It looks like a North American Signal Master SI-M doesn't it a little!

@GUYM3065 This siren was shown in the original Engine 51 (the Crown) but on the show, they played an old style mechanical siren every time the Crown responded.

They were called - inter-tones, they were made because the circuitry had a " make-before-break" type of switch, it combined circuits on the board. It was like playing a synthesizer while going down the road... your partner concentrated in driving, you made the music to clear the way !!!

Right at :32 is that high pitched yelp used by Chicago PD in the movie "The Blues Brothers" Chicago chase scene. Though the movie cars mixed a duotone siren for theatrical effect; that high pitched yelp and wail.
Back in the early 80's my father was a local Fire Chief with this exact siren. And of course...he was producing those same sounds for the mid-positions between Wail & Yelp. He named one of them the "Screamer" whether this was just him or a known name I will never know

Hello PolizeiPaul, I don't know about chicago but I used to hear it a lot in the 60's and the 70's growing up in New York. All you have to do to get that tone fron it is put the selector switch between Wail & Yelp.

It is the same one from Squad 51 but not the same as the one from Enging 51. Engine 51 had a Federal Signal Q Mechanical siren.
