Re: Indianapolis Siren System

That was 9 years ago? You want to go look at a siren that got knocked over by a car and repaired 9 years ago?

Largest Siren Systems (Currently)

If something like this has been posted before, please redirect this post. I couldn’t find anything. I read an article recently that stated that Birmingham, AL has a system of 254 sirens. That number was fairly staggering to me as I thought Indianapolis’ system of 168 sirens was a lot for a city. Tha...

H.O.R.: Siro-Drone, Alert - New Palestine, Indiana

I know this has been recorded a few times before but I wanted to grab a recording before this siren crapped out. It's relatively loud and has a nice long wind-down.

More info in the video description.

Whelen Engineering: WPS-2809, Westminster Chimes - Cayuga, Indiana

Cool short test of one of the old sirens from the Newport VX plant in Newport, Indiana. There aren't a whole lot of county-wide Westminster Chimes tests so it was a cool experience.

Whelen Engineering: WPS-2902, Alert - Lake Waveland, Indiana

Montgomery County, Indiana's newest siren. This siren was installed last summer and was dedicated to a community leader who had passed away in the midst of trying to raise money for this siren. Pretty cool story. I forgot to hit record on my main camera so this was filmed from my backup camera. More...

Re: Whelen Engineering: Vortex Alert - Jamestown, Indiana

That and I'm not quite used to the immediate full volume 129db of these sirens. Surprised I didn't knock my camera over!
