    For mechanical sirens, sound does come out the front. In a mechanical siren like the one you have there, it looks like it's forcing the air out the sides with centripetal(centrifugal?) force, and then shutting off the outlets, creating pressure waves on both sides of those holes, which makes sound come out both the holes, and out the front.

    Actually some sound does come out of the intake, not much, but a little bit. Its the reason why the 3rd gen ACA Allertor 125 had a larger intake cone then previous generations. Its to preject thevsound more efficiently.

    That huge speaker he pulled out is called a, "Atlas Speaker". There are two kinds. The dual driver and the single driver. They would usually be found on the, Federal Signal E.O.W.S. series sirens. The E.O.W.S. "SiraTone" controllers would have "amplifiers" which amplify the sound coming out of the speaker. The rotating E.O.W.S. sirens "408,612,816" would have 4,6,8 dual dual driver speakers facing one way. When the siren activates, the speakers would rotate on a big box. The non-rotating E.O.W.S. sirens "1212" would have 12 single driver speakers facing all ways. There are 6 sides with 2 speakers. The E.O.W.S. 1212 prototype (115) has different speakers but acts similar to the normal 1212. All E.O.W.S. sirens have been discontinued.

    The thunderbolt 1000 is unique because of the blower thing that it has. It has 1 port instead of the same amount as the chopper and instead of being quiet at low notes, it's actually loud as hell even at low frequencies. The ACA Hurricane is the same sort of system but the thunderbolt is better due to adjustable pitches, multiple blowers, easier to work on and actually with it's 5M blower, it is louder than the hurricane as a single tone. (Dual tone is about equal or slightly less.)

    Also the fact that the t bolt is VERY editable. You can change the top pitch of it, change the rotation speed, even turn off the rotator completely :-D I don't think the hurricane was that changeable. NO mechanical siren was. And if it was a 1003, you can even change the damper timing for the hi lo. The standard timing is a half second on high, and a half second on low. I remember a while back seeing a video on here were a guy had his T bolt set to do 1 second on high and one second on low. So the T bolt is probably the most customisable siren ever :-D

    If Jessica likes loud, obnoxious noises, she should love the sound of town fire whistles!!! Those things make tornado sirens seem like a trumpet solo for a high school band!! I'm originally from MA, and there was a fire whistle in every town. Our fire whistle went off routinely at noon, 5pm, and at either 9pm or 10pm for curfew. For an ambulance it went off once, for school cancellations it went off twice then twice again, for auxiliary fires it went off five times twice, and for local fires it first blew three times and then blew the box number (for example, Box 57 would be five blows followed by seven more blows) three times in succession. To make matters worse, the damn whistle was an eerie and terrifying sound that made your teeth rattle and your bones turn cold. Worse than anything, this horrid whistle would blow whenever there was a fire, including the wee hours of the morning - and, trust me, it was NOT a sound that you want to be awakened by at 4AM!!

    The mechanical siren is a rather simple concept. The frequency of the sound it puts out is equal to the number of rotations per second times the number of holes around the side. A siren with 11 holes that rotates at 40rps will produce a sound of 440Hz, which is standard concert A.

    @RubertaLang second sequel: As to why most of the video are starring Chris Boden, maybe that's because he is one of the few people of that thing that is doing it fulltime? Quite frankly, Paul Kidwell gets to be the explaining one, or on the cnc equipment, Rick, etc, but they are not there full time, Chris is. Do you watch the vlog that is the behind the scenes of this? In it, Moose, and other people of the staff explain what they do...
