Re: Mystery siren in Weldon, IL

There isn't a lot of streetview for the village, but it's also difficult to find anything with Google Earth's historical map as well. The quality worsens the older you go making it difficult to find anything remotely a siren.

Re: Mysterious Siren in South Korea

There is a video of an air raid siren test in South Korea, and from what I remember it sounded more of a Wandel&Goltermann. The distinctive horns this one has, looks like a WandelGoltermann K-SE. Here it is what it sounds like when its sounding: M-bUxwiVBg4 Germany and I suppose Switzerland too ...

Found a potential new siren at Grangemouth. Btw I'm working on my own version of the UK siren map with more locations but feel free to add this to the official one
Doesn't look like one when you move further up the road.

Re: Mount Akerneset, Norway Siren Map

Telegrafia's site says 300W to 4800W. So, I guess 4 horns equate 600W meaning each horn has a 150W driver. Looks like your map contains 600W siren units and 1200W units, and can be distinguished just from the horn count on them knowing the driver wattages too. Helsem, Stranda, Linge, Geiranger = 600...

The horns look different to what ATI and ASC use so it can't be those manufacturers. Maybe the government had them commissioned through suppliers in the country but there isn't a lot to go by just from images alone.

I may be wrong, but I think there may also be a Thunderbolt in the foreground at 29:00 where it shows a missile launching.

There indeed is. Looks like a 1000/T. Also, I like how they dubbed Britain's air raid siren for the Super Sirex.

Re: Probably not a siren, but just checking

Oh, looking back in April 2009: https://www.google.com/maps/@54.8916201,-2.9452409,3a,75y,137.11h,90.44t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1swSyrp3B6VE3rnwS80nSFGg!2e0!5s20090401T000000!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu Looked nothing more than a novelty prop for the sign for a motor rewinding company.

Mystery siren in Gornji Milanovac, Bosnia & Herzegovina

Mystery_Siren_Bosnia.jpg Never seen this one before. I don't think anyone has posted this... This mystery siren located in Gornji Milanovac, Bosnia & Herzegovina for whatever reason looks almost similar to the familiar Alertronic AL-8000. This is a still capture from this report video in Bosnia...

Re: Saudi Arabian Mystery Sirens in 1991

Sorry for bumping. Curiousity got me looking into Riyadh and their systems. Mosques have call to prayers, so surely whatever is used is also used as civil defence since that video exhibited mass voice notification then their air raid alarm siren. Mosques use their minarets with their speakers. That ...

Re: UK Siren Map

Just remembered I have this account, so I've got some things to add... At least two electronic sirens at BOC Gases in Immingham - think they are Klaxon ES but can't be sure, I don't know enough about these electronic things... 53.606310, -0.158250 - six-horned bi-directional. Not visible on Street ...
