"Rrrrrrrrrr- GOD DAMMIT."
"Rrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........."
"I did it! Mum are you proud???"

Even when it's going it sounds really bad. Poor siren.
that siren tryin too hard
LunaMizuki8806 Hey another mlp fan
It sounds like the thx thing at the beginning of old movies
The damper is probably stuck or it’s just doing a whoop or a pulse tone
@@Ultimate2T22 it doesn’t have a damper and it’s doing the yelp tone.
Like attempting to smack a fly *hits wall*

Go home siren, you're drunk...
haha
lol
no, It has a cold
Creeperboy maybe it forgot to get it's siren flu shots
Strandysmommy but it was already at its home
Nobody:
My neighbor starting his lawnmower at 7 AM on a Sunday:
I think the car at 3:44 - 3:53 was trying to show the siren how it's done.
Because race car bro.
Chris Kelling z
it's a manual, he had to rev the car up to roughly 3k and ease off the clutch, that's why you hear the revs drop and then go back up
@xpwindows9895 Vista Wow, serious much? It's a joke, dude. We're WELL aware that the siren and the car aren't living things. It's kind of a "No sh*t, Sherlock" type thing, okay?
@xpwindows9895 Vista Doesn't mean you have to reply? I'm a no-nonsense kind of person myself, yet I find their comment quite humorous. I have a younger brother whom I think is quite ridiculous in many aspects, but he is what he is. I can't change that. Kids will be kids, no matter how you feel about something they've done. I've learned to accept it, so maybe you should as well.
Gotta admit perfect timing with the motor bike passing by
OH YEAH LOL
Lol 😂
I feel bad for their eardrums lol
This is what happens when your siren is powered by a lawn mower.
Yep
😂😂😂true
Or when your siren is secretly a lawnmower
Ha a pull start
@Jon Victor Min Yun Tham It has a bird in it.
Even when the Siren has started wailing loudly it doesn't sound 100%
It's depressed
Trying to wake up in the mornings
Hitting snooze button over and over…
So true
There was a bird in there... It took that siren six tries before it finally succeeded in making the bird into applesauce... mashed that son of a bitch pretty good the first five times though!
Oh, you're AWFUL! lol
Christian O'Connor that's why you put screens on the chopper chamber...
Christian O'Connor I ain’t see the bird
I feel like we would be able to see "applesauce" coming out if that were true.

