Schaumburg Illinois RM-130

Here's an RM-130 in Scahumburg Illinois. This siren is right next to the Scaumburg flyers water tower and can be seen from the Elgin-Ohare express way. This siren surprisingly first did a long attack signal. It seems rare to see an RM-130 perform the attack signal. Then it does a steady alert with no pause between the two test modes. The front of it is quite fierce looking. You can really see it.
This is the only RM-130 I know of that's in Schaumburg Illinois. There are neighboring towns that have them though. There is also a dual-toned P-15 in Scahumburg as well. Those are all the ones I've seen in this town so far. I'm yet to locate more.
ENJOY! Recorded January 5, 2010.

anyone know of the siren by corpus christy church (we drive by there sometimes) or the one on Lawrence off of Gary? (by the Meyers?)

[DasMidnightDrifter]

It's just like a 2001, only WAY more pleasant sounding. :D

[DasMidnightDrifter]

It kind of sounds like what a Model 2 would sound like if its rotor wasn't so freaking tiny. XD

Are you around here? Because I see videos of sirens that I see sometimes when I pass there.

[John Porter]

@loryr405, you should check it out. ) Have you seen the siren at the Schaumburg golf course?

[Shannon Rees]

no I haven't seen it

[John Porter]

@lory405, no. I was talking about a T-135, you know the really big sirens. It is by a different water tower, and is on the side that nieghbors Hoffman Estates. The water towet says Schaumburg. I do have a video of that siren by the Super Target. Have you seen it yet? I

[Shannon Rees]

Yeah

Well, about every p-15 and rm's look identical. And the siren you were talking about that's about 100-200 ft from a water tower, were you talking about one by a Super Target, and across the street from some townhouses?
