  • NOTE: IM NOT ORIGINAL OWNER
    re-uploaded this video from a user deleting the video months ago and never uploaded again.
    only modification i did was i added a little slideshow of the Victory siren, all from google images.
    I do not own any copyright images in this video
    you will have a best shot at actually hearing this thing in either car shows, or civil defense museums. i dont know if any private collector owns one yet
    SOME INFO: gas powered 331 Hemi V8 180HP, (134.2KW) back then, cost only $5000, 2006 that amount is around $35000, effect range on this siren is over 4 miles in radius,(other siren's effect range is on average 1.5 miles radius, sometimes 2 miles if your lucky) it can be heard up to 30 miles radius on a perfect day.(60 miles in diameter)
    the entire chassis, engine and siren head rotates, 1 /1/2 rpm with the help of a turntable, weighs 3 tons, 138dB at 100 feet (178dB@ 1 foot), loudest siren ever created! manufactured in 1952-1957 by Chrysler.
    this has a built in 3-stage centrifugal compressor, sending over 2,610 cubic feet of air a minute at 7psi(thunderbolt is 250CFM@6.5psi) through the chopper. very surprising, the chopper is 22.5 inch diameter, surprising eh? the air leaving the siren has the velocity of 400MPH!!! thats fast!!
    more info on their website
    if you would like to learn more info on the victory siren, visit this awesome website
    www.victorysiren.com/x/index.htm
    this is a simulation if this siren was located in any large city, and listen to that echo!
    enjoy :)

    My mom grew up in Detroit during the 1950s when these were in the city as the official siren. Detroit and chicago was the major manufacturing hub for the military, and thus was one of the first targets the Soviet government would hit with ICBMs.
    She would always tell me how scary it was, having to go into the basement of her school to practice the air raid drill. When I found this I told her about it, and being curious she asked me to show her. We played this on our home theater, and it scared the living hell out of her. "Yep. That's the one." She told me. I was worried that I gave her a panic attack.
    Then my aunt came over and my mom had me play it for her to scare the crap out of her. She laughed when my aunt got scared.
    Thank you for preserving the haunting sound of the past.

    Everyone notive most are powered by the Chrysler 392 C.I.D.Hemi V-8 engine?
    As a person who grew up during the cold war, these siren tests were quite chilling, children were fully aware they signaled a nuclear attack. The sound of this siren brought back memroies of ducking under my deask in school not knowing if I would ever get back up again. Unlike today, there was no mass alert to the testing, it occured the first Wednesday of each month. Accidental activations happened from time to time and would really set you teeth on edge. So the prevailing wisdom dictated if you hear them, take cover. The video brought all the unease and apprehinsion back as if yesterday. Odd that, after all these years of not hearing one.

      Oh yes! You DID understand. The reason you continued to crawl under you desk for the drill, was if you did not, the teacher or principal would smack you with a ruler! None the less, during the cold war, when you lived in a city with a major air force base on one side of town, and missile launch facilities on the other side of town, (both ICBM and defensive missiles,) not to mention all the television shows and movies on the topic, you knew that if the big button was pushed, and when the sirens went off for real, it was going to be the end of life as we knew it. You understood it, but did not dwell on it. Life went on. I guess you just had to be there...

    @steadfast4159 8 лет назад +44

    To me that is the sweetest sounding siren ever, let alone the loudest. It could be heard 5 miles away when wrapped up full RPM. The Hemi engine was needed due to the torque of winding up those huge siren blades in that housing. Thus a high torque engine to place its full power to the blades to achieve its volume and full potential. I remember the Cuban Missile crisis very well. While we tried to live normal lives, we were on edge thinking that Cuba could or would launch missiles at us and start WWIII. Sirens like these were specific to making a lot of noise and alerting hundreds of thousands of people at the same time. Great video by the way. Thank you for having it on You Tube. It is a full testament to days gone by. But, maybe the way things are going, they may make them again.

    Growing up in Los Angeles in the ‘60’s we would hear these being tested fairly regularly. No matter which way you turned your head you would hear a siren at a different pitch. The echos were ominous. When I got older and understood what they were (duck and cover until age 8 was all we knew), I remember a teacher telling us that if we ever heard them go off at a non-scheduled time, we had less than 10 minutes left to live. Some kids laughed. Some got it. It’s a sound you never forget.

      Joanne Stealey these were wired up to a single control center, kinda like the modern tornado sirens today.
      So all you need to do is wire up the ignition to the signal wire for your average tornado siren and your good to go.

    I had hoped never to hear that sound again. Still brings a shiver down my spine and brings back the deep dread I remember feeling when it went off in the 1980's. We weren't told that it was a test back then, not like you did here, but the those same feelings live on. God help us all if it's ever used for real. Thanks for sharing.

    @phonebackup8132 3 года назад +1

    I grew up with one of these 8 miles away. It's not so much the reverb and echo, and you got that nailed, but its the shear volume, acoustic energy. Here in the south with the humidity the Chrysler horn would make it rain just in front of the horn, literally the sound pressure would squeeze rain out of the air in front of the horn.
    The other thing is that the mass of the rotating mass of the horn pluss the rotating mass of the entire thing ment that the time it took to rev up or down was slower much slower than what you emulated.
    Still, the images you show are cool.
    As a acoustic engineer and mopar fan this was great.
    Thanks.

      In all honesty the carter sounds good as hell and we have one on a water tower
