Tornado Sirens in Downtown Chicago! (Original Video Recording)

Shot from The South Loop on my balcony in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
The Sears Tower is hidden behind the storm in the center, Lake Shore Drive is to the right and Soldier Field Stadium is on the center-right in the distance.
* I own the original video recording of this video, even though others claimed it, I am the originator.

[@ztarz-inferno]

this is a modulator/DSA siren, its an alternating wail. only some sirens can do this, specifically sirens with SPEAKERS. sadly, most sirens in chicago are electromechanical, so they make the noise with a rapidly spinning chopper. alternating wails are used by sirens with speakers for water related disasters, such as the one shown here, or hurricanes (which is extremely unlikely in chicago, its only happened 17 times)

[@DiamondCat_Audio]

It might be an older modulator too. But it sounds like its a rotating siren... Because in the video there are points where its distorting the camera's microphone, and other times when it is kind of quiet. We might need to look into this a little bit further...

[@DiamondCat_Audio]

But then again that could just be the specific frequencies messing with the small cheap sensitive plastic microphone diaphragm.

[@NakeishaCurryOfficial]

Very interesting. I am in Chicago and have lived to hear it twice..

[@HSETM]

Specific speaker sirens need the right controller to do this, such as the FS UV :)

[@HSETM]

Also to top that some mechanical sirens can do this, but it requires the use of solenoids, a dual tone chopper, and dampers.

Within all 8 years I lived in Chicago, I have never heard this until one day I woke up to make coffee and my 18 year old self started panicking because I thought I was still asleep or possibly dead or maybe even schizophrenic. It was definitely disturbing to sit and drink my coffee in that sound that just surrounded me. Good times. Thank you Chicago, never a dull moment😬

I wonder if the sirens are designed to also play on the natural fear of the "uncanny valley", the way it almost sounds melodic but never quite reaches it reminds me of those creepy dolls that almost look human but fall short.

[@chrisstowe111]

I know exactly what you mean. They're designed so that you can't get used to them.

[@waterlubber]

All tritones, right? For those who don't know music theory that well (I'm only beginning), one of the best harmonies in music is a "perfect fifth". It sounds extremely pleasing to the ear and a lot of music uses it often. If you take a perfect fifth and shift it down ever so slightly, so it juuuust barely doesn't match up, you get a tritone. Which is one of the worst things you can hear. In fact, you would be excommunicated from the Church if you used it in music.

[@AINGELPROJECT667]

Well there's a reason they called it "the Devi's Chord." But yeah. I think tritones also fall into the dreaded Uncanny Valley that us humans naturally fear.

[@carolynxstumph]

The uncanny valley really only applies to androids looking uncannily like humans, hence the name. Audio doesn't quite work in this situation. But, I get what you're saying.

[@AINGELPROJECT667]

It also applies to dolls too, but yeah, I know it's not a traditional application of the term. It was honestly the closest term I could use to describe it.

This was changed a couple years ago, the sirens now do fast wail. besides, only some of the city's sirens can make that sound. Most of the city's sirens are electromechanical, which make sound by spinning a chopper at high speed, and they can't do alt wail. Only some of them downtown are modulators and DSAs (which are essentially loudspeakers) which are able to do alt wail
