Whats that hissing noise.

[dillonrockband]

@97Siren I think that's the blower air leaking out.

I like the Doppler effect when you stopped. Great video

[dillonrockband]

@ironike11 what is the Doppler effect? I am assuming it is like when a car horn goes by and gets lower pitched as it passes?

[ironike11]

@dillonrockband Exactly. I think when you stop, the pitch got lower sounding to, but it's really when you pass something.

[dillonrockband]

@ironike11 Ahhhh NOW i see, I've been wondering about that for awhile. On the way to this siren, we passed a Whelen vortex that was going off and the tone dropped a whole note. Thanks for the info!

i know this has something to do w the sound and direction of the siren....

but @ 0:31-0:33 AND

0:46-0:48

Why is there a humming sound?

[dahoss53]

that siren is about 12 years old i live by that one and most of the older ones have been replaced by the whelen
