They also have some of these things. They could be a special ACA siren they made just for Taiwan, but I doubt it.

The chopper looks somewhat like an 8 port Model 5.

The Cyclone in Taiwan was an official ACA installation - no copycat. The exact Cyclone layout changed many times over the years although the motor was usually on top of the stator, hidden beneath its cone.

Sucks that no one on the board that I know of lives around there, otherwise I would see if someone could drive by there and see if the "ports" spin.

Looks like there's some kind of mesh over the openings on it:

I live in Los Angeles and see those things sticking out from the ground all the time..
Turns out they are either sewer vents, or underground shelter vents from the cold war.
They are painted the exact same color that the siren poles were painted.
I'll go up and smell it but I can confirm it's not a siren.

Any idea what siren is in this video? It sounds way too smooth to be a model 5 so I think it is probably an STH 10.

Definitely an STH-10, albeit with what sounds like quite the hiccup on startup.

[Jake_7367]

It doesn't hiccup. It must be the echo

It looks like one of those paint can sirens mostly found in Oregon. I think they are Westinghouse sirens???