I like how the siren keeps tripping and you can hear all the other sirens in the background
Bearing problem?
Surprised that it can stop the rotor so suddenly and not break something.
Hope this was reported so that maintenance can examine it.
Bearings were my first thought too, though still a possible issue, I would throw more speculation into the stator brushes and winding contacts on the rotor itself as you can hear scratching when the motor stops abruptly.
But how would they stop the rotor so abruptly? The rotor in my siren has enough mass to develop good momentum. Still puzzled at the cause of the sudden stops.
I've worked on enough motors to know that the rotor contactors can become brittle at random and becomes more apparent as they age. Keep in mind that these motors, even while shielded, go through extremes of weather changes and the materials holding the contactors in place can become brittle itself, plus the carbon brushes can become dislodged and grind against the contactors. There really isn't much torque when older sirens start due to a weakening copper/magnetic flux, so anything, even a stick can stop the motor rather quickly. It's why proper motor maintenance and care is crucial, especially in older systems. Fortunately most motors today have (non)lubricated ball bearings instead of a bronze/brass bearing which warps and disintegrates over time. Something to keep in mind when you need to do maint and/or repairs to your own siren.
***** It is the *sudden stopping* of the already turning rotor which puzzles me.
Acts as though a brake fully engages and overcomes the momentum. That is not easy. (Hopefully my 2t22A, HOR and ? have ball bearings.)
Older sirens like that you know uses an electromagnetic field for both the stator and rotor, most definitely 3 phase but no surprise if a single phase modification or single phase from the start. simply it could be a loss of magnetism or other electrical issue. it long could be anything electrical or bearings.
I really miss this thing. It was replaced with a 2001 last summer. I live only a few blocks away from where it was.
Alertec2202 This siren is in my friend's garage now so don't be sad.
@@authority3068 real
It needed fixed or replaced
Sounds like my car in the morning..
I know it had a wee bitty trouble starting up but when it got there it was still a little powerhouse! 👏
When you wake up for school on a Monday morning after the holidays “I don’t wanna go to school”.
But this time it’s a siren
Bird was in the siren. Once bird was in a million pieces the siren could actually do a full windup. Seriously why do people not put screens on the chopper?
*chopper*, get it?? no.... ok, i'll shut up
oh god that is so cruel to imagine bird pieces being flung everywhere
That ain't a siren, that's a siren head.
They do on Thunderbolts
The Rubber Ducky shut up with the siren head nonsense
something must be in the chopper hitting the blades preventing it from winding up right.
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions probably a birds nest.
If there was a bird's nest in that ACA poor birds and that ACa
to brush his teeth more often so it won't have rust
If the chopper has corrosion causing improper balance could do something similar also if the bolts holding it together loosen causing exaggerated wobble, same thing, like a top loading washing machine with an unbalanced load.
@@marisahorton1976 it's a soundmaster 115
@@1000BT No, I think its an ACA supa Banshee (lol)
STOP IT COWS!!!! OK, I'LL GIVE YOU THE WHEAT!!!!
Sounds like something is lodged in the blower
What blower?
Don't most sirens have blowers, a side from modulators and the other electronic ones?
Your thinking of the Federal Signal Thunderbolt.... Those have a "Roots Blower" attached to it somewhere, usually on the ground... or they wouldn't have the infamous "Roar" sound to them. The part your talking about would be the part known as the chopper. Its what spins against the stator and when it goes fast enough, that's what generates the sound.
Seriously?
True lol.
LOL I never saw a stutter Siren before!
LOL it has hiccups...
Lmfao yeees.
What would make it even funnier is if it started sparking and smoking and it caught on fire!
No than people would die during a tornado.
It would be hilarious thoigh
Can you hear those things when your in a car or a building when doors/windows closed?
Yes, I lived in Tennessee for a while and when there is a warning, you can hear it
Whether you can hear a siren or not really depends on your location when compared to the siren, wall thicknesses and soundproofing of a building, and environmental factors such as wind, rain, or obstacles that block the sound. However, if you're within a 1/2 mile of the unit, I'd say you'll be able to hear it. But, be aware, these are meant to warn those outdoors, and may not be heard inside under some circumstances, so don't let sirens be your ONLY means of receiving a tornado warning. :)
My siren makes my ears bleed cuz u can heer it even wen u r in brick bilding
ThinBlueLine oh yeah it's hella loud
Sound dissipates like anything else.
Through walls, ground, and over distance, yes it is possible to not hear it.
From thirty feet away though, even a half-broken siren is as audible as a Metallica concert from half a mile away. Yeah, I totally went there.
In the 90's when the batteries in your little brother's toy die: 2:57
My brother hates it when his toys die
Thunderbolt’s like: “cmon please start mr car cmon man please oh thank you”
Low-pitched tornado sirens sound AMAZING
It appears that the starter capacitor is dying off, or the relay is frying up, either way I'd replace either one of the two.
MegaCophater Actually, the siren made bird applesauce. That's why it couldn't start.
Siren has stopped working.
I think its something to do with the chopper maybe
@@HSETM yes brushers
It got replaced by a FS 2001 a newer siren
It probably just needs a good cleanout between the chopper and stator. Or maybe the chopper is off balance and is hitting the stator repeatedly. Maybe the chopper just needs that bolt holding the chopper to the motor's axel just needs to be tightened.
Omg I know I'm like 5 years late but BSP!!!
There's just something about tornado sirens that fascinates everyone who clicked on this video.
Well there goes a birds nest. Bahaha
thats what i said lol i think it just pulverized a nest
Where is the nest
gone, reduced to atoms
Siren: I think I can, I think I can, (after it hits the high note) I thought I could, I thought I could, WOOWOO!!
If you guys want to know about why this siren is malfunctioning and also what the model name is well here you go
This is a SoundMaster 115 it's a mechanical siren made by SoundMaster Inc. The siren is pretty similar to a ACA Superbanshee, the siren had issues when it's being use. The choppers are not weather proof like when it's winter the chopper would freeze making test in the winter impossible. With those issues you can see why you can rarely find SoundMaster sirens due to those issues and SoundMaster Inc barley made any sales of their sirens and then SoundMaster would go out of business. Today you can rarely find SM sirens in a few states who haven't replaced or remove yet
THAT SIREN NEEDS SOME MILK!!!
LOL
Lol
*m a l k*
@@Thunderbolt_7026
M o l k
Imagine scrolling through siren malfunctions and then come across a video that says “Local siren malfunctions extremely, has trouble starting then explodes destroying power lines and trees”
It needs a beat, but otherwise, great sound. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like the part that spins to make the sound is loose hitting the side slowing it down it also looks like the motherboard programming dosent have a stopper which would stop it if that happened aka the motor stopping unexpectedly looks like it's scraping the side they should add programming where if an error happened during testing the siren will force stop for no further damages it's probably the base of it that got loose the belt or the motor that is stopping for some reason it's probably pulling to much voltage which the motherboard takes away forcing a stop
You know if this is still there? I may want to go check it out.
cool! I just saw your comment from "good mythical morning" :)
+thunderbolt10031000tfan it maybe fell it was mabye a long time ago
and mabye got replaced
I found it just the other day.

