That hi-lo siren is much more pleasant, and they HAVE already switched to it in NYC, at least in Midtown West. Hearing the old wailling version all the time, causes people anxiety, and cuts down on people's sense of wholesomeness and their productivity. Everyone can still tell the hi-lo is a siren and they're supposed to know it's a law to try to pull over to let the emergency vehicle get by. If you have a driver's license the "Rules of the Road", which you must know to pass your driver's test, says you must try to pull over, to leave room for any emergency vehicle using flashing lights and/or sirens to get by. Any pedestrians or vehicles who do not try to do so, should be at least fined, and that law should be announced repeatedly on local news and enforced, instead of using sirens to startle people. Patients often ask ambulance drivers to shut off the old type wailing siren, as it's very blood pressure raising and distressing.

My mother used to drive an ambulance in the 80s in the Los Angeles area. She said that her ambulances had the high-low European sirens AND the normal American style sirens. She told me that the European tones were great for clearing intersections because they sounded so different, and people would respond to them better. Her method was to use the American style sirens most of the time, but she would switch to the high-lows when approaching an intersection. She always said that worked pretty well.

If I do remember correctly, a lot of fire trucks and ambulances in LA back in the 80s-90s were fitted with hilo horns and mechinal sirens. There are still some trucks in service using this! Just look up "LAFD Hilo airhorn" on KZbin.

I'm British and almost all UK emergency vehicles have the screaming sirens. I much prefer the 2 tone horn/ hi lo sound, as I believe is usually found in France, Germany and the Netherlands. The scream is painful on the ears, and stress inducing. Way before the coronavirus started, you'd see a lot of ambulances out and about- a nation of ill people? The traditional mechanical sirens on American fire engines have a deeper tone and are less excruciating. I believe it is because the scream is stress inducing, that they're introducing 2 tone horns, or hi- los, in New York.

I'm from a small town in Maine called Dover-Foxcroft and those are already EVERYWHERE. Some of the Police cars already have a French 3 style electric siren. And the Fire Engines have a British sort of tone to it. To be honest, culturally in Maine. We know that we are Americans, but we still have VERY strong bonds to Spain, France, Canada, Britain, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark and Portugal. So many things here, like the sirens of a Police car are more "Euro" as some people would say it. Btw, Ambulances also have that French 3 tone electronic siren as well except they are a little deeper in terms of pitch

@@EnjoyFirefighting I think the "European siren" policy should be renamed "hi-lo" or "two tone" siren policy because it sounds more descriptive. These politicians need to learn a thing or two. Euro sirens could be anything from Martinhorn to the Federal Signal AS sirens...which also have wail and yelp besides hi-lo. Many American sirens actually have hilo tones, so it isnt just "European". Hell, even POS China sirens have the hilo tones being proposed. Now to the fun part: What sirens have the hilo tones, vs which ones dont. The EQ2B's that FDNY use all do not have a hilo tone, so this will be a lot to replace. Neither do the PA4000's used by the ambulances. This is where the bulk cost of replacement will be. NYPD lucks out because the SmartSiren has a hilo tone. Other services may vary due to the large variety of sirens used by them. The biggest issue will be federal agencies such as FBI, DSS and so on. They are federal agencies and run sirens in NYC. Do they fall under the city' policies or go by their own rules? Many of these federal vehicles use a variety of sirens, some having hilo, others not.

There are two types of sirens- mechanical sirens (which are usually only found on fire trucks these days) and electronic sirens (which are found on police cars, ambulances, and are also additionally found on firetrucks as a second siren to the mechanical ones). Virtually all electronic sirens that have been made in the US in the last 40 years have multiple modes including the European hi/lo tones, but we simply don't use them for some reason.
@EnjoyFirefighting3 жыл бұрын
on this side of the pond mechanical sirens aren't only to be found on fire apparatus but also on small to large EMS vehicles, police trucks and apparatus from other departments and agencies. Among hi-lo sirens there are 3 types of sirens (electronic, supertone, mechanical) with a total number of 11 siren modes, of which 5 are legal in Germany

@@EnjoyFirefighting 1stly, I know what a Martin Horn is and how it operates. It also does not produce square soundwaves which are crucial for alerting the public by penetrating sound-deadening material found in modern cars and buildings. 2ndly, are you keenly aware of how many cars are in Manhattan alone? Traffic, not noise pollution, is the issue NYC needs to fix. You wanna know why drivers don't move for the FDNY? Its not because they don't want to, at least not always. Its because they can't, not without causing an accident or wrecking their vehicle. If they have no where to go, then they can't move out of the way as the law dictates. THAT, not what siren is used, is the true issue.
@EnjoyFirefighting Жыл бұрын
"crucial for alerting the public" that's what the stronger tremolo tuning on the martin horn is for. Not sure what kind of sound-wave they produce; Only know that it has the same db(A) at the same measuring distance. And apart from actual specs: we don't need an airhorn besides the siren, as the siren itself technically is an airhorn already ;) I'm well aware of that; And also, that the streets are quite a bit wider - often enough drivers are too lazy or too stupid to move aside even if there's more than sufficient space to move over. How do you think do drivers manage to pull over in tight city environments here? It can be done if you really want to, unless there really isn't any space to move aside. But on a 5 lane wide road ... even if jammed with cars, it would be easy to create a bit of room for an ambulance or fire truck to fit through, if people only really tried to move aside.
