Illinois Valley Sirens

Добавлен 12 мар 2017
Welcome to Illinois Valley Sirens! You will see various videos of sirens all across the state of Illinois. I usually won't upload much due to siren tests being monthly, and having to deal with personal life issues. Whenever I can, I will record sirens and upload videos of them! I am also a fire alarm enthusiast, if that interests you, then make sure to check the links below.

Whelen Vortex - Alert | Spring Valley, IL | 12/3/24
Following last month's awful experience, I was hoping for a much better one today. Thankfully, besides being stupidly cold out, the weather was pretty decent. I filmed this same vortex back in November of 2020 with a terrible phone video, so I figured I'd revisit it with the PowerShot. Before this thing fires up and distorts my camera mic, you can hear several surrounding whelens and a 2001 from Peru. Interestingly enough I could hear DePue's E-Classes 10 minutes before test time. This definitely isn't healthiest vortex out there, as you can hear a bit of popping and hissing from the drivers, but it sure carries far as I can hear it nearly 5 miles away from where I live. I apologize for t...

Extremely Sick Federal Signal 2001-SRN - Death Alert | LaSalle, IL | 11/5/24
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.Месяц назад
This is without a doubt the worst video I've done. I wasn't expecting much either because of how absolutely terrible the weather was. It had been rainy and windy for nearly 10 hours straight and it just started stopping right at test time. I set up my camera in the back seat of the car and held it which is why it's so damn shaky. In hindsight, it really wasn't a good location either. The bigges...
ASC T-128 - Short Alert | Newark, IL | 10/1/24
Просмотров 5402 месяца назад
I've planned on filming Newark for a while now, but I didn't know which siren to go to. I was originally going to record the thunderbolt, but its location isn't great so I went for this T-128. I was under the impression that Newark tested for 3 minutes in alert as they always did in the past, but it seems that must've changed recently. I was a little bummed by the short test, but hey, still gla...
Federal Signal Eclipse 8 - Alert | Utica, IL | 9/3/24
Просмотров 853 месяца назад
Well after last month's miserable failure, I decided to stick local this time. Not wanting to hear another 2001, I went to the most diverse siren near me which is this Eclipse 8. I made a huge mistake underestimating this thing as it was ear piercingly loud. I don't think my camera liked it either as just listening back to this video hurts my ears, so it might be a good idea to lower your volum...
Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T (Siren #2) - Alert | Pontiac, IL | 7/2/24
Просмотров 3345 месяцев назад
Finally, my first successful siren test in almost a year! Anyway, unsure of where to go, I quickly decided on Pontiac since I knew their system was reliable enough. I was originally going to go to siren #8, which is a 2T22, but it failed a few months back so I decided on this thunderbolt instead. This is siren #2 in the system, located at Jaycee Park. This thunderbolt is somewhat infamous for s...
Quick Thunderbolt Update & Tour | Lacon, IL | 6/19/24

On this day I was originally planning on going to Dixon, IL to photograph their sirens, but a quick change of plans made me decide to go check up on Lacon. I have known for quite some time that 2 of the 3 thunderbolts in Lacon have been replaced, so I've been wanting to know if the final remaining thunderbolt got replaced or not. I'm not sure how long Lacon has been thunderboltless, I can only ...
Fedelcode Model 5 AGAIN - Noon Blast | Tonica, IL | 8/1/23
Просмотров 2686 месяцев назад
Yes, another repeat siren video, although this one was needed in my opinion. My olderish video of this siren definitely needed an improvement as the footage was really shaky and poor. This one turned out a little better, albeit not perfect, but oh well. This was just another last minute decision to visit Tonica for an extra siren test. ~Testing Schedule~ Sirens in Tonica are tested on the first...
Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T AGAIN - Double Alert | Toluca, IL | 8/1/23

Wasn't even sure if I was going to upload this one, but eh why not? Yes, I know another Toluca video of the exact same thunderbolt, and I do apologize for repetitiveness as that's not something I strive for. I only recorded this again because my spirits were really down and I wasn't feeling well that day, so I figured a bolt would cheer me up a bit. If I do Toluca again, it will be a different ...
Federal Signal 2001-130 - Alert | Peru, IL | 7/4/23
Просмотров 1076 месяцев назад
Another older video here. This is Peru's other 130, which replaced a thunderbolt around 2015-2016. I was initially concerned about this test since it was on a holiday, that being the 4th of July, but there was nothing to worry about. If I know anything about Peru, they will always test unless conditions are really, REALLY bad. ~Testing Schedule~ Sirens in Peru are tested every first Tuesday of ...

