Chrysler Air Raid Siren - Powered by a 331 Hemi Engine

Demonstration of a Chrysler Air Raid Siren at the Hotchkis Mopar Show (7/18/09)

[@mysticprophecy5395]

This siren on full power can get you deaf in less than 60 meters

[@aaron71]

130db @ 100'. Crazy.

[@childishtombino1275]

More than that holy crap... It's like 138 @ 100'

[@kimmomarlow4125]

Aw that was hardly up to speed.

[@7thwardtgegrey]

It’s a v8 car engine that’s why

[@kaizenweisz2120]

So more of a lack of torque then?

[@Thunderbolt1000Tfan]

That thing has an insane echo. It sounds so eerie.

[@safetydave720]

Damn, nobody runs them up to speed.

[@rachaelstevens196]

link?

[@bodes_26]

To be fair in the case in this video the windows of the building it's next very well could of shattered from this going full tilt and not to mention it would set off half the cars in the car meets alarms off

[@marylandsirensfirebuff9664]

well if it was on full power everyone would probably fall over and have there clothes ripped off

[@duanethomasdirtpile5737]

There actually is a couple of them out there where they run in full tilt it's hard to find there's only a couple but I tell you what full tilt these f****** things are dumb loud like undescribable loud

[@siren_enjoyer]

theres a reason why its the loudest siren in the world. 3 words: CHONK CHOPPER DISC

[@michaelmerles6007]

This is what I need my neighbors start blasting music at all hours of night! This will get their attention!

[@LASR71]

I want to plug this thing to my bass and crank it up, lol... seriously, I can only imagine the terror I´d feel if I was listening to this thing on a real situation. Hope this is restored and taken into a museum.

[@TheN1Chris]

Rev higher! That thing can go higher and reach a large distance. You ought to rev it to full power.

[@IndyTheGreat]

This is the loudest device ever created by man. The second loudest is the ACA P-50.

[@gajda1984]

love the sound of that hemi, sounds like a 68 challenger accelerating!

[@RT42069]

take the engine out of that challenger and hook it up to the siren.

[@ozzykrahn806]

Looses its historical value of the siren

[@justinstearns9723]

The 331 in the siren is a better engine

[@DeathracerXD]

You’ll have a $2 itsm

[@fredgervinm.p.3315]

It would have a tendency to crash into a Mustang.

[@IsraelRodriguez1]

I imagine all the grandparents who lived at that time running to the bunkers.

[@extramile150]

thanks for the post!

[@MrRescue100]

Meanwhillle in that building: Only shit!!! Its the end of world!!

[@cincysilvia8807]

that building and the one 20 miles away lol

[@dougharker9913]

LOVE IT BAD ASS !!!!!!!!!!

[@Siren1000T1]

Great Demo!

[@e57michel]

absolutely awesome vid!! 5stars!!

[@Eights_Coronel-864]

Not even an ACA P-50 was louder than this beast...

[@Defconfx]

Next time crank that baby up to 4,600 rpm and let it sing. The attack mode per te DC manual is 8 seconds full power, 4 seconds off and repeat this interval. For alert to e run full power for a minute the. Power down. All clear is almost same as alert tone but three blasts of one minute on then. A minute silence between. Btw can you bring this by my neighborhood? I wanna annoy some people :-P

[@georgewaters456]

man... that thing is great !!

[@Crack_Roach]

Wish we had sirens like this today😂

[@sdrape4964]

Everyone acts like this tornado siren is impressive. Our house sounds the exact same way every time I eat onions.

[@ferd9191]

that is definitely the loudest Chrysler out there!

[@EphemeralProductions]

Please tell me everyone around there, especially the guy operating it, had adequate hearing protection on!!! Those things get VERY loud, from what I hear, and I imagine it can hurt your eardrums pretty bad!!!! LOL

[@k.c.lejeune6613]

Nowhere near it's full potential, sad.

[@qualeb8164]

Well if it did go to full power a lot of people would either; A. Be deaf. Or B. Showered with glass

[@Droideka133]

@Zombiepwnage117 At full blast, It can be heard a maximum of almost 30 miles ! It was and still is , the world's loudest siren .

[@wesleyhardison7480]

I would love to have one look at the history of those

[@cxhatchboy520]

Brave of them to sound it off so close to that array of glass windows lol

[@TheAngrykiwi]

@DieselDemon18 i will be demonstrating the siren this saturday may 22 for a boy scout jamboree.run times are 6.30am,6.30pm and 7.00pm.location will be american military museum,so.el monte CA

[@Zombiepwnage117]

this is most powerful device that emits sound to ever be created. its so powerful infact, taht it can be heard 6 miles away, 2nd loudest sound device ever created is the basic military siren, and it can only be heard for 1 mile.

[@vector6977]

Sam G. More like 15miles,

[@redfive2008]

Both wrong. 25 miles.

[@sadwingsraging3044]

@@redfive2008 and it can vibrate the air to such an extent that the water particles in fog coalesce and fall as rain clearing the air.

[@wiedietie]

People think the wold is gonna end in that neighbourhood

[@DocHellfish]

Fyi, they used one of these for Silent Hill. Nither here nor in the film is that thing opened up to full power.. it can do the full range of the stereotypical siren in pitch... but it's full roar is bone and teeth chattering at close range.

[@TheAngrykiwi]

@TheAngrykiwi they have now said i can not run the siren at the carshow due to complaints of it being to loud!(and it wasnt even running properly last time).i will be there on the sunday to display it

[@DieselDemon18]

@TheAngrykiwi dam i missed it i was out of town that weekend, but you seem to be in town close to me alot i live in santa fe springs, where are you located maybe one day when you do another test run i can drop by.

