victory chrysler siren

[@Director_Orson_Krennic]

respect to that man for having one of these, and keeping the old girl up and running. absolute respect.

[@12799MaDeuce]

He actually has 2 of them

[@Pyro.Technic.801]

Director Orson Krennic I'm only 23 recently learned about these things and am looking for one on a daily basis if I find one I'm going to purchase and restore

[@bkrbyex4339]

Director Orson Krennic you meant...."the old man"!....haven't you seen the TSM webisodes before???.....some of them featured a Chrysler air raid siren,....even portrayed as a Santa Claus-like figure, in a holiday themed webisode....you should check them out....HA!

[@bkrbyex4339]

Anthony Morrison the emergency management of porter county Indiana is looking for a Chrysler air raid siren from WWIII to be displayed, at their booth at the porter county fair, an upcoming steam and power show, and at an upcoming open house, at the EM agency...go to their website, or on Facebook.

[@mattdotsonrailfanproductio266]

Director Orson Krennic you should get one of those sirens for the Death Star lol

[@Wizerslapski]

Don't ever take this down! this is a gem of a video.

[@VonnaWasser]

69 likes nice :P

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

Nice to hear one of these running at full throttle and it's a real video, not a synth! Also cool to hear it running in Alert mode. Pretty sure this is the only video on KZbin with a Chrysler running at full throttle AND in Alert

[@jeffroe8301]

Agreed. Best video I've found.

[@butcherofthewest5825]

Elizabeth_958 I think you're right.

[@electrichellion5946]

7:07 - That purr tho.

[@danielgoodman3578]

There's another video that I saw before this one that looks like it's a clip from this one

[@VVK5W]

Finally someone with a set big enough to run these machines the way they were intended. Just awesome.

[@Creeperboy099]

Finally someone was brave enough to do it

[@jdmcmillian277]

Only siren that can run a 10 second quarter mile lol

[@whorayful9361]

If ever a demonstration of Sound POWER Level was needed, this is it. 180 Hp of pure noise.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

I love it.

[@banjopickerinadoublewide7613]

I can imagine people for 20 miles around sitting on their front porch sipping tea going wtf?

[@aircraftandmore9775]

Lol

[@crabmannyjoe2]

Mad props for ripping that throttle like no one else would! Let er rip!

[@gasmask612]

My right ear liked this video

[@antwhuzhere5210]

Me too

[@fortheloveofnoise]

only a lunatic would listen to this with headphones 😂

[@71tofu]

I've been told that some of these sirens had a seat to manually control the throttle and turn speed on these, I can only imagine being the person behind it, knowing and dreading that you are the herald of a horrible death. What's more, knowing that it is your civic duty to keep this running until the all clear is sounded, or until you die. These relics were built for a purpose, and had they been upkept, likely could have performed it to this day. Those few that remain, from what I understand there are only three that still work, should never be fully decommissioned. They are a show of history, and a reminder of the fearful powers that rose during the second world war. A reminder of why war was, and shall always remain, such a terrifying thing.

[@PanduPoluan]

Wow... that's... amazingly emotional. "It's my forsworn duty to warn others so they can live, even if that means I will die."

[@amnchara1]

Well put

[@michaelbrown5838]

While I appreciate what you said, they came a little after World War 2.

[@71tofu]

@@michaelbrown5838 Fair enough, man, fair enough, I'm big enough to admit my error. Still, seats for manual control in a machine designed to say that if you get into cover you might not die right away during the nuclear age is still pretty sobering a thought.

[@Videogamer52100]

Yes, the earlier ones did have a seat to control the throttle. The later Chrysler in 1952-1953 had the option for landline activation.

[@Zewestcoaster]

I need this for the morning after my neighbours noisy house party.... Wakey-wakey! at 6:00am

[@safetydave720]

This is the BEST demo of the Chrysler anywhere, Thanks!

[@AntiqueRadiodoc]

Beautiful work you did. I heard these back in the day in Los Angeles county (last Friday of each month at 10:00 A.M. exactly, would be a 3 minute test). Believe it, they are LOUD!

