Rumbler: An alert you can 'feel'

Marissa Bagg reports

[@PatriotAr15]

Cyberpunk 2077 police vehicles have sirens that I suspect are inspired by the rumbler. When I worked EMS, we had them in some of our trucks.

[@ovfbekw5467]

I was looking for a siren used irl like the one in cyberpunk. I saw your comments in both this video and the cyberpunk one lol

[@outrider8569]

That comment brought me here I love the idea of this also I love the sound of them in Cyberpunk

[@calebosborn2231]

I heard this siren first during a neighborhood shooting. I lived in a complex about 1/8 mile from the neighborhood and the only reason I knew about it was because of the vibration of 20+ rumblers going off at the same time.

[@emrilbennett8704]

Bet that was intense!!

[@Zodibear]

They can abuse it….

[@CuthbertNibbles]

Sirens today are so loud, they are harmful to human hearing. They're made this way because cars are built sound-proof, to shut out the noise of other cars, so the sirens have to be loud enough for drivers to hear them. To me, it's mind-blowing how hostile towards humans cities are, to make them more comfortable for drivers. It's like we've forgotten that humans live in cities and have focused entirely on catering to traffic.

[@humidifier8914]

Thank car lobbyists lmao

[@_BangDroid_]

Wont be that way for much longer, we wont be driving cars soon, they'll be autonomous and emergency vehicles will be able to communicate with smart grids to path find

[@jamsya493]

I HATE CAR DEPENDENCY!!!!

[@Kim-Ju-Ae]

It doesn’t hurt that bad

[@CuthbertNibbles]

@@Kim-Ju-Ae the threshold for pain is far above the threshold for damage, so if it hurts at all, it's causing damage.

[@youraveragejoe1]

Yep the rumble siren is the best siren to me. Not too loud but easy to tell where it’s from and gets your attention

[@titynac]

Man that's great, Always enjoy watching and hearing the sirens of the police and fire trucks and ambulances zoomin past, prayers to the ones they go to help ofc.

[@Tatical141]

that siren is now iconic (for me) in NYC

[@ariespisiti4220]

They probably still yield faster in other countries where they only have one type of siren (like European two-tone). You can give emergency services dozens of different sirens with different functions - if the drivers are ignorant.

[@alexkyte4093]

Yeah that's false

[@funkychunkgaming9738]

My I say no European country uses just two tones

[@canilogin1730]

In terms of being aware, yes. In terms of moving over, yeah America is half as Europe.

[@ikat_tracer]

@@funkychunkgaming9738 most of them do, either two tones or a variation of two tone, nothing like american sirens though, no wail, yelp or priority

[@PouLS]

Which country uses one siren only?

[@GoldenRing2023]

I wentto New York to visit Times Square and heard "The rumbler" siren, I literally feel it in my chest, It was an odd but amazing emergency response tool

[@coldramentpm1013]

i hear this sometimes they are funny

[@fruitbouquet5479]

I can sense that this might feel like a puberty voice crack for sirens.

[@gianpaologasparetto5288]

Italian police should use the rumbler siren😔 00:29, 00:43, 01:20, 01:40

Delray beach: Low frequency siren you can feel Me: “just wait till you hear a New York rumbler💀”

[@alexandersalarms5380]

actually, thats a whelen cencom, so its not the rumbler, its actually the whelen version of the federal signal rumbler, which is the whelen "howler"

[@jamescedricdavid6454]

What do you mean by this? Are they the same? Or the other one is better?

[@kel7149]

James Cedric David they are different siren brands, the “rumbler” is the trademarked siren like this. However, this is the Whelen “howler”. Not the same, they are both decent sirens. But this news company calls it the rumbler. Which it is NOT the rumbler.

[@jamescedricdavid6454]

@@kel7149 Oh... so there is really an original type of rumbler, which was FS right?

[@nathanielhardynatha7837]

@@jamescedricdavid6454 so the technical term is actually low frequency siren amplifier or low freq siren in short, rumbler is the product of this type by Federal Signal,whilst Howler is the product of this type by Whelen,both serve the same purpose but in this case as the operator is using a Whelen setup it is assumed that it is a howler

[@nathanielhardynatha7837]

FYI tho a rumbler is applicable on the cencom and other whelen siren amps

[@razvandobos9759]

Made by Federal Signal in 2007

[@TALKINGtac0]

Technology is so advanced. I'm wondering why we don't put an extra light right next to traffic signals. When emergency vehicles running code 3 approach it, it can start flashing or give some sort of indication that an emergency vehicle is coming from that direction

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

They dont need an extra light, they only need to all go RED. we all STOP. emergency vehicles can then filter themselves thru the red lights while everyone else is stopped.

[@TALKINGtac0]

@fhhsvnggbh Yeah but some people still try to beat reds. If they see their own light going red, they'll consider it a normal red and might blast through it without considering there might be an emergency vehicle.

[@Saucy-ws6jc]

@@TALKINGtac0 You think such idiots will listen to additional signals?

[@yusufazhar9542]

They have this exact thing in my state idk i think a lot of places use this technology there's a white flashing light when an emergency vehicle is coming

[@TALKINGtac0]

@Yusuf Azhar I live in California and i've never seen it anywhere. Glad to hear that your area implements it though! I hope it is keeping drivers safe

Low frequency sirens are not recognized as a lawful siren, therefore they are expensive noise makers

[@melvayaredaguilar]

is there different sounds for different events?

[@stevensedlis3901]

It augments the siren tone in use. Problem with regular sirens is that, if you are in a car with the windows rolled up, the stereo on and the AC blowing, I can come up behind you with a 200 watt siren and you wont hear it. But you can feel the Rumbler.
