ATTENTION: The bonus custom signals ARE NOT OFFICIAL SIGNALS, they are made up by me. I thought it'd be fun to imagine what other signals these could have.
Theres one in rotterdam that was once used for a chemical leak (Elektror s3b) The elektrors only work in rotter dam cuz i believe its the only place where the old siren network is
Fun fact: The "Warning tone" in the video is the duration used for monthly tests. In an actual emergency, the tone is supposed to go on for longer. The "Test tone" is most often used after maintainence to see if the drivers are working, and is officially called "Technical Test Alarm". The custom tones are very interesting by the way.
In the Netherlands we don't say: "ah just a monthly test, nothing to worry about." We actually say: "Hey Dirk, de Duitsers komen je halen!" Or even better: "Ballenalarm!" A small number of people who have an office job would say: "ik zit zomaar te denken, stel dat er nu echt oorlog is?" Overall, how scary this siren sounds, we actually don't care. Until we receive an NL-alert. (maybe)
They are made by siemens. Under allowance from federal signal. Federal signal got paid by siemens for using their blueprints. They can’t just ship 3000 modulators from the US to NL so that’s why they were have to be produced by siemens.
@@Dogappel I'm not sure where they were made, but Federal Signal definetely has helped Siemens. Some newer units have the FS logo on them, so those units are more likely to be made by Federal Signal themselves. Btw, there are at least 4200 Modulators in the Netherlands.
Denmark has re-badged Whelen sirens sold by the company HSS. Israel has re-badged ATI sirens sold by the company Shamrad. I assumed the Netherlands had a similar deal with Federal Signal, in which the Modulator was re-badged under Siemens? EDIT: And the bonus custom signals ARE NOT OFFICIAL SIGNALS, they are made up by me. I thought it'd be fun to imagine what other signals these could have.
The maintenance contract that the Dutch government has with whatever maintenance organization they use ends in 2025. From what I've seen, they are considering not renewing the contract and just disabling the siren system. Just search "Dutch air raid sirens" on Google and you are likely to see a couple news headlines detailing this.
@@SirenArchives Just an update on that. The Dutch parliament recently voted against the discontinuation of these sirens. There were plans to disable them by 2025 but they are staying from what I've heard. I can get you a news source if you want. Nice to see the interest in these Dutch FS Modulators :)
@@DusKinggoGames That's good to hear! I'm wondering if they plan to keep the same sirens around or if they are planning to upgrade them.... the sirens are currently around 26 years old!
@@SirenArchives Yes haha. They are definitely showing there age. We'll see what the government decides in the coming years. Also an interesting fact about this modulator. There is another sound which sounds more like a buzzer alarm that goes off when the siren is malfunctioning. A public primary school once had to listen to that for nearly three hours after one of the sirens broke down after one of the monthly tests I believe!

These always have the weirdest tones ever, it sounds more scary
Hi-low alert 💀
Thanks from the Netherlands!
The ascending tone sounds like a f1 car slowly speeding up til it explodes

You missed one: "12 uur, lunchtijd!"
5:39 sounds like Mineola
now thats an eerie synth!!
Litterly there is one standing right next to my home!!
l netherlands
delightful
Btw the first tone
they only have
Always on 1st Monday from the mond always on 12:00 am it test don't be scared if you hear it on 12:00 am or later
I think hearing it past 12:30 would scare the living daylights outta me.
12:00 PM you mean
Cause if you hear this at 12:00 , aka Midnight, then you better hope you are up real soon
I think these are custom modulators because the mounts look different
ONLY the controllers are modified, the rest of it is all fake(knockoff)

The amplifiers are produced by FS themselves

The siren when Netherlands Floods
Correction: This is not a real FS, this is a copy ONLY controller is modified but real,
why does the alternate steady tone high sound like a EOWS??

Aand off corse those dual tone sound and a all clear tone😊
@@hansoverbeeke5442 yea
@@SirenArchivesthere are more tones tho I might still have a recording
Not sure why I clicked this, just did
why does the low pitch one sound like a 1003
Alternate attack sounds like t bolt 1003
Alternate Attack sounds like siren head 💀
Steady lone tone sounds like an annoying mosquito.
What are the most
cool video
imagine if the Dutch sirens had these noises xd
they do
They actually do. That's literally their alarm/attack signal. And it's highly unsettling.
@@EifelBlaulichtTV I think he means the bonus tones, which are made up.
@@borkluchtalarm yes
Siemens makes sirens?
Not sure, but I've seen a picture before of one of these sirens with a SIEMENS logo on it. I guess SIEMENS helped develop the siren controller?
Siemens also makes fire alarms, so it isn’t that surprising
@@SirenArchives They did indeed develop the controllers if I remember correctly.
@@SirenArchivesthey just modified the Federal Signal MC controller
They stole the stupid Wheelock ZNS.@@jordyvt08
Netherlands
Why would they fall silent? Would be nice to have a description as to why instead of saying they will.
