10 O'Clock - Park City, UT - Historic Curfew Siren

This siren was established in the early 1900's as a curfew siren for the youth in town. The video was taken on a rainy/snowy (mix) night, 4/1/2013.

I grew up in Park City in the 60's ad 70's. We always called this "The 10 o'clock Whistle". And I remember playing outside, and we knew we'd be in trouble if we weren't in the door by the time the whistle stopped blowing. So when it went off, there was a mad 30 second dash to get into the house. Listening to this brought back a lot of memories. Is it still going off? I thought they'd shut it down years ago! Thanks for posting... {:{)}

[@Powday4Me]

Yep! Still going off... every night at 10pm. Glad I was able to take you on a trip down Memory Lane! :)

[@jvxon5061]

5 years later and it still goes off. I looked it up because I’m here now and I just heard it!

@@Powday4Me And the people who live there consider their existence freedom?

[@dodgerfannoahg9366]

I was just in Park City for 2 weeks and everynight the siren went off and we had to get out of the hot tub and go inside to get ready for bed

Whats scary is that we have this for our curfew. At 8:00 PM sharp, they sound this horn everywhere ( idk if its everywhere tho ) and its scary because street night watchers *WILL* shoot you to death if your not home. I live in the Philippines.

Park City is such a great place to live

[@WJCTechyman]

That curfew siren sounds like one of the Bell Victory sirens developed with Chrysler powered by a V8 hemi and mounted on a rotating truck chassis.

[@doohickey-enjoyer]

Considering this siren was established in the 1900s, it is likely a Federal Electric Model B

[@trevorkwinn2792]

3rd Generation born and raised in Park City. love it. No place like home man.

[@evangouldtransit]

siren is a Fedelcode Model 7.

[@tylerpresley425]

That is AWSOME!

[@Bryan198026]

I remember they had one in Balsam Lake, Wisconsin, the town where my folks grew up. It would sound every day at noon except on weekends as I recall, then at nine o'clock at night. Again I don't think it would sound on weekends or at least not on Saturdays. But we referred to it as the noon or nine o'clock whistle. THen of course it was also the emergency warning. But I remember there was a sort of urban legend that my brother and to a lesser extent my mom used to tell us younger kids, that if we weren't inside by the time the nine o'clock whistle stopped blowing there were these creatures called Jigs that would come out and eat us. So many memories...

[@freeenergycorporation]

ITS TEN O CLOCK. PARENTS DO U KNOW WHERE UR KIDS ARE?

[@HighwayStar71]

If I went to sleep early I would be pissed that parents can't get their brats off the streets on their own.

[@kimballr720]

I heard it last night cause I was in park city right by the ice cream shop with the alarm

[@richardskola3570]

Growing up in Salt Lake City I can remember a whistle, we called it the 8:00 o'clock whistle, each morning. It was around thru the fifties, and sixties, I'm sure. Where was it? why did it end? what was it for?

[@benmeyer2916]

Sounds underpowered but really cool at the same time

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

Wow that Fedelcode 7 is low powered. Almost like 208 single phase.

[@Tractorandsirens]

[@veldkampmotorsports2k189]

Ya. Maybe. The wind up was slow.

[@ThunderTrain2930]

For the size of that thing, that's a model 5.

[@christophercotton9048]

It’s 10:00p. Do you know where your children are??

[@mjt777x8]

True.

[@Midwest_Sirens]

It is a model dive that sounds like it has not enough power? It does sound like a 5 but I looked on street view and saw it was.

[@sprintertrueno1985]

It's a model5?

[@Midwest_Sirens]

@@sprintertrueno1985 yes... it’s 8 port

[@FA50PH]

Dive?

[@bluesunstar5088]

wait.. because, *why??* i mean, read the description, ok.. but *PLEASE* tell me that siren doesn't happen every night of the week!🤦🏾😯

[@colekernel2365]

It does, once a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

[@michaeldouthitt5972]

Sounds almost like a Chrysler air raid siren.

[@nobodylovesme8780]

its a fedelcode 5/7 that sounds underpowered

[@Anglo-Saxon9]

Do they have sirens like this in Salt lake? If so then why do they never sound them?

[@Powday4Me]

It's a Park City tradition. Dunno about SLC...

[@Anglo-Saxon9]

Oh. I have seen videos of some in American fork and other places but none in Salt lake.

[@Powday4Me]

Interesting. Thanks for the comment/information.

[@Anglo-Saxon9]

No problem :)

[@gabrielagrigore2131]

I heard it tonight at 9:59 pm on Main Street Park City. 12/28/24 Not a fun sound, my child was really spooked out.

[@EFT356]

That’s a fedelcode model 5 or 7 pin me

[@rtcp2020]

What happens if you go outside during curfew?

[@isaaclovesJesus]

Depends in what country you are (in my my country there is jail time for 3 years and a 33 thousand dollar fine)

[@rtcp2020]

Empire Kings what country do you live?

[@davidnissim589]

Park City hasn't had a curfew since the mid-20th century, but they still sound the siren every night as a tradition
