Matteson, IL 2001-SRNB Tornado Siren

[Tabby266]

They need to do this with the 2001:

- improve the tone

-improve build quality

-figure out why the hell they last for such a short time and like to have mechanical faults

[CoolBalla15]

That's very true. Thanks for the comment.

Great sounding 2001-SRNB, Brandon. :)

Love the quality.

[CoolBalla15]

Thanks, Evan. :)

[matteng1997]

Im sorry they are doing this to your videos! I like it!

[CoolBalla15]

I just hope that hacker doesn't thumb down this vid anymore. T-That hacker needs to be permanently banned. Thanks for the comment, btw. :)

I haven't really been fond of this siren model's logo as I feel it's too big so I don't mind that you aren't recording it. Video quality is excellent too.

[CoolBalla15]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, most SRNBs have the large FS logo.

[97Siren]

was the siren here when you moved?

[CoolBalla15]

I don't think it was there when I moved here in 2003. I think it did get installed in 2005. It got moved next to the water tower last year, though.

@CoolBalla15 i know a hackers got into this

[CoolBalla15]

It's the same hackers that did this to you.

[davidlee110]

@CoolBalla15 yes

but they make rude comments and rates

[CoolBalla15]

Someone is hacking their accounts just to bother us. I mean, this video doesn't deserve to be downrated. But if I see more hackers thumbing it down, it's being reuploaded immediately.

If Federal Signal first used that big FS logo on 2001s in 2005, then the chances are this siren could have been installed in 2005.

[CoolBalla15]

You're probably right. Thanks for the comment.

[thecompanycar]

I believe Federal started putting the large logo on the cone in 2005. That's when I first saw them like that.

[CoolBalla15]

That's very true. Thanks for telling me.

[garyhstorms09]

one other comment couldy maybe go to the Emergency Management office and say could you sound the sirens for one minute in Alert and Attack and i hope they say yes both cities of Minneapolis MN and St Paul MN test thier sirens for one minute of Alert than one minute of rest than one Minute of Attack i wish they would do that in your area and i can't wait till next month because April is the only month where there are three Tests one the monthy test and two weeks later two Tornado Drills oh yeah

[CoolBalla15]

Thanks for the comment. I'm hoping that you can a video of the sirens going off when that time comes. :)

[kdksiren]

Even though it was a short test, it still sounds very strong. I wish they did the attack test here.

[CoolBalla15]

Thanks for the comment. That's very true.

[chevyloverguy1]

they only test ours here for 20 seconds i think. it sucks. so don't feel bad

[CoolBalla15]

Yeah, but they test monthly over here. They shouldn't be testing short during monthly.

[chevyloverguy1]

@CoolBalla15 OH!! now i get you. They should be testing each signal for atleast 1 minute then

[CoolBalla15]

They used to do that in 2007. They need to go back to doing that.

[carexpertandy]

Awesome Brandon! She sounds better than ever!

[CoolBalla15]

I agree. I'm glad it's fixed.

[railfan95]

Great Video Brandon.

[CoolBalla15]

Thanks. :)

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Great video, Brandon! Does Matteson test weekly?

[CoolBalla15]

Thanks for the comment. They test monthly.

[JustInn014]

Great video. :)

[CoolBalla15]

Thanks, Justin.

[garyhstorms09]

How does Chicago test thier sirens do the city test in Alert and Attack too

[CoolBalla15]

Thanks for the comment. Chicago only tests for 30 seconds. I'm thinking Attack signal only, though.

[Siren1000T1]

Its very sad how Matteson tests so short. I wish they could do a better job on testing their sirens including Chicago. Great video BTW!

[CoolBalla15]

Thanks for the comment, Dan. I agree big time. I used to love how they tested the sirens back in 2007. But now, they test too short, which is ridiculous. They need to go back to testing them long. Seriously.
