I honestly don't think that it's a Federal/Fedelcode 3/5/7. It's a bit too nasal in timbre. It reminds me of a YT vid of a failed xT22 sounding that turned into an ambiance recording of a nearby MARS model.

Could this be another MARS? It sounds exactly like what I just cited above. Thanks.

Took a pic of their sirens at the station located downtown a few years ago. Sharpsburg, NC:

@JasonC:
Thanks. I didn't realize Fedelcodes could sound as different from Federals as my ears led me to believe.

Sounds like a typical light-rotor Model 5 to me.

I probably have bad news; I was thru Sharpsburg approx. year & a half ago and both sirens were gone; well, the Thunderbolt was on the ground, and the other one was gone.

Took some pictures of the T-bolt, but don't remember where I put them...

Bummer.
