- Flood sirens sounding in Hebden Bridge just before the river flooded into town. No serious damage done on this occasion as the rain stopped just as the river burst its banks , Thank God!
I wonder if the people who designed these sirens back in the pre-WW2 years knew that they would become legendary as producing the scariest siren tone ever. This sound can make a person's heart stop!
Holy moly! Imagine waking up and hearing that at three in the morning. Very eerie. Like WW2.
Jessie Lansdel lol I'd just sit there calm and just man up to the fact that I'm fucked either way
I Believe they are the Same Sirens that were Used in WW2 just Now Used for Flood Warnings.
That's a flood siren you wouldn't hear that for anything like an air raid.
Although it does sound like it's just a repurposed air raid siren.
omg ye
The mother of all Air Raid Sirens... the original and the best. Can imagine the very old having terrifying flashbacks of that noise.
We've definitely got the most mournful, terrifying, end of days air raid sirens in the whole world. British siren = spare underpants time.
That’s why Hollywood loves Carter Sirens so much…

Since they were once used during The Blitz, they give off a sense of dread greater than that of any American-made siren…

…and all because any disaster or war-related scene is practically soulless without them…

@@kirankumar9434 The first link is a commonly reused audio clip of A Federal Signal STH-10. Not around in WW2, but the second one sounded like a Gents or Carter siren
@@kirankumar9434 that first siren is a single tone vertical carter with a few mail box CLM sirens and on the 2nd vid they could be gents or carter sirens
@@kirankumar9434 the last vid is a bunch of synthed cold war 2T22s on 50 HZ as I can hear the lower major 3rd that are made to sound like British cold war or air raid sirens because fed 2T22s have a harsher sound than the british sirens because they have horns to project sound from the choppers. The only american sirens that are more scary are the mighty ACA ASC P50/135 and the ASC TEMPEST and the bigest sentry siren built today.
@@jezcolborne6329 tf are u talking about?
How eerie and chilling is that sound, made worse by how dark it is. Couldn't imagine living there but feel for the residents
i love the eerie sound of sirens
Me too
Hey I’ve seen you b4 on a tv license video
Britain really likes their 10/12 port sirens.
One of the most haunting sounds you could ever hear!
A truly eerie sound. Makes me shiver.
For those wondering they are the old air raid sirens,
(I live there btw)
These are SECOMAK X cold war sirens. But now a new NON AIR RAID KLAXON GP12 has been put up and taken over flood warning duty from the older SECOMAK GP8 in hebden bridge and it also sounds the attack signal but in a newer style because the motor is more powerful so it ramps up quicker and ramps down abit more faster
This is similar to what many of the tornado sirens sound like in the Midwest. I've waken up to this before.
They don't I'm guessing American Midwest siren but they are the Peng thunderbolt sirens
@@bonnieharris3701 Like the Brits stole everything else from the rest of the world to put in the "British" Museum? Sit down you twat, you can't "steal" a warning system.
@@byzantineempire5373the one. Heard in the video is a castle castings. The one similar in the USA is the 2T22
I used to live in Bradford from the 1980s to the 1990s which isn't too far from hebden Bridge. Being an 1980s child I wasn't aware of nuclear war until I was about 4 years old (a little early I know) but then again I did stumble on my dad watching the legendary bbc threads. Dad educated me about it all even though the rest of the family weren't so keen but I firmly believe it is a pretty important issue considering the world we live in right now.
Remember this day 😂 I was on the train going home from my party with BFF (we went to the cinema and Chinese buffet in Halifax) and we had to stop the train and start walking home in floods xD Best bday party ever 😂
Guessing they were sounded today as well?
Damn and I thought I was waking up to nuclear obliteration.
In this flood they where destroyed by the water and there was only one place to get food from and that was the town hall
Sounds like World War 2 air-raid sirens.
+Michael Douthitt you'd be right! Repurposed after the war!
they are they use them for floods now
That is exactly because the sirens ARE WW2 sirens.
These sound like Carter 1H's. They are dual tone though I dont know the ports, They sound a lot like Klaxon CS8s (Broadmoor sirens) and probably still activate over copper wire just like the Klaxon CS8s. Old USA WW2 Sirens usually also activated over telephone wire, however some sirens like Thunderbolt 1000s, 1000Ts, and 1003s did have the option to be active over radio.
The majority, if not all, of these sirens are Cold War repurposed. They make the same sound but are more modern so less likely to break. One or two appear tohave been replaced with newer sirens of the same type in recent years, looking at Google Street View.
@@LukiRudaka no they are not exactly ww2 sirens. These are cold war or newer sirens that sound the old attack warning
