Thunderbolt 1000T Close up

[kswx29]

I have a ton of old siren videos that were posted on the old board, that I saved. I have decided to create a youtube account (Don't want to post them on mine) and put them on a youtube account called: sirensrus ...kina like Sirens 'R Us...(had to come up with something.) Anyway, here is the first one (Will upload some later)...a Thunderbolt 1000T close up doing a 3 minute Alert, I believe it is somewhere in Michigan.

Another Thunderbolt with an unusually slow wind-down. Great recording.

It has a noticeable hiccup on the wind down after the blower shuts off. I notice many Thunderbolts suffer from that

[holler]

Great audio of the blower, how loud is it (blower) in person?

It was. That siren was in a small park at Masonic Blvd. & Kelly Rd. in Fraser. It was replaced by a 2001-SRNB sometime in the last year or so.

Did you create the video posted above?

Notice that this TBolt doesn't have the same harmonics as normal TBolts. This is common in most slow wind-down TBolts I've heard. Also, the wind-down gets faster when the blower shuts off.

nope. I think it was this guy, but it was on an older incarnation of this board and I can't find the post.

honestly I think that has a lot to do with the recording location. in the video we're talking about, he was standing pretty close to the base of the pole the siren's mounted on.

real loud. I've driven past the Harper Woods 1000T's that EL1998P71 recorded, and you can easily hear the blower when you're somewhat close to it. It helps that you are closer to the base of the pole, therefore the siren isn't "beaming" sound right at you.

Actually, when the blower is running by itself, it's much softer for some reason. I guess that the air from the chopper amplifies the blower's sound, just as the air from the blower amplifies the sound of the chopper.

About the different harmonics, I've personally heard some slow wind-down TBolts from about a mile away, and at least one of them definitely had different harmonics than regular TBolts. The one that Ben1003 recorded has very similar harmonics.
