My hometown has some of those sirens as well. I first heard their Westminster Chime when I was 6, and an hour later, they did the siren test which made me jump and yell "The bells are dysfunctional!" Great vid!
It's actually not out of tune. It's a harmonizing full westminster chime melody. you're hearing 2 tones at once, but the lower tone seems to over power the higher.
My hometown of Irving, TX has about 19 of those EOWS 612 sirens around town and they used to ring those Westminster Chilmes at 12 Noon every day until a few of those in the Valley Ranch District got replaced by a few 2001-130s...and to tell the truth after the last Tornado Warning we had, the EOWS*612s lasted longer than the 2001s after a solid 15 minutes running them.
That particular siren has been replaced with a Whelen Vortex. As far as this siren which is at Crites Rd. between US 23 and Court St, I can check whether or not it's still there next week.
0:03 Me: Unwithered Freddy! Unwithered Freddy: What? Me: I'm Have Something New Next To My House. 0:04 *Siratone 612 Westmimster Chimes* Unwithered Freddy: WHAT THE?! WHAT IS THAT NOISE?! IS THIS A TORNADO WARNING?! Me: Unwithered Freddy, No Panicking! It's Just Siratone 612 Siren Test! *Siratone 612 Stops Sounding* Unwithered Freddy: Oh, Siratone 612. But, Where's Is It? Me: Next To My House. Watch. Unwithered Freddy: Wow! Cool.
So apparently different EOWS* 612's sound different during the Westminster Chimes due to a different control module? I like the way this one sounds. I don't know if it is an older one or not, but I really like how distorted and bold it sounds compared to other 612 videos I've seen doing the same signal.
That's pretty ingenious. We have 8 drivers and an amp in our bell tower here to produce other sounds with the bells, and it's honestly not too much different, other than the fact that it's not quite as loud and doesn't rotate, of course.
Haha. Gotta love the test sounds. Reminds me of the tornadoes through Perry, Pickaway, Fairfield, Athens, and hocking counties this past year. I was at OCU in Circleville during that and watched the funnel clouds come down and shoot abck up.
My town only sounded this once for a severe Thunderstorm warning but now they do it for all Clear and for the end of the test our test is the standard siren and the all Clear is this
please tell me that isn't the standard siren alert tone for tornados... I know in Oregon their Tsunami alert tone or something like that is a cow moo'ing. lol
I know this isn't the real tornado tone, but... it would be fekkin creepy if it was... I don't know about anyone else, but if a tornado is coming, I don't want to hear something jolly...
@AERODYNAMICMICROSOFT The Thunderbolt in Attack is my ring tone...guarantee when it "goes off" no one else looks at their phone!! Which brings to mind an old George Carlin routine...what if the bell on the phone was a siren instead? "Quick!! Catch it before it peaks!!"
Yea, I think that is a nice way to test the sirens without disturbing the public with an actual siren wail. Then again, knowing what the siren actually sounds like helps you condition into tuning in when it is real.

Great vid!
and here we have the scariest tone of all Westminster chimes
Ethan Davies it's actually quite comforting to me. EOWS sirens that still play these chimes are extremely rare now :( EOWS, you will be missed.
totally agree, the eows sucks with westminster chimes
Mr mars why this is so scary? :(
Depends if the speaker drivers are not bad lile this it will sound better and crisp
Agreed
*Hears this*
*opens door*
Me: "Whos there?"
Tornado: Me.
*dies*
"Who's there?"
"Hermine!"
"Oh."
*Hears This**opens Door*Me: "whos there"Tornado: Heres TornadoMe: Aw hell Na..*dies*
I accidentally hit dislike when I tried to click "Show more" so I decided to reverse that and like it. So free like I guess?
Hampshire Rail Productions lololol
Legendary video from my childhood. I’m sure a lot of others feel that.
My town used to use this model siren until about a year or two ago. I always loved this chime, which indicated the all-clear.
. . . And it just quietly continues rotating afterwards, like it has a mind of its own. Creepy!
In a way, it does. It doesn't play pre recorded sounds. It generates its own sounds procedurally.
