Doesn't the P-50 have a different wind-up? From what I heard on American Signal's site it sounds different than what you can hear in that T-135 video.

Nope. Like mentioned before, it is the same siren, just a different name/color.

[EOWS 612]

Just because it has 273 in it's name does not mean it has 273 decibals.
Also, it would probaly be ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!! Let's start two lists, one for mech. sirens(2001, Hurricane, Thunderbeam, Etc.), and one for electric sirens(Whelens, EOWS, Modulaters).

I believe that anything above 193(?) dB is impossible because of the compression dynamics of air.
Good idea about mechanical siren lists because I have no interest in "speaker sirens". Can't understand why anyone has interest in electronic sirens.

What is wrong with electronic sirens? Except for a select few, most electronic sirens are very interesting.