Nice so its still there. i guess you didn't see what I was doing lol
May I use the first 20-ish seconds of this video in a compilation? Link to your video and on-screen watermark with your channel name will be provided.
Poor siren
I know... :(
Yeah me too. :(
Me three 😢
Either something was caught in the chopper or there was a capacitor issue. The former sounding to be most likely as birds nest in these things.
If there was a nest, them babies DEAF
This is a very sick Soundmaster 115
*The tornado siren in the background that's sounding in the distance is like: Lol your a piece of expired pizzas of a siren and can't even start up properly lol*
Tornado: hey buddy wanna fight
Siren:HECK YEAH ITS ON
tornado:come at me
Siren:
Rrrrrrrrr-oop hold on
Rrrrrrrrrr-COME ON
Rrrrrrrrrrr-WTF COME ON
RRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE-YESSSSSSSS
It has some kind of rubber breaks on it. The wind down is almost immediate.
The siren has bad bearings thats whats causing the fast wind down.
It gets there... Eventually...
This actually represents the solenoids malfunctioning on most aca sirens with solenoids and the some aca super banshee sirens nearly or completely malfunctioning (either with or without solenoids). Plus ACA probably offered super banshees with solenoids.
I’m late but this is a sound master 125

My bad guys
Uh this is an old comment, although I'm kinda right...
I always wondered wondered what it would sound like if a siren motor was suddenly stopped. You can hear the metal shock And whiplash as the chopper stops