Its a controller bug i think
i think they forgot to make it stop rotating@@NyxKemo
that's quite the door bell
Chuck Norris's doorbell
Or how about Warren Central's doorbell. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Justinross Payawal oof
📢📢todjd
Ha ha
😠😠😠😠😠BLYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT😠😠😠😠😠!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so pretty. ^^ I've been in love with the sounds of siren's since I first heard a tornado siren for myself.
I never heard tornado sirens irl only in vids
That chime sounded AWESOME!
That was awesome! I wish the outdoor sirens in my town did this for their test!
That sounds SO SCARY I can't sleep for the rest of my life
@speedbag67, they used the chimes so the whole town know that it's high noon, our town siren goes off precisely at 12:00 noon everyday
Sounded like a Ice cream truck With A EOWS ON THE TOP! xD
Imagine that, just see an ice cream truck rolling down the street, and it's got a god damn EOWS 612 strapped to the top of it!
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@somepersonwhowatchesandhas5198 more likely an eows m12 (thats the siratone for cars google it)
It's actually not out of tune. It's a harmonizing full westminster chime melody. you're hearing 2 tones at once, but the lower tone seems to over power the higher.
It could be used to save life or to tell people that its 5 o'clock
Jayce Cox no
That's funny man

0:15 Earrape Warning
I seriously will hook one of these up to my doorbell.
We love that sound and some ICE CREAM!!!
That particular siren has been replaced with a Whelen Vortex. As far as this siren which is at Crites Rd. between US 23 and Court St, I can check whether or not it's still there next week.
0:03 Me: Unwithered Freddy!
Unwithered Freddy: What?
Me: I'm Have Something New Next To My House.
0:04 *Siratone 612 Westmimster Chimes*
Unwithered Freddy: WHAT THE?! WHAT IS THAT NOISE?! IS THIS A TORNADO WARNING?!
Me: Unwithered Freddy, No Panicking! It's Just Siratone 612 Siren Test!
*Siratone 612 Stops Sounding*
Unwithered Freddy: Oh, Siratone 612. But, Where's Is It?
Me: Next To My House. Watch.
Unwithered Freddy: Wow! Cool.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE BIG BEN IN LONDON AND I REALLY ABSOLUTELY LOVE BIG BEN IN LONDON🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫
Wow that is a strange alarm sound... I might think it is my grandfather clock going off if I was inside my house and heard this.
a big doorbell ;)
A huge and extremely loud doorbell
Damn, I should replace my doorbell with this!
This is very expensive tho
This would scare me shitless if I heard this. o.o
EnviromentCanada Windsor It kind of sounds like the national anthem of America
We dont have those in canada
Imagine having this on the roof of your front door! Anytime someone rings the door bell. The siren goes off lmao!

Also the current chimes that today's Federal electronics play is single toned and only plays the last 8 notes of the Westminster Chime melody.
I love this EOWS chime
@georgeskinner1010 no, its a test, and its testing using the westminster chime, like what Big Ben in london has.
Am I the only person on this planet that thinks this sounds beautiful!
What would they use this siren for? If its for a test at least its more variety than a siren.
This is used to signal "all clear". The City of Torrance, CA uses a tone like this to accompany their monthly test of their alert systems.
All clear as in no tornados?
I would think it’s a damn ice cream truck
@mametchi1234 that song is used to indicate that it is noon.
a siren that keeps up spirit.
This EOWS 120 IS AMAZING
Who does a tornado siren have this chime? I thought it would be that winding up and just stay on that note for a minute.
no they sound the westmister chime for tests and a stady alert tone for tornados
@tetra021 do you mean the Herbrt from the ''DieAussenseiter''?
This is my favorites siren what's the name of it
EOWS 612. The EOWS means "Electronic Outdoor Warning System".
M MASHEEN EOWS 612
Where can I get a doorbell that sounds exactly like this
why dont the test the chime anymore. its alot better than 4 min of a siren going off at the same pitch.
0:17 WHY IS IT SO LOUD?! I mean is it like that for all EOWS 612?
What does the EOWS 612 westminister chime mean
I ❤ this chimes
Haha. Gotta love the test sounds. Reminds me of the tornadoes through Perry, Pickaway, Fairfield, Athens, and hocking counties this past year. I was at OCU in Circleville during that and watched the funnel clouds come down and shoot abck up.
