  • This...we can't even. What started out as a normal test quickly took a turn for the worse as this Whelen started making all sorts of weird noises. By the end of the test it was just an extremely loud hissing, not even identifiable as a siren. We have absolutely no idea what could be wrong with this thing. Anyways, it's located at Woodlan High School in Woodburn, visible off US-24. Sirens in Allen County are tested on the 1st Wednesday of the month at noon.

    Siren fail, video win. I was impressed with how stable that drone stayed during the test, I didn't realize it was a drone at first.

    That perfectly simulates what happens during a tornado warning. First you hear a normal siren, then it's wooshing and crashing noises at the end.

      @jm-vg4yn 5 лет назад +3

      I believe it would be a controller issue. I really don't think this would be a driver issue because instead of crippling and corrupted sound, it would pop, or cut off at times. I know this because there was a Whelen with bad drivers where I had lived before. This sounds like a bad sound card.

    leading to its failure as it seems to stop before the other sirens do.

    • @Joshwoakes
      @Joshwoakes 3 года назад

      The siren might have not been programmed or designed to react to the voltage being lower than it's minimum stable operating voltage, if it was it would have just shut it self off instantly or protection would have kicked in and cut off power. So it basically just keeps going causing it start being no longer able to run everything in stable manner until eventually It doesn't even have enough power to do anything and then just crashes and finally shuts off like it should have done in the first place but the question is how do you know if it's actually dying batteries and not a failing component causing the voltage to drop before eventually blowing a fuse or something?
