The Cyclone has a twelve-to-eight port-ratio.

Apparently, the Cyclone weights 900 pounds when crated, and has a height of 60" (5') with 48" (4') diameter, which makes this a huge siren.

Thanks.
I had absolutely no idea they were that large and powerful.
Without someone standing next to one, I'd have no idea of the size.

Yes the first ones and dual tone ones are Cyclones, they sound exactly the same as the ones I found on Youtube. But I have no idea what the single tone ones sound like, as I only have heard the Cyclones went off and that was over 5 years ago...

A police station in a historical town, notice the horns on the upper right hand side

And this is the same building with the single-tone siren on beside the water tank thing

The first ones are definitely Cyclones. The others are single-tone and probably Taiwanese.
I have no clue if those are custom made ACA Cyclones or if they are Taiwanese, as I have heard multiple stories about ACA shipping their sirens to other countries. That’s definitely not a regular cyclone though, as the ports are inverted and the motor is on the bottom instead of inside the cone.
