So today I was wanting to record a siren so I decided to head up to excelsior and record the Erick. It wasn't loud from where I was but was still cool to hear it go off.
History on the siren: These 2 sirens were installed in the 1940s and one of them served a purpose to go off three times a day at 12PM, 6PM, and 9PM.
The top Erick goes off every day at noon and 6PM (I think) and the bottom one does not go off (to my knowledge) it is unknown if any go off on the First Wednesday tests.
