Whelen's new "pedestrian moving" siren tones - Wail-C & Yelp-C - with and without Howler

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Whelen's programmable light & siren systems offer 2 (relatively) new tones - Wail-C and Yelp-C. And oh boy.. they hurt, especially the super high pitched wail! Those should be absolutely fantastic against stubborn pedestrians 😁 I recommend using speakers (and if possible a deep bass) for the best experience! 😄
This video was made in partnership with Blue Lights Berlin, the German Whelen distributor. His RUclips channel: / bluelightsberlin
The light and siren system on the BLB demo unit is a Whelen CenCom Carbide which has approximately 65 different (including country specific) siren tones.
Wail-C and Yelp-C are available with the Whelen Command software for the following light & siren systems:
- Cantrol WC - Gen 3 and Gen 2
- Carbide
- CenCom Core
- HHS3200 and HHS4200
- Sapphire
If you want to easily play around with custom lightbars, flash patterns and siren tones you can do so with the Whelen Command software which can be downloaded at the Whelen website (for free): www.whelen.com...

Saw a cop yesterday using this tone and it was crazy effective, it hurt my ears even
that should get their attention when their ignoring units trying to get through an intersection, well done,
Would be awesome if they came up with a way to do a field upgrade on older models so they don’t have to replace everything at a higher expense.
Are you referring to a certain model? I’ve recently added a few newer features / workarounds to a customers HHS4200 file and I can also add the Wail-C tone. Whelen provides updates to older systems through the Command software. It all depends on what system and functions we’re talking about.
@@Rummeltobiyeah I mean if they’re talking a HFS295, that’s basically asking for warranty support for a Nintendo 64
I suppose this must be very useful in NYC.
Hopefully Federal Signal would come up with some new tones like this for NYPD.
Hopefully NYPD will just change to the better lights & sirens brand 😜
@@Rummeltobi I'm more a Federal Signal guy than Whelen guy. Don't get me wrong, Whelen is a fairly great company for manufacturing practical warning equipments but in my opinion Federal Signal makes better sirens and rotator lights for most of the time.
@@toreou From my experience from 12 years I'd say that Whelen has by far the best warning lights. Although I can understand that people like Federal Signal for some unique lighting products like the Valor. Back in the rotator and strobe days there were plenty of interesting manufacturers. Nowadays everyone switched over to LED's. You can actually create halogen, rotator and strobe effects with Whelen lights. As for sirens: taste is very different but Federal Signal always had their unique tones that people would remember over decades. There are plenty of FedSig sirens that I like but I'm also a huge fan of numerous Whelen sirens and especially Whelen's fully programmable Core light & siren system which is just one of the best inventions in the emergency vehicle light & siren market.
@@Rummeltobi I believe NYPD is just whelen and fedsig (the vision SLR) on a SSP3000
Rumblers are also effective against cars too
reminds me of the siren's tone patlite SAP-520
You mean the "Traffic jam" tone? The "Intersection" tone?
Or the manual Wail/Coast?
Intersection and traffic jam tones. The new ambulances and firetrucks in japan use this for alerting the vehicles that they approaching at high speeds
Legend has it, those lights dont actually make the sound. It's the siren and speaker.
People don't know that sirens are sounds not lights😅😅
Oh no kidding. Every time people say “yeah I saw the sirens up ahead” I’m always thinking “What kinda mushrooms did you take that you can see sounds?” 😂
I wonder what it would sound like if default wail and wail c were played together
Play this video and that in paralel: ruclips.net/video/1NvVjwSnMbw/видео.htmlsi=yH7_pSBW8DWpaZHE&t=3
Aweasome! ;)
Whelen has a market in Italy? I have heard and seen the Ford Ranger demo which had the Italian two tone
You can buy Whelen all around the world but I don't know who's selling it in Italy. There's usually a distributor that's responsible for the sales in the country. The most amazing Italien emergency vehicle with Whelen lights & sirens is this one: ruclips.net/video/ckHl49PzAuc/видео.html
Whelen has multiple Italian sirens on their programmable systems. Those systems have a total of around 65 - 70 different (including country specific) siren tones 😁
Bloody hell
Japanese ambulance and fire engine siren sound
Also diese Signale dürften jeden noch so in sein Handy vertieften, Musik hörenden oder einfach ignoranten Fußgänger aufwecken. Die Töne sind ja absolut nervig, im positiven Sinne, denn das macht ja den Effekt, den sie haben sollen aus ;)
Richtig, durch den Howler spürt man es auch gut. Das wail ist auch mega unangenehm, wenn man davor steht. Sollte sich besonders gut auch bei denjenigen eignen, die denken, dass man unnötig noch direkt vor einem Einsatzfahrzeug gemütlich über die Straße laufen kann. 😁
What model of whelen lightbar is that?
