DownTown Cincinnati Siren Ambiance

[@CJW0056]

I didn't anticipate how much more frightening these would sound when combined with my fear of heights, I'd be very uncomfortable on that roof during this test.

[@doverpoint1]

This is one of the most epic siren ambiences ever.

[@bluegrasssirens1938]

Lily Dane It was awesome!

[@doverpoint1]

I bet it was awesome to hear in person!

[@bluegrasssirens1938]

Yes it was!

[@bassavino]

Yep! I was a student at UC. You could hear it from campus, but if you were downtown it could floor you. I was downtown the first time I heard it, and being new to town from Cleveland had not a clue. I though Martians were going to land!

[@bluegrasssirens1938]

You must have heard the one on Calhoun Hall and the EPA building

[@Mayah_Abelman]

probably one of the best siren ambiences i've ever heard. I like how at the end you could hear modulators doing the alternate wail.

[@Orion_The_Kobold]

That's our city alright!

[@crazypilot7577]

Honestly this is the one of the best and most beautiful siren ambiance I've ever heard. All the T bolts and that T bolt that's damaged made it sound just that much better.

[@ericschminke8233]

Did Cincinnati have these types of sirens on April 3rd, 1974? For those who might not know that was the date of the "Super Outbreak" that continued until early in the morning of April 4th. There were 148 tornadoes that struck in about 18 hours of which 7 were F5s and 23 were F4s. Southern Ohio was hit especially hard where one F5 struck Xenia, who did NOT have tornado sirens. Uhh, that was corrected.

[@DownToYouSirens]

They definitely would have, as these 4/5 port thunderbolt 1000Ts were some of the earliest Thunderbolt sirens produced. I don’t know however if they used them for tornados or not back then, they may have just been for civil defense during the Cold War.

[@willamshugo283]

@@DownToYouSirens I believe they would've sounded alert for that particular warning

[@Videogamer52100]

They did. The whole system was installed in batches. Most of it was put up in the 1950's, some were installed in the 1970's to 1980's according to the ASC survey.

[@bornundersaturnz]

I can definitely hear a thunderbolt and maybe a 2001? Also I heard a siren doing alternate wail 0:36, and A T-128

[@HSETM]

That's a MOD. If you want to actually see the video of it, it's by 4j25.
