I noticed that too. Perhaps the term "alert" is more public-friendly than "attack..." Exactly. Since most people don't know siren tone terminology, alert sounds much more generic and less "We're all gonna die". As I said before, I heard one test when I was there last s...

There was a whole topic about those Whelens on this very forum last year. If you could find it, it has more pictures and explains what they are for.

Look, I don't want to call anyone here wrong or seriously overstep my bounds, but when the city website says "alert tone", they don't mean it the way we do. I've been there and heard the test. It's not "alert" like we know it, a steady tone. It's a recording of an STL-10 in attac...

I highly doubt it, for the simple reason that I've never heard of Israel having anything but HLS pneumatic sirens and Hormann electronic sirens. I believe that it's the HLS sirens you're hearing in this video.

I think there's a video of another rotating HOR somewhere else on YouTube. I think it was at a museum in MA, and I think it was also a Super Sirex, but it was a single tone unit. If I remember right, it had 9 ports. Well, it was indeed in Holyoke, MA, and it was the dual-headed rotating kind of HOR...

Sirenmike1, thank you for this information. I am in fact very much aware of the Town Hall STL-10, having taken several pictures of it in the past...one of the teachers at my school, who grew up in West Hartford, remembers hearing it sound back in the day. I'll check out that one on the Norfeldt scho...

Unfortunately, I won't be able to do anything about, since those towns are nowhere near where I live and I can't exactly get my parents to go view a siren test...

All right, thanks. I thought it appeared to have three shroud-thingys (not quite sure what the proper term is) rather than two, which would suggest it was a Model 2 and not a Model 5. But we'll see. Well, today, I was in Unionville, just sitting at the traffic light at the junction of routes 4 and 1...

Well, in the meantime, moving away from Hartford Tbolts, here's a great new discovery I made using Google Maps. I was just wandering around West Hartford on Google Maps, taking a look at Wolcott Street. I saw a school, and interestingly enough, its driveway had street view too. So in I went, and I s...

Ah, there you are, it's good that you found my thread promptly. Perhaps you could list where some of the Hartford Tbolts are that I haven't mentioned yet.
