This is one of the Thunderbolts in O'Fallon, IL (in the process of being replaced) during a monthly test. This should be a steady signal, but the poor condition of the chopper motor (and its electrical connection) are likely leading to the undulating sound.

  • Never quite gets to full blast.... poor tbolt. Sad sounding.

  • thats sad i love t-bolts

  • Sounds like a cow going into labor.

  • Drunk thunderbolt?

  • Sounds like its crying, kind of a perfect setting for 9/11. Makes me wanna cry.

  • @cheetawolf

    What about the blower? I'm pretty sure that not many sirens, if any, are supercharged these days.

  • @freebrickproductions take a rotator form an early 2001, a model 2 chopper/motor, and their brushes. problem solved...

  • @cheetawolf

    Well, it's hard to get the parts these days. Sad, ain't it? :(

  • i think its stupid how a $20 repair cost them $30K for a POS 2001 that needs several thousand dollars in batteries every 5 years

    that money can be going for better things than a non-reliable 2001
