInn014]

@videogamer24385 It was trying to do pulse, but the solenoid vavle springs were too weak to keep the solenoids shut.

[superjoe87]

Will you get a video of the St. Peter T-Bolt?

[JustInn014]

@superjoe87 I tried recording it a couple weeks ago. It didn't go off.

[97Siren]

when was it removed

[JustInn014]

Autumn of last year.

[cauberallies]

Whoa. I didn't realize I left a comment saying basically the same thing two months ago. Sorry for the double post!

[TspesVladD]

Nice super Banshee.

[TheDarktemplar2012]

no......thats not a SOUNDMASTER 115, its a super banshee.

[JustInn014]

No, it is a SoundMaster 115. I have a photo of a Banshee 115, though. It looks different.

This SoundMaster is not in place anymore.

[TheDarktemplar2012]

ok your correct, but theres another vid where somd kid said that this siren IS a super banshee, for some reason.

[Tommy3stars]

wow that siren sounds similar to an ACA penetrator

[Jared1452]

Because it is 8/12 port. The ACA penetrator 50 has the same 8/12 port.

[CaptainElevator42189]

So does the Cyclone.

[JRCollinsfan]

FYI, there is a sound master at MUFD 7 in Mount Union, PA

[JustInn014]

Awesome.

Can you get a video if it going off?

[JRCollinsfan]

Type in MUFD 7 Ambulence responding.

In some of the vids you can hear it clearly and in one there are some brief shots of the siren. I live in MI and my truck is a 2500 Avalanch so because its a gas hog there's no way I can get that far.

[JustInn014]

Thank you. I will look for that video now.

Ah, I see. We have 3 other SoundMasters in Wisconsin. They are quite rare.

[JRCollinsfan]

When I first saw it, I almost fell outta my chain. Atfirst it looked like one of those elusive Dual Fedelcode sirens.

[JustInn014]

Just found the video. It does look like a SoundMaster. Great find, btw.

Yeah, I heard about those Dual Fedelcodes. I never seen any of those, though. Seen a couple 5 HP single ones, though. They're huge.

[cauberallies]

It IS in fact a dual rotor Fedelcode. I've seen and heard it in person, and the picture on the siren archive is VERY misleading. It is about the same diameter as a model 5/7, and it is undoubtedly a Federal vertical design. It definitely isn't a soundmaster. But on the bright side, the siren is just as rare.

[cauberallies]

@JustInn014

The siren is actually a dual rotor Fedelcode. I've seen and heard it in person, and I am going to be recording it in the near future as soon as I have the time. I've been talking to a firefighter from MUFD and he has permission from the chief to set it off so I can record it whenever.

[littlesirenboy]

Thanks to this video I think in my video the black siren is a Soundmaster 115

[littlesirenboy]

there is?

[JRCollinsfan]

turnsout it's a fedelecode Model 20

[lildil39485]

it kinda sounds like a p-50

[Jpressman8]

Nice video. Sound awesome.

[JustInn014]

I was 30 ft. from the siren. It could've been 130dB, in truth, at that angle.

[Tannre40V2T]

8/12 PORT!

[JustInn014]

Yes, all dual toned SoundMasters were 8/12 port.

[Tannre40V2T]

Is that a common ratio in ASC models? It really sounds like it, with the Cyclone and SD-10.

[FoamPackingPeanuts]

More of 9/12 port ratios on ASC models.

[Tannre40V2T]

To keep it short and sweet, ASC's ratios are wonderful sounds.

[Tannre40V2T]

115dB from 100 feet away. Your radio is probably 130dB right at the speakers.

[videogamer24385]

sounds like a 550AT

[SovietUoin]

sounds like a ACA P-50

[sizzlin321]

8/12 port?

[JustInn014]

Yup.

[metallicandtornadic]

sounds like an aca cyclone

[TheDONdwyk]

i used a decibel meter to see how loud my car's exhaust is and at the redline (7000rpm) it is 115 dB (its aftermarket obviously)

[zozey1231]

Sonds like a T-135!

[daniel1ksc]

This siren is the master of sounds!!!!!!

[cheetawolf]

lol

[sirenguy41]

Looks like a model 2.

[littlesirenboy]

Yeah it does, now I know what siren is on the pole mounted by our towns 3t22

[Toledo2T22]

To me it sounds like a sentry siren

[cheetawolf]

i thought these were electronic...

cool siren.

[Archon2561]

Sounds very close to the 550 siren

[RamFett]

That's exactly what I thought.

[FBHSswimmer2006]

that does sound exactly like a P-50/T-135.

[djscrizzle]

Agreed...and I'm living in a 550's shadow. sounds too much like a 550 though.

[piski125]

That sounds EXACTLY like a T-135/P-50.

[Leafblower29]

kinda sounds like bagpipes

[USRoute66]

Excellent!

[murrfarms]

Dude that is kick ass! Good job on being the first ever to record a SoundMaster! I really love how the top damper seems to be trying to close off the air intake to the top 12-port rotor.

[gildomusic]

It is? I didn't notice that at all. However, these sirens do have a history of the solenoids failing.

[Siren1000T1]

Nice job Justin! Now we can see what a SOUNDMASTER sounds like. Great job buddy!

[biggulp2000]

same

[gildomusic]

Simply amazing!

[CoolBalla15]

Awesome video, Justin! That SoundMaster 115 sounds just like a T-135/P-50!

[videogamer24385]

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
