better than any 2001 that replaces it

@MegaCophater It's not muted. There is a towel sitting in the horn but it's not even blocking 1/4th of the opening. It wouldn't be worth it to drag all the stuff out there again and do it without the towel in it. It wouldn't sound any different.

i love this siren while doing alternate wail

Glad to see you are somewhat back on your feet! Thanks for doing the video!

That’s some serious ear protection right there, it’s so loud the microphone sound like it’s being blown into.

Yeah. I got those at a military surplus store. They were new in the box. They made the model 5 i tested easy to tolerate even though I could feel my insides moving around when I ran that thing. Running the thunderbolts with the small vaccum blower for air is really not horribly loud.

awesome video! love how this sounds

Probably one of my favorite signals.

i live the wind-up & the attack tone & the wind-down growl

Damn that sounded PERFECT! Spot on man!

Driving through Newberry, SC, one Saturday about noon, I heard one of these doing alternating wail. Didn't know what type of siren it was, till years later. I spotted it on top of the one of the buildings in downtown.

@LouisvilleTorn8o Another reply to this-- Without the horn it's not nearly as loud and it sounds ridiculous. I can't imagine how ridiculous it would sound with the blower running and no horn installed. I'm sure not going to go through the hassle and work to try to do that in my garage.

I remember when the town I grew up in had one of these, or a similar model of the Thunderbolt. The thing sounded fantastic even after all of the years it was in service. Then they replaced it with a Whelen WPS-2810 and things were just never the same. It just didn't have the same grunt.

Every siren in the city of Muskogee, where I live, were all thunderbolts. They replaced all of them in 2016 with 2001s, and it's really just not that interesting anymore.

Nice upgrade u made.

@vanamonde2 I've always wondered just how much louder having the horn on it makes it, and whether those distortion-like high harmonics are caused by the blower alone, or the displacement of air in the horn. Those same harmonics are definitely not there when just the chopper is running, or when a less powerful blower is used.

Nice windown! Sounds awesome!

@MegaCophater That towel isn't blocking even 1/4th of the opening. It doesn't make any difference with the sound.

love the wind up!

Very nice tone!

Why not try reading the video title? It's doing the signal named in the video title . I'm doing this manually with the RCM switch and timer. A 1003 can do a signal like this if it's set up to do it by the way.

Alternate wail is attack + fire Also known as wail + hi lo.

nice video i like the alternate wail signal

Interesting! Is there an established standard as to what an alternate wail would warn of?

Dude. How very Badass. . .

3 videos of a thunderbolt doing alternate wail... more to come?

0:39 sounded just like the richland center thunderbolt 1003 doing hi-lo

How loud would that thing be if you took the horn off of it and ran it with the single phase Thunderbolt blower? Would it still be too loud for your neighbors?

nice thunderbolt

Very cool

Well. It sounds good.

@LouisvilleTorn8o I don't know what the point of doing that would be.

i miss that thunderbolt

Thunderbolts don't do hi lo on the wind down. Wind up: hi lo. Wind down: Solenoids open

I don't have anywhere to do that. The siren is supposed to be going to Georgia to be installed and put back into service. When that happens I'll get a video of it.
