Siren Ambience over Downtown Amarillo

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- We got permission from Amarillo National Bank to take this video. Big Thanks to them. KDK had an idea to see what the sirens sound like from up high. Dad called a friend that works there (Thank you so much Sharon) and she got it all taken care of. So out of school early and to downtown we went. The building has 16 floors then we climed up a ladder to the roof. Great View! Sorry about the wind noise but thats the Texas Panhandle. Sirens heard are: 3 2001's, 2-3 Cyclones, 1 Thunderbolt, 2 STL-10s and maybe more. Have no clue what we will do next.
I think this one is my ultimate favorite. The ambient sound....
I think so too. Wish that 2001 wasn't so close behind us. But it is what it is. Now all of the old sirens are gone. Amarillo is covered by 2001's and 508's. Just not the same. Thanks for the comment!
Amarillo Texas has the best sounding warning system unlike any other. all perfect harmony
2001-130, 2001 srn, ASC-cyclone, p10,thunderbolt, and STL-10
Beautiful...
@kdksiren That does make sense. They are basically P-50s without the projector cone. We have one up near my house, and it's crazy loud.
3:00 WOO!! AMAZING PLANE!!!
the 2001 and cyclone have such a nice harmonic sound.
im listening to them outside right now and playing this along. lol
Man this video gives me some very good memories, if I could hear this beautiful ambience again I would, can’t believe it’s been nearly 14 years time really files man.
It doesn't seem that long ago! Sad all the old sirens are now gone. Thanks for the comment!
I like the harmony/melody from the sirens
They need some here in Lubbock
great video, man I wish i couldve seen the V-22 too
@kdksiren thats what i like about them.... they are prepared for anything.... thanks!
There is a P-15 about 1 mile + behind us in the video. The 2001 that is close dictated that we go to the south side of the roof. That is probably what you are hearing. There is only one Banshee and it is several miles away.
I miss the cyclones
So do we! At least the vids are here to see and hear. Hereford still has theirs.
If you are talking about the ones in town, yes. They are all still up and going. We have 2 at our house in the yard mounted on stands. They are a work in progress. A 1000T and 1003.
@boeing63 They are very cool to watch. Bell Helicoptor builds them here so we see them quite a bit. After one is built, they fly it around for testing for several days before delivery to the military. Thanks!!
I love the roar of the ACA P-50's!
So do we. Wish there were some here too. The ones you hear are Cyclones.
2:30 lol the birds
@SuperK3nnyXD The dual tone sirens heard in this video is an ASC Cyclone. In parts a Thunderbolt can also be heard.
we can hear diffrent low sounds
it was all from the same siren or lot of others siren location ?
how amarillo got siren in the city ?
gr8 clip by the way
0:48 Heaven is Here
I also hear a P-15 or Banshee here and there. Just a waft or so floating in the wind :)
All the remaining T-bolts are 1000T's. The only ones within ear shot are Cyclones, T-bolts, 2001's, and STL-10's. But there are alot of them.
Amarillo has the best combination of sirens. I have experienced many of their tests!
Well, I think it should be "had" the best combination. They are replacing all the old ones pretty quick. Only a couple of TBolts left. SD-10's are going along with the STL-10's. Cyclones are still up but seem to be scheduled for replacement in the next few yrs. 2T'22's are going as well. 2001's and 508's are the norm now. Actually the 508's are going up everywhere. Sad. But lots of videos to remember them though. Thanks!
Your right about the Texas Sky! You can really see forever. Best of luck at Tech. Maybe you can get a recording of the sirens around the college. What do you think? I have a cousin that will graduate there this year. We go down there every so often. Lubbock is a pretty good place to be, albeit no sirens in the city.
Thats a good question! Been told by several that they don't but a check on the ASC website still show them. So really don't know.
I was in texas just last month trying to find some cyclones and 2001s, but unfortunately i couldn't find them.
Music to my ears :)
@kdksiren
Judging by the weather conditions, this was a required monthly test of the sirens.
wow, I cant believe this is already 8 years old!! How time flies..
Me either! KDK is a freshman in college now! His interest in sirens has all but gone so not many new vids unless something changes. Hope all is going well with you and all your endeavors! Good hearing from you!
Freshman in Highschool.... :(
make that 14
It sounds like the Thunderbolt we're hearing is a 1000T, and there might be a 9/12 port siren of some type being heard too.
