Yaaas even thou you'd be woken up by the sound at night XD

For those who don't know, the blower (roots blower) on the thunderbolt basically supplies air at a high volume to the siren. This does two things for it: A) It magnifies the sound, since more air is running through the chopper and B) Provides constant amounts of air during it's entire running. One problem other sirens have is that because of how they work, they get quieter when the wind down during the attack signal (the alternative high and low, also called wail now); the blower circumvents this and that is one of the most defining features of the thunderbolt. The low point in the signal, when the pitch drives down, is the one where most people recall hearing it because it carries outwards forever. High sounds penetrate, while low ones carry. The thunderbolt is only one of two sirens that were like this ACA, a competitor of Federal Signal who made the thunderbolt, made the hurricane. Together these sirens are classified as Supercharged sirens because of the roots blower that supplies the air.

Sirens are typically tested at a particular day and time, most places tend to do the first Saturday at noon, and if you hear it outside of testing time, it's probably an emergency. if an emergency happened during testing time, I guess they' switch to a different signal to indicate an emergency.

Yes he is the originator of this thread.😂

Hmmmmm, I might need one of these instead of the hand cranked one I was thinking about, I live in a pretty rural area with no sirens and a tornado came up on us about 250 yards from the house last year, and about 100 foot from my neighbor's house, so I would need something to warn my neighbors since I monitor weather 24/7 and practically never sleep.

THATS what my yard needs.

Nice video, good sound. Very nice thunderbolt.

We used to have alarms with choppers here in Sweden in the past, but nowadays we only run pneumatic horns from Kockum Sonics. Search for "Hesa Fredrik" here on YT and you will find tests of it. It's very rarely used for real situations, but the do a countrywide test run 4 times a year. It can sometimes be used for large fires or spills (there was a sulphuric acid spill in Helsingborg a couple of years ago when it was used, for example), but it's extremely rare.

I've always wondered how loud the T-bolt is without the blower running. Given I hear the relay for the chopper motor trip on and off a few times, I'd say that it's not that obnoxious without the blower!

Fromabout 70 feet away, and on top of a pole, one I measured read 87 dBA.

Ever set it off at 5:30 am right after the new neighbors move in?

“its so loud i think we have gotten deaf” *the blower not being on:*

I love it! As a kid in the 60s I would dive under the coffee table as my Dad said the commies are coming, the commies are coming! I wish I had a Thunderbolt!

That must hurt your eardrums but your neighbors must love you when you hear a tornado siren of any kind just sound that big ol baby no really I love Thunderbolt sirens you're so awesome

Glad I aint your fukin neighbour!

"Your neighbors must love you." It can be true, especially in cases like my area where we have quiet sirens that sometimes don't even go off. my county sends everyone a special weather radio that only goes off for my county, and most people tend to disable them because the batteries they use are rechargeable and tend to fail, resulting in the thing beeping every 2 minutes 24/7. So most people in my area tend to step outside when the sirens go off to hear the siren tell what type of warning it is. It's particularly quiet in my neighborhood because the closest siren is busted.

What on earth do you have these for??? my egg timer works fine....

The other siren in background: its my test day. The tbolt:pfft I can beat that old siren. Watch who's boss.

Neighbours fuckin' love you

Lol.. The DOGS in your neighborhood must just love it.. I thought I heard howling at one point..

How to piss off your neighbors forever in less than four seconds.

I'd love to have a siren in my backyard but at the same time... I'm deathly afraid of loud noises :/

It's kinda ironic how they have been straying away with all of these mechanical sirens because of maintenance and convenience cost to service them and being cheaper to just broadcast it on tv, but by getting rid of these what if something really was to happen and tv and regular power gets knocked out and we can't watch tv. So, how are they to alert people of something? It's sad how we're becoming to complacent and dependent on computer technology. I know these air raid sirens were hooked up to a regular back up generator for that purpose if power does go out, but about the Emergency Broadcast System on the tv is what gets me and you won't be able to depend on cell phone service either to get the word out; 9-11 in New York proved that with cell phones going down to people who needed to call in and call out. I used to know of a some state land that I used to pass going along I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson where the entire state of Arizona had dumped all of their Emergency Air Raid sirens from the whole state and piled them up in the desert to rot away. Some lucky person here on KZread shared his story on how he got lucky and was granted access by the state to scrounge up a couple for his collection to restore.