No thats just the test tone. This was the last time they were using this test tone because they switched to monthly tests instead of weekly tests.
Now just imagine if this was used instead of roosters 😂😂😂
that sounded like my high school bell, only louder
My high school bell is deafeningly loud
My town only sounded this once for a severe Thunderstorm warning but now they do it for all Clear and for the end of the test our test is the standard siren and the all Clear is this
Why do they rotate before they activate? Is it to give a warning to people to RUN?
This siren is from London??
I guess so.. (Its a Big Ben Chimes)
This is an old siren
that is very very loud and it sounds like big Ben in London
Sounds awesome
Seeing this on an ice cream would be funny. “BILLY FIRE HER UP!!”
where does this signal stand for?
My Neighbour's Doorbell sound exactly like this! Verrrrry scary;-))))
At 0:16 it sounds kinda like an ACA Cyclone...
On the federal signal website they have a half hour chime and the third note of it sounds like an aca p50 and you was right
0:04 tornado siren: EEEE IIII AAAAH OOOOH (2 Seconds later) EEEEE IIII YYYY OOOO (2 Seconds later) IIII OOOO EEEEEEE OOOOOOO (2 Seconds later) OOOOOH AAAAAH IIIII EEEEEEEEERRRH!!! (tornado siren sound effect)
Why did they run the church bells through the tornado siren?
I miss these
If that was the attack warning siren, it would be the most hilarious and fun nuclear anhilation ever.
I love the chime it sounds like big ben chiming 12:00 an noon
please tell me that isn't the standard siren alert tone for tornados... I know in Oregon their Tsunami alert tone or something like that is a cow moo'ing. lol
Daniel Quick I'm replying to you after 10 YEARS!
i remember this one time my town had that eows 612 and it was 5 am and this thing blasted my ears and scared me innsanely bad
It's been a crazy dream of mine to reprogramme one of these to play the Inspector Gadget theme.
I'm currently working on a rock around the clock chime
what is this siren used for? the fire department?
Scaryer than siren head
And there goes the Ice Cream car! =D
this is another version of westminister. it has to be. listen to another one and tell me it's different lengths of time sounding
Westminster Chimes are the protocol for tests and indicating time on most electronic sirens.
Tell you when someone walked in the front door?
does EOWS stand for ( ememergence outdoor warning system)???
if i saw it rotating then i'd be screaming and running away ;)
Its less scary than a modulator doing alternate wail tho
Westminster Chimes in the EOWS makes me have a headache. The Whelen is the best.
First siren video in RUclips
Where is this siren located?
Why do they play westminster chimes?
lol how did someone install that noise
These chimes are dual tone
According to Federal it is Electronic Outdoor Warning System.
Why would a siren play Westminster chimes? Is it their version of a clock tower?
Can someone give me all the pitches?
(for example E-flat)
E Natural
E Natural
G Flat
A Flat
E Natural
G Flat
E Natural
A Flat
A Flat
E Natural
G Flat
C Flat
A Flat
G Flat
E Natural

wat doo day uze dis tone 4
I mean even though it's chimes, It's scary! Why does Federal have to make it so frighting?
I know this isn't the real tornado tone, but... it would be fekkin creepy if it was... I don't know about anyone else, but if a tornado is coming, I don't want to hear something jolly...
My fav siren
@AERODYNAMICMICROSOFT The Thunderbolt in Attack is my ring tone...guarantee when it "goes off" no one else looks at their phone!! Which brings to mind an old George Carlin routine...what if the bell on the phone was a siren instead? "Quick!! Catch it before it peaks!!"
no its electronic outdoor warning system
thats a nice little 126 decibel tone to listen too
You Know I bet some senior man probably said, "Honey can you get the the door?".
richie salway this thing is dual toned, that's why it sounds like that.
This siren is from London?
Most realistic video ever in 2006-2009!
this is y its sad to see a siratone 612 get replaced :(
Well, back then, I didn't know they were sirens until my mom told me.
Yea, I think that is a nice way to test the sirens without disturbing the public with an actual siren wail. Then again, knowing what the siren actually sounds like helps you condition into tuning in when it is real.
