@megs905 Whats with these "thumbs up for/if" comments? They're pointless. And there's NO trace of sirens in my hometown (I live in the UK). :( I did get to see one in Hyde Park though.
@Tabby266 an actually some sirenz are activated by IP(internet protocol) or by a VHF or UHF radio or summit lik that of a 2-way radio sys (walkie talkie)
i really wanna know what that sound is at 0:51 is it the controller paging th siren 2 go off B.T.W. ive noticed that this dosent happen with sirens like the T-Bolt thanx in advance
@djkid9 that is the acctication code. the only reason the thunderbolt (or any mecanical sirens) is because the sound is electronic. if it had seacker drivers it would do it.
@scienceboy639 partly correct but its only seems to be whelens that actually broardcast the tones all the time i know the modulator does it when it cant understad the code :)
@Droideka133 it's apart of the Millstone nuclear power plant's old siren system. The WS-2012 seen in the video was the 2nd smallest in the non rotational WS-2000 series. The WS-2008 was the smallest with 4 rows of 2 speakers at 800watts max (100w drivers per speaker). East Lyme has several sirens, mostly WS-2016s, which are being replaced in the entire system by WPS 2910s, which maybe fully operational by now.
thank you for posting this video. I always wondered if Millstone did attack or wail along with alert for their tests (all people have told me was an "up and down sound"). Reminds me of CT Yankee's annual tests (alert only). oddly our WS 2008s (2 installed, 4 others not yet installed) do a 1050hz BEEEEEEEP! for 3 seconds before going into voice (also done live) and don't POP! before the announcment (they sure do after). Also the DTMF is not boradcast over the sirens, just over the radios.
Someone needs new FS UV controllers. lol

I also want to know if that was a real woman talking.
LittleItalianGal33 2 years ago
How come the speaker drivers made that horrible bang when they cut on and off like that? Help me understand.
LittleItalianGal33 2 years ago
Can anyone tell me why there was a loud bang at the start of the siren test?
LittleItalianGal33 2 years ago
Why was there also a bang at the end of the siren test?
LittleItalianGal33 2 years ago
The speakers are turning on and off. It is a real girl talking.

rhett443 2 years ago
it was the speaker drivers cutting on. They usually pop only when the drivers cut off.
