Actually, in Franklin County, the regular tests consists of two solid tones, 20 seconds each, and theres a 40 second rest in between. They also do voice on the first Wednesday of the month..

I live just up the road from this Whelen WPS-4004. I am here to confirm that this unit is in proper working order, and within the almost 5 years of living here, it has not once malfunctioned. This unit is located at the corner of Kioka Avenue & Clifton Road, right next to the Riverside Global Methodist Church.

Hi-lo signal: it is for fire alarm, some country use them for tornado warning. Since hi-lo signals have a lot of echo, people can hear them well. Most city have a lot of skyscrapers. So they use hi lo to generate echo beside buildings. I don't know, i searched in internet and google.

That siren was sounding in HiLo. Might be a firefighter or fire alarm signal interfering with the Siren causing it to sound in HiLo. Also why couldn't they contact Whelen to fix it?
