I think there was a post about this already, but personally don't hate them. They are inanimate objects, machines designed for one purpose, to warn people.
Not to please anyone like us, just to do what they are designed to do. It just has to do with the fact that some people can't accept change when it comes to sirens. The fact is that the 2001 is a good siren and does what it is designed to do. Though it is higher pitched, it is louder than a Thunderbolt, more efficient, can run on batteries, lighter, smaller and there's the Equinox for anyone looking for the same siren, but lower pitch. I use the Thunderbolt for comparison because people seem to always say that it's somehow superior, when it really isn't. On the electronic sirens thing, i have no problem with Whelen's either. They have huge coverage for their size, they are definitely the way to go for electronic sirens. ATI is absolute junk though, i will give you that. "Great GPU's, Terrible Sirens"-ATI
Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.