[@williamj515]

Growing up in Burbank, California in the 60's, the city had one of those sirens on top of one of the buildings at the city operated power plant. The last Friday of every month at 10 am, the city and Los Angeles County would do the air raid siren tests. That siren was definitely heard above the others. They would spin, maintaining a constant high volume, so it would fade in and out as it spun around.

[@TurboDV8]

Now that's what I call a cliffhanger. Tell us you're going to go 6 or 7 miles away to see how loud it is from six or seven miles away, then end the video? You're killing me!

[@muddrudder2656]

I live near lake Erie. I would love to be able to see and hear your siren sir. I have an exponential love for history and these are a cool peice of it that dosnt get enough recognition.

[@basedmax9029]

You ever heard of eardrums? I haven’t. I haven’t heard anything after this.

[@danielgoodman3578]

I know it's been 7 years per KZbin, but if you're still alive and well, can you do a video of the 5-miles-away test?

[@topenddean]

I concur!

[@GoogleModerator]

As of 2020 I believe this was 17 years ago. Still would be nice to see/hear the distance video

[@Soccerdude7330Official]

You have VIDEO GOLD sir. Bless your soul for keeping this gem alive and sharing the experience with us all!!

[@FishFind3000]

that went from 0 to hero in 4.2 seconds!

[@tribecalledbenz727]

3:58 if you look to the right to where the video cuts off you can see the distortion from the sound coming from tis beast. wow

[@weston9106]

*The teenager in a Honda Civic at 3AM* : 3:05

[@jamesgovett2501]

Geez I can hear it all the way down here in Melbourne, Australia IoI! I’ve heard about these sirens on roofs of buildings in the USA and it’s just great to hear one especially powered by a Chrysler Hemi! 👍

[@Eights_Coronel-864]

I never thought that a car manufacturing company would build its own siren, heh, at least that's what I think

[@paulsmith5398]

Nice!!!! I am 90% deaf, so i wouldnt need hearing protection, but i could sure feel the good vibes!

[@Defconfx]

There are a couple of these left rusting away in the Los Angeles area, id love to wake one of these bad boys up. I found mantainance and servoce manuals online for them so if parts arent missing I can probably ha e one of these badboys howling in an afternoon even if it hasnt run in years! Once got a 61 jag runningthat hadnt turned over in 25+ years so this would be easy for me. Id love to hear and feel one of these in person!

[@Defconfx]

Cave Johnson sadly it was taken down before I could get there. If anyone knows where one of these monsters are located, im currently an aviation maint student and something like this would make an awesome resto project...

[@AwesomeDesertTrains]

Defconfx same

[@bkrbyex4339]

Defconfx you wanna know why they call it a "Chrysler" siren? they used a car engine, that actually runs on gasoline, to power it up enough, for it to sound off....HA!

[@bkrbyex4339]

Defconfx would love to see this thing on a WWII themed tour, or displayed in a local war museum. maybe on a float, (on a truck trailer,) in the local memorial Day parade, or on display, as part of the veteran's day festivities.

[@mandolinsara]

I think the one in Compton is still up on its pole. However It’s been a year or so since I’ve been out there.

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Finally the world’s most rare and the most noisy siren!

[@jakebabyak1492]

Leave it to America to make a V8 air raid siren.

[@jimmyguy428]

The Alert mode reminds me of the first "Silent Hill" game. Man, when that siren went off in the game it made hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and the chills!

[@samgarofalo2461]

25 mile range and on a turntable so that it has a 50 mile radius. And of course Big Daddy Don Garlits has one

[@e-57sven26]

Very Amazing This Big Chrysler Air Raid Siren! Love this Siren!

[@cowboy6591]

Now thats how you demonstrate a Chrysler siren!! Good Job.

[@thatonethattalksalot7656]

Would love to own one of these bad boys! Have it blasting on siren test days!