Hey Jae! It does sound single tone. Look at our video of the downtown T-bolt on the ground. This is that siren. At 20 sec. it says 1000 on the label, but at 55 sec. the top of the chopper head says 1000T. They may have changed heads or whatever, but I agree it sounds like a old 1000. It has since been sent to another city (who knows where) that was in need of a siren. We just based it off of the chopper embossing. Thanks!!!
@CarnelProd666 It is also a 1000T. There are several still in operation here and they all seem to produce the same sound. Just that some turn different directions. Guess the rotator motor is wired different to cause that.
Siren Symphony. Hmmm... should have an album.
I will try and do just that. It sounds at noon and for firecalls, so i'll have to get my lazy as out of bed early.
No, it's not there. Really miss the sound of the old T-Bolt too!! That 2001 just doesn't sound like it belongs there. But, we were told that it was donated to another town (don't know which one) as they needed a siren. Glad to know that it will still be running.
@Coasterintheyard It kinda seems that way but actually they all come on at the same time. Its just that they are a long ways off and it takes a while for the sound to reach the video point. Was really cool to hear. Just wish the wind wasn't blowing. Around here, its rare that the wind doesn't blow!
At 3:00. We see planes all the time here in Wichita KS. Sometimes during storms you do not know if it is a siren or just a plane. lol
Man, all of these sirens together sound bone chilling like it's something out of "War of the Worlds" Also, is the Thunderbolt 1000 still on top of the courthouse?
Awesome Sirens,too bad about the heavy wind noise on the microphone!. =)
the only problem is the thunderbolt is the hardest to hear.,.... i can only hear it for a millisecond then it goes away and is drowned out...
Awesome video! Sounds scary there! The close 2001 being heard is the 130 in downtown you filmed, right?
That would be a T-bolt 1000T that is a mile or more away, towards the right in the video. It's near a water tower on Western St and 6th. It's kinda hard to identify all the different ones heard up there.
@kdksiren
Oh, gorgeous day it was. IDK if next month will be as nice as today. You know how it is in Amarillo lol
i hear like 3 2001 sirens a few p-15's and maybe a p-50
Great! We will be looking for it.
Gotta love the Cyclone ambiance!
Still watching this video in 2019. 😎
Hope all is going well your way! Always great hearing from you. We haven't posted anything in years. Just not alot left around here to vid. Thanks.
They are a common site here as they test them before they send them off. It just seems that I don't have the camera when there is one flying by. Really cool to watch.
The nearest 2T22 is near Westgate Mall on the western edge of the city. The wind was blowing from that direction, but it is really a long ways away. We have found only 2 here. There may be more though. Thanks!
@Blackie8898 No P-50's here in Amarillo or on the system. We have looked big time too! The ones you hear are probably the cyclones. They sound the same as P-50's. We have searched most of the Texas Panhandle for one but there isn't one to be found.
@Droideka133 No, there isn't a T-bolt to be seen in this video. The building shown was where there was one but was taken down last year. Sad day!
We have three vids that have tornado's and sirens. They are scary. I would hate to be on that building though with a tornado coming!! Thanks
Those would be great! Jae is going to try to do Cinncinati maybe next month.
@8534951 It was about 2 blocks behind us. That is why we stayed on the other side of the roof. It blocked out some of the sound, but not enough. Thanks!!
Nice vid. 5 stars easily!!! Is there a siren on the building @ :50?
@patmix You can hear many different sirens. Some High and some Low pitched. There are about 90 on the entire system. Many are in the outline county areas that are heavily populated. Not sure what you mean in the second question, but they are here due to severe storms that pass through. Tornados. They keep buying new ones as the city expands. You can check out all of the different ones on our home page. There are many different ones. Thanks!!!!
I actually managed to get a tour of the EMA office for Amarillo and I heard that they are updating Pantex's system. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be there but I am glad I got some good photos. I was debating about telling you but time was running out getting ready for the trip and I forgot, so maybe next time. By the way could you do another thunderbolt recording at a different location I would like to hear what they sound like up in Amarillo, thanks.
can i use this ambiance for a video series im writing right now? it would be greatly appreciated.
I was in Houston and in Galveston for a family reunion, so while i was there, I went siren hunting. But I live in Alabama.
@firepipernickb Thanks. The wind up there was blowing pretty bad. We tried to block it the best we could but it still caught on the camera.
All the T-bolts we have heard here are 1000's.
Does the cyclone sounds like a musical note? Or is it just me?
