  • When do they test it?

  • maybe this is there tone to alert us of alien invasions.

  • I'm mad cause that the fact is that my town needs one insteed of a piece of crap

  • aws... when i used to live in my old town this church would always play this </3 i'd hear it every day at 5

  • Somebody go get that!!...... Got dammit somebody playing with the doorbell again!

  • I would probably confuse this with someone at the door.

  • Id be checking my clock.. my clock makes that tune...

  • close encounters of the third kind :D:D

  • I wouldn't mind a tornado, if at least that siren goes off :D

  • this is strange, but i heard this exact same music and exact same spacing between each chime where theirs no tornadoes! im scared now!

    and what i just heard could not be a clock because no clock can be that loud.

  • like the tone

  • wasn't this one "encounters of the 3rd kind" ???

  • @ore83 Nah, the one in the movie was way different.

  • i want this as my door bell :D

  • O, Christmas tree O Christmas tree. A TORNADO IS COMING! Please don't be sad, while my music play. Turn that frown into a happy face. O Christmas tree O Christmas tree. A TORNADO IS COMING!

  • 4 times- lucky SOB

  • LOl this should make a great Tornato siren LOL

  • I could do with a few of these sirens in my school :P We don't have any LOL! *WOOOOOOO!!!!* Alright, kids, Next lesson! xD

  • I used to hear weird music outside that sounded like it was far away when I was like six at my old house. Maybe we had some kind of siren testing with music like this.

  • omg and i thought dutch sirens where gay....

  • I think this is funny. I never heard of Tornado Sirens sounding like a doorbell or clock. Kinda cute.

  • I WOULD LIKE THIS AS MY DOORBELL plz! :D

  • so would i

    i would even like a doorbell! :D

  • @StarwolfTsuname HAHA!! Use that instead, with the same volume, and put it at your door. when a bad guy comes, scare him to death!!! HAHAHA

  • They call THIS a warning siren? Sounds more like a loud doorbell. Who's really going to take a friendly chime like that seriously? If they really want to get people to pay attention, they should use one of the loud wailing sirens. Something like a Thunderbolt 1000. This siren is a stupid bad joke and should be scraped!

  • In some places the sirens go off at noon every day like this.

  • @Timbrock1000 You know, Fed signal makes this and the thunderbolt *cough*made*cough*

  • @Timbrock1000 well, on the news channel whenever we get a warning of a storm or somtinwhere i live, there is a fragment of the chime playing twice and then a bar appears on the screen saying what is going on. so were used to happy music taken so seriously where i live. cya ;)

  • lol

  • Is this a late version or special edition EOWS 612 or something? Because all the Westminster chimes I've heard on 612s sound different from this.

  • It do sounds like a Doorbell, a clock or even a Train station speak.. BUT OVAH 9000 TIMES LOUDER!!!

  • My favorite song! I don't know just how useful that would be for saying "tornado warning," though. I personally would be like, "That's pretty!" and keep lounging in my armchair until the tornado came crashing through my wall.

  • I rofl'd

  • Bwahaha, thanks! ;D I like making people laugh with my comments.

  • That was supposed to be funny. x_x

  • Comment removed

  • original is the big-ben sound

  • this sounds like my clock

  • Sounds like my doorbell...

  • souds like a train station speak!!

  • It's a test tone.

  • Wow..... talk about your oversized and dreadfully distorted doorbell.... awesome :D

  • Is it just me, Or are they playing a song? I like it even though it's Ear-Rape!

  • Our local sirens are tested every day at noon by firing off the Westminster chimes. Scared the hell out of me when they went off for a real live tornado a couple of years ago, but I was glad they worked.

  • i guess they try to make the tornado seem peaceful

  • @richrox21 LMAO

  • @richrox21  It seems cooler when it isn't so calming

  • @richrox21 its for the church

  • @richrox21 their probbly trying to get people not to panic

  • @dalgodo765 Lmao, i'd shit my pants if I heard a tornado siren.

  • Sounds like our breakfast gong @ work.

  • what is the purpose of this siren?

  • Back Then, The Westminster chimes were used to signal people that the emergency situation is over and therefore it is all clear to resume normal activities.

  • hahaha oh hang on sum1s at the door herd the door bell

  • hold on i have to answer my door

  • hmm

  • This is the modulater chime

  • EOWS 612 > Modulator

    Modulator used the EOWS chimes.

  • Very... Soothing. Relaxing kind of. Wail mode would probably be scary though. I'm have an obsession with bells, sirens and anywhere in between. I know types of chimes and modes of sirens.

  • this is the cheeriest siren i have ever heard. haha

    as opposed to its eerie counterparts that scare the crap out of me.

  • That's the bloody sounds my church clocktower makes

  • so is it like a grandfather clock? is that the purpose of it?

  • just imagine a cheery grandpa clock all in one.....now THAT scares the crap out of me.

  • sounds like a grandpa clock kinda

  • holy crap thats funny!!!

  • that is really cool

  • Now all they need to do is to play a hevy metal song over that thing and it will be perfect!