[@greghackney8437]

SPL meters have different weighted settings that suppress part of the frequency band resulting in lower level readings. I love that all of the parts are present.

[@tractormanmike1830]

Did anybody else notice that Chrysler is misspelled in the beginning.

[@ccfan81]

Too cool! How did you get your hands on that beauty?

[@Cemoman17]

I'm sure anyone who owns one of those things would never sell it.

[@mk420]

Now that's how you run it, well done!

[@United_HVAC_and_Fans]

Sounds like a STL-10 x1000. Awesome video man.

[@muddrudder2656]

last known location of one of these is in Chicago. on the library/administration building. from what i could dig up

[@iamgriff]

the way you guys are putting that old siren to work, I'd say you guys were mischievous children. Lol

[@electrichellion5946]

Derek Wall I would.

[@derekwall200]

@@electrichellion5946 i would too, that beast really howls at full chat. these in my opinion are loud enough for large cities but not very practical. there have been cases where they either wouldn't start due to cold weather or would catch fire and explode like one did in chicago some time back

[@RT42069]

2:11

[@infl]

Absolute unit thank god it was never used in a true emergency

[@FishFind3000]

wouldn't this be perfect for tail gaters! if only it haf remote start.

[@qu.richards]

Well... it DOES have an engine... So that's probably possible if you tweak some things on it a bit.

[@bkrbyex4339]

reverse thrust LOL!

[@bkrbyex4339]

Quentin Richards he didn't give it enough time, sounding off on the "attack" mode.

[@Videogamer52100]

Actually, the later versions of these sirens could be set off by phone line.

[@davidhorne9832]

You know it would be fun take that up to a long tunnel in the mountains and fire it off

[@seanjuth]

You should really demonstrate the rotation of the siren, as it was designed to do

[@Wildfire86872]

If it was me operating it I'd be wearing my War Pigs shirt I got when I went to see Sabbath's farewell tour, and inside my hearing protection wireless earbuds playing Electric Funeral.

[@rdfox76]

I love the comment I saw about this video on TSB: "I think the clutch on the Chrysler Air Raid Siren was a hydraulic one instead of a traditional dry plate clutch. BAD things happen when you drop a dry clutch at 4500 rpm."

[@TheMNrailfan227]

Sounds like a thunderbolt 1000 siren

[@siggyretburns7523]

The perfect solution for the turds that get behind you in traffic and relentlessly honk their horn. Their dentist will have a field day replacing fillings. Dentist: it seems you've lost a few fillings. Turd: WHAT? Dentist: I SAID ALL YOUR FILLINGS ARE GONE. Turd: YES, I ALMOST ALWAYS PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD..

[@MarcusToroian]

Incredible video! I remember you and your siren from at least a decade ago on the air raid sirens message board. I'm just down the road a ways in beautiful (HA!) Altoona. I think it would be interesting to see the truck driving by the camera with the Chrysler going full blast.

[@270crazyguy]

138 decibels at 100 feet (whistles) now thats a loud siren. i thought the thunderbolt and 2001 were bad!

[@slenderwizzard22]

I love this video!!

[@HD4lyfe]

I'm curious. How did the siren sound from 5 miles or wherever you said you were going? I was hoping to hear that too

[@bycuritiba]

it kind of sounds like a thunderbolt 1000 when winding down

[@electrichellion5946]

It’s time for a new video with newer camera and longer sound checks. Thanks in advance and more upon posting of said video.

[@cuda7133]

"WHAT??"

[@fredrikbengtsson4050]

Best neighbor ever 😂

[@RCAvhstape]

The only way to make this more of a Cold War thing would be to remove the V8 and replace it with some nuclear powered machine.

[@neodutch]

The only thing cooler than a Hemi is a blown Hemi.

[@ThunderboltSirenStudios]

I don't know if this veries from unit to unit but i heard a Chrysler Air Raid Siren that produced a max hz tone of 475-480. While yours only reaches 435-440 hertz. It could just be the way the engine has worn overtime. But idk.

[@lancomedic]
