FDNY is mandated to use electronic Q's (EQ2B) because by using the electronic Q, the sound doesn't echo as much and you can actually get a sense of direction of where it is coming from. A regular Federal Q would be too loud, would echo much more, and would not give people a sense of where the siren is coming from.
That is the Federal Signal EQ2B. FDNY puts the EQ2B on all their new apparatus. Have you even been to New York City? Sheesh! I've never heard of you, but I'm thinking that you don't know what the Federal Signal EQ2B is.
It's also called air horns

Why aren't real Q2B sirens allowed in NY? Are they too powerful or something?

What the hell kind of siren is that ? Sounds like the scream of death repeated. Very, very strange siren.

@ParisianZee EQ2B, since the FDNY isn't allowed to use the regular mechanical Q2B siren which sounds much better.