[@thrmoz456]

I was suggesting it in regards to aesthetic qualities solely, as I prefer the sound of dual-toned sirens. Although, I'm not sure how it would be 'half as loud'. By extension, are you suggesting that the Thunderbolt 1000t produces half the volume of the 1000?

[@TheAngrykiwi]

the siren is almost fully restored and you will be able to a high speed run at the spring fling chrysler show in van nuys CA,april 17,18 2010

[@RadioFollies]

Horn! Hemi Power!

[@murrfarms]

Yep, that would be surface rust from the chopper disk (right behind the 6 horns) and the blower's impeller being blown out. That's accumulation from sitting on a building or tower somewhere without running for god knows how many years.

[@mr7confused]

i want one of these in my room.

[@ZX2ManDave]

Hook it to the back of a ice cream truck and pull it around town.

[@vanamonde2]

Notice the clouds of rust dust coming of the thing on wind down.

[@technogame6064]

the sound is scary

[@Defconfx]

😈 i need on of these for my neighborhood! Muhahahaha

[@kimking4997]

Yea dude! Yes 4 lif

[@80fireman]

o ya, real awesome, only until your ears blow up

[@jerryekhator790]

Thunderstorm the Earth

[@nickman888]

440 is a magnum man

[@fernandomendes9910]

Esse som deveria ser tremendamente assustador!!!!! O som que anunciava um ataque de aviões bombardeiros.

[@TestTubeBabySpy]

All these siren vids are taken right next to the sirens. Hope someone can do a video of how it sounds a half mile away.

[@ajconlin8525]

People make ambiances all the time

[@TestTubeBabySpy]

@@ajconlin8525 What do you mean? Digital effects?

[@tallr264]

Imagine they happen with dodge demon motor or Dodge Hellephart motor on it? That will to be very loud

[@audinos4827]

That was only at half speed. It can get over an octave higher in pitch, and would have probably shattered some of that glass in the background.

[@buckjohnsonus]

@Zombiepwnage117 What are you talking about? I can hear the local fire sirens further than a mile away.

[@MrTantalust]

I never would have run that bad boy near all those windows, lol

[@DieselDemon18]

@TheAngrykiwi im not to big a chyrsler fan well that i am to a certain extent but dam i want to go there just to see that air raid siren lol

[@wolfgangiceclaw]

@SanDiegoInnOut More than likely rust that was inside the siren.

[@The_EmeraldOne]

I swear t god I hear a second, 12 port tone tone coming from the siren when it winds all the way up and starts to wind down. Chrysler P-50?

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

damn things got more horsepower than my car 😭😭

[@angusandleigh]

Only Chrysler engineers would wake up one morning and think..."how could anyone improve an air raid siren.....I know let's bolt up a HEMI to one" :)

[@justinstearns9723]

They built other sirens before these, that had flathead sixes in them. They decided to up their game after that.

[@SanDiegoInnOut]

what was the yellow smoke????? : /

[@tf7274]

Parks next to crystal glass store...

[@bigchevy80]

It is rotational. The whole thing pivots

[@bigharrykochenbauls4567]

My grandma just dove under the bed 🛌

[@sscot600]

@Zombiepwnage117 what is the 1st loudest sound device?

[@redfive2008]

The Chrysler victory sirens are still the loudest sirens ever built, 138db @ 100ft.

[@kagome122885]

A rotary engine does not sound better than a V8. I grew up around American automobiles, mainly GM, and a V8 has a unique sound of its own.

[@thrmoz456]

wonder how this siren would have sounded as a dual toned

[@DuckboyTheDuck]

Sounds like an aca p50

[@plumcrazzzy]

Looked like rust . blowing out the cobs. He whines it up pretty good :)

[@crazywarriorman]

Air.

[@blammod]

wonder what the people who can hear this but don't know nothing about this demo think.

[@hardtackjack]

@dritb4 Looks like rust dust.

[@Just-water778]

Why not make it louder by putting a TerraGator 8400 engine in it

[@mattetch12]

Let's be serious if for some reason you heard one of those rip into action you know deep shit is happening and it's probably too late

[@superjoe87]

Um.. that could permanently damage the dude's hearing.

[@MrJayrock620]

And you guys thought people with loud exhausts on their Mopars were annoying.

[@snowwolf9055]

I would take that hemisphere motor and throw it in a dodge charger, where it belongs

[@Masterman5010]

Connor Daily Lol do an engine swap on that bitch

[@wolfgangiceclaw]

@EngineManic A rotary would not have the torque to move that.

[@74plymouthduster74]

Depends a 1 rotor no a 2 rotor and up yes it would

[@MON383]

You'd think they would have used a chev to power it... After all a chev is all noise and no action, and they wanted noise....... (mopar or nocar)

[@brittaniedirks3174]

And why don't they just get an engine from a CAT dump truck

[@brittaniedirks3174]

He spelled semi wrong

[@Droideka133]

That V8 engine needs some work done on it .

[@fluffyfullbox9289]

Should have used it during 9-11 attack.

[@edwinmyrick4571]

@fpsrussia is that u lol

[@EngineManic]

you should put a rotary engine on it

[@PooManchoo2]

Rotaries sound better that V8s??? Mate.. You're on smack! zip zip zip zip zip zip Like a bloody mosquito ! Horrible.
