Awesome video!

Oh boy I’m quite familiar with this siren. The public works facility that it’s on the property of used to be a NIKE missile launch site. The asphalt surrounding the buildings actually still have the silo doors in the ground in a few spots. You can actually see one of the silo door sets right to the left of the black pickup truck in the background at 7:32 near the top of the screen.

Excellent job man! 👍

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Thank you!

[@sirenfan97]

Glad someone finally got this one

[@CoolSirens1000T]

Awesome vid man! Dang those echoes hit hard wish I could have gone there but I couldn't. Great drone shot and camera shot!

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Thanks! I love the echoes on voice. It sounds as if there is more than one ESC-864 siren, but this is their last one and all the 4004s near this are ESC-2030. That proves that it is echoes lol

[@Supersonic_Sirens_TX]

Very nice!

NIce! I recorded caseyvilles's vortex

[@AmericanSirenProductions]

Sounds like it’s sniffing coke on each cycle, gotta love them screens

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Fr 😂

[@CentralOHSirens]

This is actually Whelen’s “Attack”, not Wail.

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

I’m well aware of that lol. It is technically fast wail tho. The Whelen wail function is technically attack as attack and wail are basically the same thing

[@CentralOHSirens]

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL yeah, so the title should be “Full Attack”

[@ianssirenproductions]

Very cool sucks I missed the test tho

[@dinkindane]

Thank god this is still there! Was it that loud? It doesn’t seem like it

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Update: it got replaced as of this month. I literally discovered it today lol

[@dinkindane]

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL the last of the original 1990s system finally falls. It’s kinda sad growing up with this system and now it’s gone

[@purpleviolet207]

Amazing video!
