Whelen WPS 4004, Voice & Alert : Harwood Heights, IL (Monthly Test)
Ғылым және технология
Voice- 01:38 Alert- 06:59 Recorded 92 feet away from siren
This siren is part of the Norwood Park Fire Protection District. The voice on this Whelen was a little glitchy as seen in the video, but at least it worked. The sirens in the begging are Thunderbolts and the nearest one is 6 miles!!! That shows their true power. The Whelen is silent tested weekly. The funny thing is that 1 voice message is longer than Chicago test their sirens (30 second).

Yeah thats what I thought. They have four all together. This one is by the Harwood Heights water tower on Oketo Ave. They also have one on Foster and Cumberland. Thanks for watching!

I've been to Norwood only once, for a festival last year....a friend of mine, was in a band...went there but was a little late for the concert.
Same thing with the siren at URS, theres a buzzing sound when the alert tone is played.
Why does it seem to get louder from all angles when it powers down?

Most definitely not only the sound of the voice but also when the Siren starts to rotate
Is this siren controlled by DTMF tones? You don't hear them playing over the siren's sound system as you do with so many other sirens.
Aren’t these sirens in disrepair? I saw another video of one of these same sirens glitching out
Im currently deciding if I should go to the Niles Thunderbolt 1003 or the Whelen with the 2001 a few blocks away. But I am going toward the Thunderbolt.
I saw that airplane fly so low I was thinking, "OH NO! NOT AGAIN!"
Could I hear a 560 Hz Whelen as well as the tbolts
I noticed the Voice coming from the siren horn is producing a lot of echoes
one of these is in hasville I see it every time I come back home

You are very true about that
Your talking about a bunch of different sirens from this city. This one is close to Iggy's and is on Oketo.
how loud was it
This is located right near the path for Chicago’s oHare airport. That is why the planes were all flying low. I know where the 4 4004 sirens here are on a map.
I'm not sure, but I think there is one of those in East Rockaway, ny
This siren and the others around norridge and harwood heights only activated for a tornado warning ONCE. At least when i was around. it went off i think 2013, 2012 and it said something like "this is a tornado warning, seek shelter now."

what they need to do is play Hulk Hogans theme song for the test.

This is a rotating siren and is unidirectional which means it must play the voice in all the directions so it's heard at a distance. The siren you hear is probably omnidirectional and therefore requires voice to be played only once to be heard sufficiently.