Boy has it been a while! Wasn't entirely sure if I was going to return to this channel, but after seeing it start to gain some attention again I decided the time was right. Anyway here's a quite old video from back in January of 2023. Had nowhere to go, so just went to a nearby 2001. The Weather was pretty bad on this day from what I remember. ~Testing Schedule~ Sirens in Peru are tested every ...
Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T - Double Alert | Toluca, IL | 7/5/22
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 года назад
I can only say a recent visit to Toluca gave me the motivation to record one of their sirens for at least the 5th time now. For this time specifically, I chose this thunderbolt because it's the only siren in the system that doesn't have issues. Every other siren on Toluca's system has had at least one problem for quite a while now. I should mention too, ever since I got my PowerShot, I've wante...
Federal Signal Model 2 - Noon Blast | Tonica, IL | 7/2/22
Просмотров 4362 года назад
Pretty much the same story here with Peru's new 130. That story being ever since I found out that Tonica replaced the darley with a brand new model 2, I had to get a video as soon as possible. This was definitely inevitable due to how awful the darley sounded, as it eventually developed pitch fluctuations while still being underpowered. I really like how clean this new model 2 sounds, but lets ...
Federal Signal 2001-130 - Alert | Peru, IL | 6/7/22
Просмотров 7652 года назад
My first 130! The original plan was to re-record the thunderbolt that used to be here, but ever since I discovered that this 130 replaced the thunderbolt not long ago, I knew I had to record it eventually. Definitely didn't disappoint, although not being as loud as I expected, still a very enjoyable test overall! I was surprised to see that they tested a minute early too, usually its 10 on the ...
Has Peru Finally Done it? - Thunderbolt Siren Update | Peru, IL | 5/31/22
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.2 года назад
Yes, they have finally done it haha. The story goes back a few months ago when I drove by Peru’s thunderbolt for a checkup, but noticed something out of the ordinary. Peru’s old leaky thunderbolt had finally been 130’d. It was quite obvious it was getting replaced by a 130 so no suspense there, but to be honest I wasn’t expecting it to be replaced so fast. Still, I’m quite proud of Peru for fin...
Federal Signal Model 7 - 6 P.M. Blast (Audio Only) | La Moille, IL | 4/16/22
Просмотров 3102 года назад
Since I have time off for spring break, I thought I’d finally give this siren a try. Unfortunately I was only able to get audio due to me arriving late as well as lack for a good spot to record. The siren activated at around 6:03, and I had thought I wasn’t going to get anything from it, but thankfully it paid off. I may try to get actual video footage of this siren later on, as I will make sur...

R.i.p those batteries
Sounds like asc and it keeps spinning while windown make me feel like its not made by asc because I see the fs logo
As A Grandfather would say, It's probably just low batteries, If one goes dead, the whole thing doesn't work. I really hope they can come by and at least replace the batteries. Maybe they can run the siren on AC Power the next time they go dead. For sirens, they will just get lower in pitch until they can no longer scream. This is what happens when they don't have the sirens switch to AC Power when the batteries get low.
Funny thing is, just about every other 2001 on the system besides one or two others is a 2001AC unit.
@@ILValleySirens the others Never had batteries from day 1 that's for sure.
Looks like we both went to Whelens this month. Nice nice
Dying 2001 wants to be a T128
It also spins while windown
Been waiting to see a spring valley recording!
It tried to be a p-15
On Dead Batteries, It Failed miserably.
Or a asc
It’s not doing that squeal. Well obviously because it’s very sick
why do all of these 2001 sirens break
Like Everything on this planet, they get old and eventually fail.
Ouch
Dang that sounds like a dying ASC T-128
defiantly the batteries
This is the true sickest 2001
Despite the recording being not the greatest, it's still interesting to see how bad the siren is doing.
It at least tried to start up.
I forgot to tell you that some sirens use batteries some don’t
Well yes, just about every siren around here doesn’t. This one does, they are old and they are extremely dead.
It's probably time for them to be refurbished, With add-ons like the ability to switch to AC Power when the batteries go dead. Those that don't have batteries will need batteries in the event of the loss of AC power. I really wouldn't want them to go yet. You Know what they say, It's better to repair than replace. Even with one sign of life left, they can be back up and running with TLC and Refurb.
You’re saying what are batteries or batteries are just about for everything you use that’s all I know A lot of things use batteries these days there’s batteries in electronics devices, like your phone, your pad wherever you computer laptop, just about everything you can think of Does that answer your question what a battery is
Sounds like it the batteries are about shot.
sounds like an ASC T-128 and an airplane flying by.
@@Shelbybrother12 True, I hear T-128s all the time and it's easy to compare with a plane. Rsh-10bs sound like a helicopter propeller that is high pitched
truee
oof
What are batteries?
Whoooooooooosh
Yo do you remember a fella named adrian
I do indeed
@@ILValleySirensits me
@@SNIXCbeen a while ay
@@ILValleySirensyeah its been since i changed discord accounts lmagfao
@@ILValleySirensgimme your disc its been a long time
Holy crap
I’ve wonder if it’s the same Thunderbolt that was from Dwight bc it sounds the exact pitch before it got replaced by a FS 2001. Not sure if they relocated it or if this Thunderbolt has been there already for long time.
This bolt and all the others have been in Pontiac for a while as far as I’m aware. I was told a while ago they were from a different system originally but I forgot unfortunately. There’s a 15 year old video of this exact bolt malfunctioning.
Tbis is my home town
Glad to see this thing finally filmed.
Looks like that was the last video of Toluca's old system... ever. They got two new 14Vs yesterday, everything else is disconnected and pending removal.
It was needed tbh. I’ll be one of the first to film their new system I’m sure.
@@ILValleySirens Late reply but I'll be there as well. You planning on filming the southern 14V?
Boi that is a crusty model 5
Wait she rotate now?
This thing’s been long gone now.
@@ILValleySirens damm
The man, the myth, the legend, has returned. Awesome video, good thing we have an up-to-date recording of this thing now
Thanks man, I appreciate it!! This one definitely needed a good video. Heck, most of them do.
salter park
Finally a good video of this!!
Lacon’s old 1003 of many examples of how replacing Thunderbolts with 2001s can actually be a very good thing
They made the right choice. 🤤
Hey at least its rotating.
That’s why I go to this one. It’s the only one that has rotated consistently. All the other ones are probably still broken idk.
Awesome!!
Great video!
Welcome back!
YAY.
Try to catch that b series 1000T
I really want to, but it’s been turned off for years. Still nobody knows why its been like that.
Tomorrow i am going to the fedelcode. Then, next time i have a day off im visiting this model 2. Then after that ill finally visit the sterling m5