This is a Whelen Legacy DUO
In Pakistan our highway patrol have legacy bars on their cruisers
They are extremely bright really impressive but i think its a very bad distraction they literally blinding even in night mode, emergency lights shouldn't be above 10,000 candelas, they should be between 8000 to 10,000 just my opinion
What? 😮 I'm extremely surprised to read that and to see that this is true! Thank you very much for telling this! I'd have never expected that. Do you know if they're using the programmable WeCan version?
All they'd have to do is set/ program a low power option to the lightbars which reduces light intensity. Theoretically, this could be hooked up to the headlights so that the lightbar automatically dims when the headlights are on or via the use of the light sensor (if Highway Patrol in Pakistan ordered them with the Legacy lightbars). Turning off some LED modules would be another option to (further) decrease any blinding effects at night.
@@Rummeltobi thats cool! But i dont think they are wecan models,
Is it possible to do that on non wecan?
@@thunderbear0 The problem with non-WeCan Whelen lightbars is that you can't program them. They're analog and basically all you can do is change flash patterns via a cable. Do you work for highway patrol in Pakistan?
I do offer programming services and assistance with the choice of lights & the light layout and I'm always happy to help people and agencies. In case you/ anyone who reads that has interest, I can also be contacted via email: RTobiYT@gmail.com
@@Rummeltobi no i dont work for them but I'll keep your email, if i get a chance to meet with highway patrol officials or their outfitters I'll talk with them about you
We also have whelen dealership, probably they have wecan stuff in stock but i dont know, that dealer ship is like 800km away from me, and another problem is, here outfitters and highway patrol officials have almost no knowledge about lights and their technology, they are like its whelen its bright its quality its good without knowing what's the potential or functions these bars have and can do, and now every highway user hate these patrol cars lol
@@thunderbear0 Thanks!
Who knows, maybe they'll buy WeCan lightbars (or even WeCanX & Core systems) in the future. Although programmable WeCan lightbars and maybe HHS4200 systems would already be absolutely exceptional for Pakistan. It's unfortunate that officials and even installers don't have much actual knowledge about lights and sirens but this is a problem that I'm seeing all around the world. There's so much potential and so many safety benefits with WeCan and other programmable Whelen systems.
I mean given the circumstances, it's better to be slightly "blinded" by those lights at night and seeing those vehicle from miles during sunny days than not seeing stopped police vehicles which are equipped with invisible Asian lights with questionable quality 😄
K5 la train horn works good for everybody.
Yes, especially because every vehicle has air horns installed.
circle! !! It's a really high-pitched siren! 😳!! It's [WHILEN]!☺
Moreover, the siren is up and the change is amazing in blue, orange, and white!😳
AHHHHHHH WHELEN RUMBLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
FANTASTIC CATCH!!
It’s not a Rumbler, it’s a Howler. The Howler is the Whelen competitor to the Federal Signal Rumbler.
What light bar is that
Whelen Legacy
@@Rummeltobi I like it it’s very sleek
@@BraidenskiNAE It sure is! I really like that bar! Although my favorite still is the Liberty II 😄
@@Rummeltobi I like the justice because that’s what my dad was issued before he retired
@@BraidenskiNAE The Justice is a great bar too! Cost efficient while still providing really good warning output.
Why? If they won't move for regular tones, why do they think they'll move for these? Looks like a solution in search of a problem.
Because this siren hurts. If you're in front the emergency vehicle as a pedestrian you automatically want to cover your ears and hope that the noise disappears quickly. Otherwise the siren feels like somebody is directly whistling into your ears. it's the shrill sound and the frequency of the long wail that makes you go 'eeeeeww' and this is why I believe that this tone will make pedestrians move - probably not all but at least much more than normal sirens would. Try it yourself. Use good loudspeakers on your computer, turn the volume up so that the siren tone is really loud and listen to it.
There are enough stupid and ignorant pedestrians but that depends on the area/ city/ country too. Generally spoken pedestrian traffic in Europe for example is much higher than in the US. Then again there are hundreds of videos from NYC where you see people calmly walking in front of responding emergency vehicles. I would love to see anyone trying this tone vs. pedestrians because only this will give both of us a solid answer 😁
@@Rummeltobi Sadly I tested it, my ears are bleeding.
Like the Rumbler gives you a headache, this makes your ears hurt. It even made my hurts cuz I got good speaker on my phone
Thats a strange whelen
Rip there ears
Gross that sounds crazy 😂😂
Rumblers!
Federal Signal calls their low frequency siren speakers Rumbler, Whelen calls their Howler 😉
@@Rummeltobi Either way it’s kickass to hear
A B&M Super Chief does a much better job than these peanut whistles.
Compared with the Super Chief, the Wail-C hurts much more in your ears and is great to make pedestrians move.