@kdksiren I already know they removed the Potter T-bolt, but what about the other one you filmed? Wasn't it a 1000?
Very nice vid.
@toiletsrock44 Yes. There is one about 2 blocks behind us. Its the one in the with the birds in it.
cool at the end thetes a v22 osprey heli
i wish the 2001 wound not test... imagine how sweet that would sound :)
its pretty amazing on how all these sirens harmonize with each other
I heard most of the old ACA sirens are being replaced with FS 508s even the old fs sirens to
That would be correct. There are 2 Cyclones left, a STL-10 or 2, a couple of SD-10's, no T-bolts and cant find any P-10's or 15's. Just 508's and 2001's are about to be the norm. Thanks!!
Great video! There won't be another one like it soon!
Many sirens!
I'm pretty sure I hear a P-50 somewhere in the mix.
No problem. Thanks for asking first.
What kind of siren is producing the VERY low tone?? Never heard one with such a low tone...
@lilaj34siren We wish there was a P-50 or 2 around here but nope. What you are hearing are Cyclones. There are several of them here. Probably a STL-10 also can be heard. Thanks!!
I just keep coming back to this video, and every time i hear those Cyclones wind up, i get chills constantly, lol.
The 2001 kind of reminds me of one in my siren system, but im not sure which one it is, its like extremely low pitched that last time i heard it.
@SSAirsoftowns Wish you were right! There are no Allertors here. You may have heard a P-15. There are several of them here. Thanks!
@4J25 They really are amazing birds! Not the best shot of it. They build them here and you can see them doing test flights sometimes before they are shipped off to the military. Thanks
Shouting angel in the sky
2001 sirens with aca p-50
No P-50's. Cyclones.
I like the thunderbolts
Agree! But not much we could do.
i think i heard a old sterling
The fucking fireworks scared me!!!
@kdksiren i agree!! compared to a 2001 yea it does.... are there any sd-10s near buy?
So the other Tbolt you filmed has been replaced?
I think that all the remaining T-bolts are 1000T's. Check out our videos. The downtown thunderbolt is no longer there. But we took video of it on the ground and it is clearly a "T". Really do miss the sound of that siren. There are about 7 T-bolts left in town. They should do a test the last friday of this month. Hope to get something, weather permitting, and believe me, it hasn't been too permitting lately. Woke up to 2 degrees this morning!
I have no idea. Can you get a vid of it sounding? It is strange looking. Wonder if it is mechanical or and electronic siren?
yea the really close 2001 when it was pointed at you drowned everything out then the one second loudest drowned all the high notes to all the sirens out... so i guess i really have to listen close for it.
I wonder why it seems that sirens are activated by model...
@CSX8663 Is it here or some other place. I think they do some of the work in Ft. Worth.
Tech tests their sirens once a year in March. I will see if I can't get a video. Some communities, like Slaton, test weekly though, so I will be sure to get some videos of those.
Lubbock still has a few Tbolts left, but you are right about them not being used.
Cyclones are still the best siren ever made by far. They sound totally different from a distance, too. Up close you could really hear the two tones. From a distance they are mixed together and kind of sound like a "metal trashcan". That's the first object that comes to mind when I hear one from a distance. At the end when it said the callsign and who they were, it said 21:00 hours. That's 9PM at night!
at 0:39 is that another cyclone or a p-50 i cant tell the difference
@kdksiren
The closest thing to a Sterling would be that MARS in Dumas, right?
Sirens in Amarillo Is ACA Cyclone 125,SD-10,Modulater,2001-130,508,ACA P-15,ACA Banshee,ACA Alertronic 4000,Thunderbolt,RSH Thunderbeam,2T22,Model 7T
No Thunderbearms. Forgot all the 2001's and STL-10's. Also the Banshee is gone. Replaced by 508.
Stephanie Ralph Lucky... Try going to Minneapolis MN on testing day and try to Survive the 100 Screaming 2001's they have...
Mikey I've been to lynd Minnesota and they have a thunderbolt
ConnorW07 TheSirenHunter Most of not All Minnesotan Cities have A Network of 2001's and Modulators. Minneapolis, Owatonna, Mankato, Rochester, Faribault, and many other Cities are made up of these Systems
There are not to many. However here, there are about 8 of them in town, 1 in Canyon, and 7 in Hereford. Don't know how popular they are else where in the state. Were u in this area?
kdksiren I am in this area. actually, I live in Amarillo
Now this is what i call a Siren Symphony!...they all sound good together.
