Moore, Oklahoma Tornado Siren Ambiance (Standard Tones are Back!) | 6/25/22

6/25/22
At 12:00:09 the city of Moore conducted a weekly test of their Outdoor Warning Sirens on Saturday, June 25th, 2022, the test consisted of about a 3 minute Alert.
As soon as I heard that Moore switched their tones back to the standard tones I had to go down there. I took a few weeks because I was moving into a new house and then I went to Texas so this was my first free weekend. I set the audio recorder down here to get this ambiance while I went to record a Modulator. I'm not disappointed at all! I'm glad these tones are back, Moore finally sounds normal again. I decided to set the audio recorder here again since the last time I set it here Moore was still ThunderMod so I wanted to hear the difference.

I liked the ThunderMod but the regular tones sound much more better

[@AndrewWT5020]

Yeah

[@GabrielCL2T22A]

I like this! I'm also glad they went back to their old tones, it brings some nostalgia.

[@NormanWeather]

that kid didnt sound like he was having a good time

[@AndrewWT5020]

Lol

[@shshdu]

Probably trauma from 2013

[@MichaelLovely-mr6oh]

​@@shshduProbably. The tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma on May 20th, 2013 touched down at 2:56 PM Central Time and dissipated thirty-nine minutes later at 3:35 PM. Right at the time when schools are dismissing children. All I can do is hope that the kid screaming in the background wasn't a student at one of the two elementary schools that were hit by the storm: Briarwood Elementary School and Plaza Towers Elementary School.

[@colehac12]

sweet! So glad to hear the minecraft cave sounds back in moore

[@DeadChan67]

In some parts, it almost sounds like ‘13’

[@MichaelLovely-mr6oh]

​@@DeadChan67If you have watched coverage of the May 20th, 2013 tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma there are a few instances where you can hear the tornado sirens in the city wailing. I watched coverage of the storm by Oklahoma City's NBC affiliate KFOR channel 4 and in a phone call between the station's chief meteorologist Mike Morgan and a field meteorologist by the name of Mike Bennett I heard the wailing of tornado sirens in the background. Bennett explained that the tornado was on 19th Street approaching South Santa Fe Avenue and that he had to turn around and get out of the path of the storm at South Moore High School. While I'm not from the area I have tremendous respect for the crew at Channel 4 for the way they covered the May 20th storm: Mike Bennett and Emily Sutton tracking the storm on the ground, Mike Morgan covering the storm in the studio, Jon Welsh tracking the tornado from the helicopter, and Linda Cavanaugh providing information about the school districts in the path of the storm.

0:02 there sounds like there is a thunderbolt

Cuz there is.

[@THAT_06_XC90]

Moore has 4 thunderbolts

[@GabrielCL2T22A]

​@@THAT_06_XC90No they have 5.

[@neonflashsparkotron5435]

Yo they even brought back the very old wind-down sound. They used those old wind-down back when they first installed the mods in like 2000

[@AndrewWT5020]

Yeah, they typically only did it with those Major 3rd tone Mods though so it’s interesting

[@OutdoorWarningSirenStudios2]

The kids screaming had my dying 🤣🤣

[@northdakotasirens1520]

Great!

[@GamerDevXD]

Sounding like Moore in 2013

[@LG_Q60.3gp]

The kfor clip one

[@MichaelLovely-mr6oh]

​@@LG_Q60.3gpI could faintly hear the sirens in the background of a call between Channel 4's chief meteorologist Mike Morgan and a field meteorologist named Mike Bennett when Bennett had to turn around get out of the path of the tornado at South Moore High School. Bennett explained that the tornado was on 19th Street and approaching Santa Fe Avenue.

[@MichaelLovely-mr6oh]

​@@LG_Q60.3gpMm-hm. That was when one of the station's field meteorologists Mike Bennett was on the phone with the station's chief meteorologist Mike Morgan. Bennett explained that he had to turn around and get out of the path of the tornado at Southmoore High School as the tornado was on 19th Street and approaching South Santa Fe Avenue.

[@Supersonic_Sirens_TX]

Absolutely amazing!

[@GabrielCL2T22A]

What is the loudest Modulator in Moore to you? What location is it at?

[@AndrewWT5020]

I’ve only heard 5020s and 5020Bs in Moore so they were about the same loudness. I do plan on eventually recording the 8032B which would be the loudest one

[@GabrielCL2T22A]

​@@AndrewWT5020Oh okay! My loudest siren I've ever recorded is the 5020T at Oakridge Elementary. really loud, but not the loudest siren I've ever recorded... The 8032B is a good siren to record I think. I've recorded that siren many times and it won't be the last. I am more than likely to record it this weekend if the weather goes in favor.

[@larryhicks4203]

I'm curious. What do you mean by old tones? I've lived in Moore for 5 years and they use the exact same sirens that sound exactly the same as before.

[@techyyystech388]

The Modulators in Moore (most prevalent/continuous sound in this video) were running thundermod tones for a little bit, and were recently switched back to their standard pitches. Thundermod means they were essentially just running different pitches meant to emulate thunderbolts, the lower-pitched sirens which you can hear occasionally throughout the video. Thundermod seems to have been pretty controversial and those tones are no longer used.

Would be nice if they brought back major thirds

[@AndrewWT5020]

Agreed

[@SportyTrainGuy]

Why is the audio recording sometimes...skippy?

[@AndrewWT5020]

Idk, that’s just what the audio recorder does for some reason

[@shshdu]

That modulator has a MCP controller

[@AndrewWT5020]

There was a mix of UV and MCP in this video, they all have custom wind up and wind down times though

[@shshdu]

​@@AndrewWT5020i meant the loud ones in the video

Sucks they removed the hurricane. Wish they still had it and it will not fail😢.

How do you do the ambience i have phone i don't have a computer i know on map it shows the location of the sirens can you show me how you do it because my son really loves sirens

I have audio recorders that I turn on and set down somewhere to get the audio of the sirens. And then I take a screen shot of that map and just edit the picture over the audio for the video
