It was a NYPD type of thing that they did so you could tell the diffrance between any other emergency vehicle that was responding besides a NYPD unit. That was also the Idea in the 1960's when they had the Pulsator siren, The FDNY and EMS had Federal Signal model 28's and the NYPD Had the P660 Pulsator.
Signal Stat is the Company that produced this Siren, I believe that SP did some Sub Contract work for Signal Stat but I am not sure. Both Signal Stat and SP are out of business for quite some time now.
Right after I wrote that comment i paused the clip and noticed that. Thats really odd, but it's still an awesome sounding siren, I always heard it in gritty new york crime movies of the 70's like Taxi Driver and Dog Day Afternoon, now I know it's specific name. Thanks for posting this.
Hello InspectahDeck718 , Yes, it's out of a NYPD 1973 Plymouth Fury, I removed it around 1980 from a wrecked 46-pct unit that a friend got from the auction. I have had this for over 30 years.
it sure was, it was the correct siren for that era

The same siren was featured in the money-delivery scene in the original Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 on the 73 Fury.

Why would they make a siren with no Wail function? The wail function is THE classic siren sound.

Yes, it is the one that they used in Death Wish.