ATTACK WARNING RED!!
ATTACK WARNING RED!!
Fantastic video 😊
Advance to the flood shelters NOW this is a WARNING RED WARNING RED WARNING RED WARNING RED. FLOOD ATTACK FLOOD ATTACK FLOOD ATTACK SEEK HIGH GROUND NOW REPEAT SEEK HIGH GROUND NOW 😀
So when these went off in WWII, you would go and find shelter, what do you do in this instance?
Does it do an all-clear siren as well?
@p j Check you out... with your bad-self
No its just attack
Is it possible that after WW2 we have this sound genetically built into our brains and associate it with fear or warning. Such a scary noise, makes the hairs on my neck stand up.
most folk in hebden bridge are probably too stoned to even notice
They probably thought the aliens were coming.
Not even stoners anymore. They are middle class/rich southerners.
these sirens are sounding in attack i can tell by how they get high in sound then when the pitch drops
I swear to God that sound makes me so scared!!!!
You don't even have to swear to a pile of dog shit that it scares you. Its a natural association between the sound and death and destruction lol.
gazoozki same
Yes. I live here and the alarm is beastly.
Such a haunting sound 😧
This sound sends me back to that tragic November night in 1940. The night Coventry burned
Was it bombed?
@@alexandermakrianis Yes. It was.
@@tonybarde2572 I figured, those would have been scary times to live through.
@@alexandermakrianis The whole Cathedral was gutted
you were alive and there in 1940?
is that a klaxon cs8?
Not quite! This system comprises of Secomak GP8s, a Klaxon GP12 and a GP10 if I remember correctly. The GP8 is a CS8 with no shutters so you’re on the right track.
Imagine the elderly people with ptsd from the war hearing the siren again thinking there's an air raid
Jesus christ that’s the most terrifying siren system i’ve ever heard
Just image being a bobby walking along a street at night during the blitz and suddenly hearing these going off ... probably would almost have a heart attack
Oh God I remember this it was such a scary time I nearly lost my entire Farm
O my f god god bless you and friends that live there it’s like ww2
Sounds like an American Federal Signal 2T22, but lower. Scary!
That's because the uk sirens are 10/12 port just like the 2T22.
Wow, 4 p.m and already so dark?
welcome to Europe in winter
haunts my mother who went through the blitz.
Did they have to make it so scary? Good idea to have a siren though. They don’t have them at all in the country I live in.
holy shit the siren is enough to instill fear into anyone...
Sweet video, how are the sirens activated?
they are old ww2 air raid sirens so they had a handle on the back that was manually turned
no they arent they are electric???
These are 415 volt electric sirens running on three-phase supply at 2850rpm. They are most likely Secomak sirens as these were still manufactured up to the late 1960s. The two British WW2 siren makers were Gents and Carter. In the 1950s many sirens were produced by Castle Castings. The most common make was Secomak. For me, the Gents product was head and shoulders above the rest.
Yep, and they’re remotely activated through the Environment agency control room in Leeds.
@@paulmotion4096 do you have a siren fetish
>Not even 4 PM yet
>Already dark
Yep that's Britian
Nice CS8 ambiance!
Close! The system consists of multiple Secomak GP8s, a Klaxon GP12 and a GP10.
It 15:55 at the time i watched it and dam that looks dark
still the weirdest sound ever.. hear in in mytholmroyd
Sends shivers up my spine ugh.
Bro made a time machine and went back to ww2
“15:55pm”
Super Erie imagine
WW2 Air Raid Sirens
Cold war sirens
Sorry, that was meant for thee Sara : )
Those are carter siren
They are Klaxon/Secomak sirens, not Carters!
@@alarmmuseum hmm that thing looks like a carter siren
@@jumpscareagency6889 they have the same design
I have experienced the flood sirens before oof they were awful! There so loud and scary! They prevent you from sleeping.
Klaxon gp-8 I think. Or castle castings
wtf are you on about
Type of Siren, Klaxon is the brand and GP is a shutter type, the CS series, or coded shutter, are the type used at broadmoor
They are klaxon gp8 sirens at Broadmoor with solenoid shutters for the classic hi lo sound
Broadmoor uses CS8 (Coded Shutter) sirens; a GP8 (General Purpose) is the same siren without shutters fitted.
@@bog123 the darn sirens thats wtf he is on about so get off yah high horse and drink ya milk BUD
Creepy
Good way to give your grandpa PTSD
Carter only. Uk is luckly they keep there carters!
Those are Klaxon CS8 sirens.
Well technically no; CS8s have shutters, which these sirens don’t.
al66class59 true
Whoops! I should've known that.
@@al66class59 these are secomak gp8/12 sirens
WW2 in color
*Why sirens? Just send out flood and flash flood warnings!*
Because they are more better than texts as some older people dont have internet or phones so they need sirens
These wake you up much more than a txt.
What about the people who don't have a phone or TV?
Need some heavy rock guitar and drums over that......
Omg this siren honestly sounds really scary