  • Sounds like my door bell

  • myne 2:)

  • there was exactly 32 chimes

  • I think that might have been a bus between the tones around 0:22 & 0:23

  • the siren sounds like a ice cream truck LOL

  • lol that wuz funny!!

  • It sounds like Close Encounters

  • bloody oath

  • I started this video and I thought my door bell was going off.... That is a very strange tone. Here in NC, the fire department sirens go off but much faster whale.

  • it the all clear sound

  • No. It isn't. It's just the Westminister chime.

  • sounds like our school bell

  • why do they test in these kind of signals?

    does it sound like this when there is a tornado warning?

    Our eows use to do the westminster chime always at noon, and at 5:00 pm.

    but it always would wail when their was a tornado warning. sometimes We use to have 2 eows sirens but both are gone. the other ran an alternate wail.

    just like the one in the video Livonia, MI Sheldon Park EOWS-612 Alternate Wail Signal Test 11-3-07.

  • they use the chime for tests to make sure the siren is running properly but also because they dont want to scare anyone so they use the chime and the y use the wail for tornados

  • sounds like my old door bell

  • LMAO!!

    i would so be a ice cream..girl.:]

  • I still dont understand why you sent me this.. xD

  • It is a tornado siren but it sounds like the music on a ice cream truck. XD

  • O My GOD you just gave me the greatest idea in the world if i were an iceram man i would have one of these on my truck hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah­ahahhaha omg

  • are they 6 big speakers or something else to make em so loud

  • yes there is

  • um. EOWS*612's do different notes or whatever you wanna call it and it sounds different. no offence but its true

  • i thnk it is the error snigle

  • that means that its ok to come out. we have that in my county.

  • IS this real of over done?

  • reak

  • When a siren has lost it's purpose! lol

  • MUM I WILL GET THE DOOR

  • lol so funneh!

  • the EOWS* 612 is definitley the best electronic siren ever made, then the 1212, then the modulator. All whelens other than the 3016 suck, and wow. Don't even mention ATI's.

  • Hehe, just noticed, this 612 has the modulator soundcard. =o

  • Nope. Just the pre-MCP control card. This and all of their 612s in town use the controls that were produced between the original controls and the MCP.

  • Our town has the same siren, they played this song christmas day at 12:00

  • MY doorbell

  • 'tis the Westminster Chimes. ;) this siren sounds like it's tone generator has a glitch

  • My bad! it's just the video is clipped on the first sound and then repeated that clip, for some reason

  • They should play that on christmas at 12:00 am LOL!

  • Or have it play an assortment of Christmas carols. But that might offend non-Christians, unless they also play songs for Hanukkah, and whatever they call the Muslim holiday.

  • In my opinion, the EOWS 612 looks like a 3-stack of breast pumps.

  • Hey! That's my line!

  • OMFG ITS NOON! RUN FOR COVER!

  • lol thats the same chime that signals the end of every class at my old high school

  • I WANT THAT SO BAD

  • LMAO LOL OMG thats is kick ass IS THE DIESEL TRUCK PART OF THE SOUND

  • ROFL!!!

  • someone answer the door! lol

  • hmmmmm answering a siren lol

  • Modulator Westminster Chimes on an EOWS...?

  • i can use this as a doorbell and push the button and scare the living crap out of my neighbors.

  • LOL i never knew that tone was for a Tornado warning.

  • wesminster WOW!

  • Cuyahoga County's Sirens test monthly and brookpark used to have more than 3 EOWS Sirens but are all now Federal Signal 2001's.

  • I grew up in Parma Heights and I always remember seeing the EOWS that was on West 130th in Brook Park.

  • yeah i have seen that too i think its cool

  • Is is tested weekly or mounthly?

  • weekly

  • Sounds like the clock in my family room.

  • dats my doorbell

  • They use that sound just for the test. and the wail sound for the actual alert for tornadoes. its electronic speakers so pretty much any type of sound could through that

  • what model is that?

    and is there a reason for those chimes?

  • EOWS 612

    Chimes are for testing only

  • pretty sure this is just the testing siren so nobody freaks out...some cities use this tone as an all clear siren I believe.

  • That as a tornado siren??

  • That's not our tornado siren, idk what that is actually, i hear it a lot though, so maybe they just test them that way so people don't get freaked out..haha...

  • i think that was my doorbell... why would they have that as a siren? :S

  • is it the on by the faire grounds in wch

  • No its off of US 62

  • i live in wch

  • hey that sounds like my doorbell

  • Yeah, like mine too!

  • is church letting out

  • But.... who the hell knows thats a tornado warning? every1 is going to open the door and say: ,,Damn kids -.-''

  • Its my doorbell, i got bad ears!

  • now this would make a frikin good car alarm.!

  • like a GIGANTIC doorbell.

  • sounds like my doorbell

  • Sounds like what would come out of a cultured "Close Encounters" spaceship. Shatters glass and everything.

  • Id Love to put those high powered speakers in my Camry Le and play some tunes through them,they would be even louder than my Tweeter's.

  • Haha, this is the bell for people that have problem with their ears !

  • I know, and to whoever marked this as spam... Come on?