This siren can also do HI-LO signal!!!!! has anyone wanted to hear a 8/12 port siren sound fire signal before?
Me me me
sounds like your trying to start a crapy car
The siren is a legit lawnmower just always has problems starting
Ouch! Sounds and looks sick!
Need oil?
Or bearings
0:10 Sorry, but a Federal Signal 2001 is already going.
what kind of siren is this? i've never seen one like it before
It had to bust all the "Mud dauber" nests out of it first..........
LincTexPilot must be a Lot of nest to catch a 15hp motor
Oh and I thought it was rust problem or it could be just that anyways ACA you should brush your teeth more often
that sudden stop cannot be good for the motor, wonder if this is a soundmaster? looks like it but hard to tell
the THX intro
Titan TV Man ???
plot twist!:the siren is not going off, it's just the camera man checking if his motorcycle works
sounds like a old car stalling
You Can Also Hear a Federal Signal 2001-DC in the Ambience.
Sounds like a P-50 starting up
because they are both 8/12
First recording of an extremely rare gas powered soundmaster
Ha ha ha! Nice catching this on tape.
It sounds nearly exactly like an allertor; probably the same chopper.
My guess is that is had a low power intake for a while. It got stronger and stronger until it was able to hit the full blast with a couple warbles. Then the hiccups went away, too.
Again, amazing catch!
There was something in the chopper that was catching on it.
@@United_HVAC_and_Fans Yea, most likely that.
Dark Siren Head when he got rabies:
In all seriousness, it sounds like a shaft is damaged or a stick somehow ended up in there
This past summer this thing and the other were both removed and replaced with stinkin 2001s. :(
Darren Hall they are cheap because they are brand new pieces of shit. I live two streets away from a 2001-130, I hear it fine, but when I get five miles away from it. I cannot hear shit during a test.
P50s would be most cost effective. Long range, not too many electrical parts, and they can be used as a bucket when sh*t goes down!
Nicolas Boswell is that what the bucket is for
That soundmaster 115 is kinda not working right
don't worry i liked your comment
Tornado REMIX
Wait is the soundmaster sirens made by Aca or is soundmaster it’s own company
sounds like my dad struggling to start the lawn mower
LOL

Perhaps the chopper is moving around too much in the housing or the motor is broken.
That don’t be a tornado siren, that be a sirenhead trying to attract a human to eat
the motorcycle riding down the road was perfect.
OMG 0:31 A GLITCH!
Just Monika
Epic video corruption lmao
Did Siren Head Lose His Voice a little?
0:02 Kind of sounds like the Tik Tok meme sound
Take the audio and speed it up (16x) and it sounds like a beat
Wow the damper's springs are weak lol the Incoming air sucks the 8 port chopper's damper closed
It sounds like the brushes are also a bit worn out.
Nathan Fox I'd agree with you on that one, if this siren does use brushes in its motor.
Hold on a second. There's an AC DC motor in there which is brushless DC and also oh wait that would be that strong it has to have brushes then in bearings also I thought it was a rust problem and by the way ACA you need to clean your teeth more often these days
Marisa Horton no this motor is only ac and it’s a soundmaster btw not aca
@@marisahorton1976 ac dc motors, or Universal motors have brushes also. Brushless 'dc' motors are actually AC.
The tall skeleton-like siren was in the graveyard, snoring. We thought it was a prank, until it moved. We took a picture and got the hell out of there.
Sounds like the Prius from Grand
Turismo 5
Toyota Prius?
Why did it go off any way?
I’m still wondering why nobody is scared, and is just driving like nothing is happening....
It was probably a test
definately needs maintenance. has this been reported?
When I talk but I get interrupted
I know its been 6 years but I wanna know is there still a siren there? What is the name of the street? I want to check it out because My grandpa lives in Columbia Heights MN
I know I’m very ate but it was replaced with another one
@@therailcat9790 Yeah make sense, since the siren is broken lol. It's sad how old sirens are getting replaced with a new siren. Most sirens they replace is the Federal Signal 2001-130. I've had a classic siren by my house but recently got replaced by the 2001-130
How could there even be a tornado with blue sky?
Testing. In tornado heavy areas this happens usually once a week on clear days.
nicky thurman its a test of the siren
Just a Test, Dont ask me how I know that.
the company of that siren needs to test it cuz if they didn't and there was a tornado we would all be dead
This is old but testing is needed so they know the sirens work or else if not tested we risk having a none functional tornado siren
This is one way to make people laugh when a tornado comes.
