Man that whoop tone brings back memories! My elementary school that I attended from Kindergarten to 2nd grade had a voice evac system that played the same slow whoop tone. The speaker/strobes were the rare Wheelock ET-1010 models
It’s possible that the speakers in the stairways are on “page only” circuits, so they only get live announcements and not automatic sounds/messages so as to not confuse occupants in the stairs with different sounds playing at once.
Unless the speaker circuits in the stairways were vandalized because someone didn't like fire alarms in the stairways, but that's not something you do to a fire alarm.
I don't know why the System Sounds like the Alert and Evacuation Tone that I hear in Australia and New Zealand, This is Uncommon to hear this slow whoop
The speakers in the stairwell don't work which is probably due to a bad speaker circuit or improperly connected wiring on that stairwell speaker circuit
@@dabitzz Because if multiple alarms in one area don't work (audibly/visually of both) then it's a bad NAC circuit (for strobes and horns) or speaker circuit. If one alarm fails then it's because it's showing age or improper wiring. Fire alarms can't work forever which is why they get replaced when one fails and correcting the wiring doesn't fix it
@joeycaridi3030 Speaker wiring is really easy to fix, I worked with it before and if something on it is bad easy to strip the bad wire and reground the positive and negative wires.
@@SodiumInduction-hv Because it feels like someone might have broken off the stairwell speaker circuit as the speakers in the stairwell aren't loud at all
Some of the world trade center buildings had a siemens system(which was set on the siemens whoop tone) I wouldn't say it sounds the same, mainly because siemens and notifier are 2 different fire alarm companies.

Yes! I’ve been looking for a video like this, I want a white SpectrAlert speaker strobe so bad!
My fave whoop tone
Yeah, gotta vibe off the AMG-1s.
Quite the scrumptious video my good sir
Ooh system sensor classic speakers! Nice system, and great video

these are my favorite speaker strobes because of how they look
The Egyptian Theatre here in LA has one of those AMG-1s
Did I hear SpectrAlert advances or L-Series horn strobes at one point in the video?
yep they were in an outdoor parking garage
The tones and slow whoop sounds just like the australian fire alarms.
I don't know why the System Sounds like the Alert and Evacuation Tone that I hear in Australia and New Zealand, This is Uncommon to hear this slow whoop
Yeah its usually exclusive to those countries but its super rare to hear both prealarm and evacuation tones on an American system
@KaiBannon Prealarm isn't rare, most of the time systems don't have prealarm programmed to sound before a voice evac signal.
i love how it is so similar to the older Australian systems.
The speakers in the stairwell don't work which is probably due to a bad speaker circuit or improperly connected wiring on that stairwell speaker circuit
Typically the speakers on the 2nd floor don’t work unless someone at the panel makes a manual message.
The fire alarm sounds really cool
Yeh
You know I was always curious about that kind of SpectrAlert speaker/strobe. It looks cooler than the other SpectrAlert Classic speaker/strobe.
I like spectralert classics!
Me too
I assume this hotel is in downtown Spokane.
Yeah do you live in Spokane or something? You seem to mention it a lot
@@FourtyFiftyEighty I don't live in Spokane but most of your videos are in the Spokane area.
@neohistoryfan1014 Yeah, it's at the davenport hotel.
Looks Like the Davenport hotel.
@@Sirenfireproductions5209 it might seem crazy what I’m bouta say
Did the speaker/strobes in the stairwell get replaced
i don't think they need replacing, it's probably just bad wiring
@@dabitzz oh ok

Probably not, most of the system was installed in the 2000s. Probably still there

What About the Notifier Firefighter Telephone Jack ?
Sounds Like someone has tamperd with the Notification devices
Why
@@SodiumInduction-hv Because it feels like someone might have broken off the stairwell speaker circuit as the speakers in the stairwell aren't loud at all
@@joeycaridi3030 Breaking a speaker circuit sounds like vandalism. Probably a reason fire alarms aren't installed in stairways.
My local mall has the same system same tones and same message lol.
probably is a notifier AMG voice bay
the fire alarms in the stairwell weren't that loud
Those were written up yeah
if i was in that hotel and if the fire alarm at the middle of the night went off i would have slept in the stairway 😅
Are fire alarms really necessary in the stairwells anyway?
@@MNsportsnutProbably not.
Sounds like the world trade centre fire alarm
Some of the world trade center buildings had a siemens system(which was set on the siemens whoop tone) I wouldn't say it sounds the same, mainly because siemens and notifier are 2 different fire alarm companies.
@@Sirenfireproductions5209The WTC only had a Cerberus Pyrotronics MXL-V which only did slow whoop like all the other MXL-V systems.
only if he said *This Is A Test For The Fire Alarm Safety System This Is Only A Test*
