[MotocrossXtrem09]

crank up the volume 52-1:00 u can hear 5 more thunderbolts activating it sounds Pretty Sweet sucks 2001 are popping up and there tearing down a better siren

[CHICKENNUGGETS1011]

can this particular unit be heard from downtown, because I heard this siren from coors field during the tornado warning at the rockies game

[rockbrcavs]

@CHICKENNUGGETS1011 No, this one is in the Southeast part of Denver. The Thunderbolt you could hear at Coors Field is located on top of the Federal Building in Downtown.

damn that city sounds full of thunderbolts!

[SirenArchCar]

@davisotj1 There are 29 Thunderbolts in Denver, all three types.

[turbocountry]

@SirenArchCar 29!! Damn they must like their thunderbolts. I live in Scottsbluff, NE where we have 5 and they want to go to Modulators. I bet people get scared shit less when all them thunderbolts sound. Got to be a very freaky sound lol.

[SirenArchCar]

@turbocountry Well, that's 29 Thunderbolts out of 76 sirens total. There are also Model 3s, Thunderbeams, SD-10s and 2001s.

@thunderboltlover This one is not suppose to rotate. It is still pointed in the same direction today as it did 8 months ago.

[rockbrcavs]

@thunderboltlover I got a feeling this one has had its rotator turned off. I think it is not supposed to rotate. It is still pointing in the same direction as it did 8 months ago.

RARE 0 RPM SETTING.

[hi91023]

Are thunderbolt sirens the same thing as tornado sirens? (Sorry for the stupid question)

[rockbrcavs]

@hi91023 Yes they are.

[carexpertandy]

@hi91023 Thunderbolt is the model of the siren, this isnt anything that explains what the sirens is sounded for. The Thunderbolt was made by Federal Signal

[hi91023]

@carexpertandy Yes,i know now.I am very well-knowlegded about siren now.

[hi91023]

@carexpertandy This was the first siren video i watched,I had literally thought 2001s were the only sirens. Except back then i called them tornado sirens.

[carexpertandy]

@hi91023 Probably back when I was 6, I thought Thunderbolts, P-10/15s, and Allertors were the only sirens since those were the only things I could identify as sirens. When I was about 11, I Googled tornado sirens, and found a whole bunch of different designs!

[hi91023]

@carexpertandy This is Sirenguy02 on the forum btw.

[0verload]

I love how you can hear other sirens firing up in the background too. pretty sweet!

[97Siren]

did you report this to the EMA?

[ohbobsaget22]

federal signal rules whelens suck!

[russelD9]

it sounds well healthy its a shame it did not rotate chopper level 5? oh do you know what year those thunderbolts was put in

[rockbrcavs]

I am not sure but has to be in the '50s.

[CoSirenCars]

those thunderbolts are old

[rockbrcavs]

I would hate for them to be replaced. But it is only a matter of time before they are.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Awesome sounding 1000T! Same thing happened to me too, when i recorded a 1000. Hope the Rotator is fixed. A healthy TBolt like that should be able to rotate too.

[rockbrcavs]

I agree.

[carexpertandy]

Great video! It seems to me that most schools aren't aware when their sirens aren't rotating. You might need to report it yourself.

[rockbrcavs]

Yeah, I'll try again to get a hold of the city.

[JerryMopar]

5 stars for awesome 1000T ambiance! I wonder if its something simple, like a broken belt?

[Siren1000T1]

Chopper level 5 alright! The others sound creepy in the background. Great vid!

[murrfarms]

Damn she sounds pretty healthy! Sounds like it's in an area with a good bit of other 1000Ts of all different pitches. That was an insanely good-sounding system recording from that spot, good job!

[rockbrcavs]

I agree. I am going to look up where those other ones are at. There was one somewhere behind me that I need to find.
