Jamming Out To Some Mechanical Horns

[@monkeyman1282]

Ahhh good old March time. Brings back memories.

[@OliverSchlecter]

I have no clue why this got recommended to me but this is really funny man 😭

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

God I love mechanical horns in march time! They always sound great. One of them's raspy...

[@officialsimplexguy]

Yup. For sure. The 9805 is a bit funky but much better than before

[@YourLocalFireAlarmTech]

Absolutely LOVE Mechanical horns. I wish they still made alarms like this. I love that FOS/Faraday you got on the wall, I need to find me one like that. Should do this same setup on 90 BPM 2001 Marchtime!!

[@JBF-GST-Tanda]

They last longer, sound louder and undergo less malfunctions than modern piezo-based electronic sounders.

[@YourLocalFireAlarmTech]

@@JBF-GST-Tanda Oh yeah. They're straight forward and to the point. They also grab attention better IMHO. They give off a more urgent sound telling you to leave immediately. But they just sound cooler too for enthusiasts like me lol

[@cin426]

You don't hear alarms like this too much anymore. I didn't even know they still made them to sound like buzzers.

[@SargeantPrepper]

I don't think they make them to buzz anymore, but there are a lot of older buildings with these.

[@anthonycopter1068]

I wonder why

[@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440]

i do these days my area kept old horns and that

[@piktureit]

Cool alarm choices! It sounds pretty cool upstairs.

[@officialsimplexguy]

Thanks

[@piktureit]

@@officialsimplexguy you’re welcome

[@firealarm421]

Nice. Mechanical horns sound the best on March time & continuous

[@officialsimplexguy]

Thanks

[@JBF-GST-Tanda]

Continuous mech horns sound like Despicable Me minions screaming while escaping from a fire

[@lukep4339]

Omg, this is heaven!

[@officialsimplexguy]

You bet

[@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440]

lol

[@FireRescue80]

Music to my ears.

[@officialsimplexguy]

Haha

[@damienalarms15]

Love that sound!

[@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440]

same

[@FireAlarm33]

You should put the panel on the wall. Nice video!

[@officialsimplexguy]

I really should. Im just too lazy to mess around with it

[@chloe_reacts_to]

what’s your favorite fire alarm system?

[@officialsimplexguy]

Anything simplex

[@chloe_reacts_to]

@@officialsimplexguy do you like the simplex 4100 es or does the whoop sound get on your nerves?

[@officialsimplexguy]

@@chloe_reacts_to its alright I guess. My school has a 4100es but it has horns from the 90s so no whoop there just old horns on code 3

[@chloe_reacts_to]

@@officialsimplexguy that’s cool

[@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440]

How loud is my test if you had already prerecorded it my guess its 269 db with all horns and happy almost March time lol and this made me head bang like that one guy jamming to old simplex fire alarms

[@officialsimplexguy]

Its not bad. The loudest was the 9806 but thats not terribly loud. The 9838 and 9833 were on the quiet side. You'll see it later this week

[@FireRescue80]

You'll be dead if it was 269 decibels.

[@officialsimplexguy]

@@FireRescue80 yeah for sure

[@FireRescue80]

@@officialsimplexguy This guy doesn't know how loud fire alarms are.

[@officialsimplexguy]

Yeah I see. Its depending on your location that will depend on the volume. So youre right 269db would kill somebody. Sound always averages out it never adds up as you add horns because that's not how sound works. In the case of test 32 with 2 87db horns and 1 99db horn. The system on average is 91db and that always fluctuates depending on how close you are and how loud the particular alarm is.

[@anthonycopter1068]

4:38 That's what she said

[@officialsimplexguy]

😂😂

[@vintagefirealarmguy5285]

Good vides

[@officialsimplexguy]

Hell yeah

[@vintagefirealarmguy5285]

Also. I just bought 2 of the 4903 9222s.

[@officialsimplexguy]

@@vintagefirealarmguy5285 neat. I got 3 Harrington 6226s and 2 4904 remote lights and im converting one into a 4903 9102 light plate

[@vintagefirealarmguy5285]

@@officialsimplexguy cool

[@officialsimplexguy]

@@vintagefirealarmguy5285 are they going to be in the next system test or are you going to let someone request them

[@huskypuppypaws4850]

[@MrKal222]
