Federal Q2B Siren

well like i said before i let it rip, the other Q is long gone and I know have a Q2B. Found it on marketplace around December and hoped that it worked as the guy said it made a heck of a noise. well there was a reason for that. The damn stator had a dent in it and the chopper damn near seized up on it. So after careful hammering on it, i managed the get the chopper to spin freely. Anyways again like stated in video, self distancing Q2B siren blast.

i’m a firefighter, and i love this sound

[@xbox_gamer564]

My favorite siren tbh

[@chriscruzA35O-9OO]

This sound has an adrenaline effect on me. I was a firefighter, and I can still relate to it, even though hearing it now still produces it in me.

[@sebastianfloyd372]

It’s not a fire truck unless it’s got a Q Siren

[@slimydoubloon3673]

The station I work for, our Engine 1 doesn’t have a Q lol… still a pretty truck tho

[@outdoorBE]

Not really

[@irt3rdavenueel172]

Also some ambulances have a Q siren not just fire trucks, back in the 50s-70s the police used to have them the New York City Police Department had either a Federal Model 28 or a Q siren on one of the ESS units when it responded to the WTC on 9/11, so all first responders had it before the modern day which is today’s society

Legend says: if you're a firefighter or former firefighter, this sound produces significant amounts of adrenaline in you.

[@southcarolinasirens01]

fire trucks use these sirens. we remembered when old fire trucks used hand cranked fire sirens. A fire rescue car once used the Federal Signal dual tone fire truck sirens.

[@MrReman2u]

LA County FD still uses that…well, their engines make that exact sound anyway.

[@athxlpacii77x4]

I just acquired one of these Q2B's recently. I got it from Minnesota. It was a special gift from a relative. He is a volunteer firefighter. Northern Minnesota.

Greetings :) I'm planning to start a project for a collection of warning sirens around the world by asking permission & giving credits for the original respective owners when using their videos. May i get your permission ? :)

[@bornundersaturnz]

Are you making a third one? If so, I can let you use my video of a prototype T-128. It’s a distance test tho

[@aliultimate009]

There was an unknown siren in Seaside, Oregon that the chopper exploded. So I can see why a Q has the possibility to do the same

How many volts do these operate on? I’m assuming they run on 120VAC

[@onefastslimjim]

12 or 24 volts I'm assuming, it's meant for vehicle use, mostly on fire trucks.

Is it an AC Voltage siren?

No, 12 volts DC
