Hamilton County September 7th Outdoor Warning Siren Test

I got blasted by this thing several years ago. I was going to that thrift store for something, and just so happened to arrive at noon on the first Wednesday of the month. Gave me a new appreciation for just how load those things are!

Interesting sounding Thunderbolt. It doesn't seem the blower has much affect on the siren like it should or it could be set to high chopper level. How loud was it from your position? It is hard to tell but it kinda sounds like a 4/5 port set to chopper level 6 or 7 to me. Great video! Love the growl.

@thefandude21 Hearing the growl again it does seem the blower is operating. The chopper started then the blower kicked in.

@thefandude21 It may be due to the fact that the idiot roofers "paved" over the blower box for some unknown reason, so it's probably starving for air to draw into the blower. It's definitely not as loud as it should be, notice how long it takes for the air to build up enough after the siren starts up.

@murrfarms Interesting. Its a shame something was not done about that. Another thing that is resulting for the blower being mostly blocked off is that you can also notice that the pitch is higher on this one than one that is running correctly on chopper level 7. I noticed that the chopper running only sounds higher pitched than when the chopper and blower run together.

Sounds like the blower is not functioning with this one or it may be high up to notice it
