Chris, Tony, and I met Finn, Rylan, and Sam at the awesome Thunderbolt in downtown Battle Creek for the first Saturday of September. It’s mounted high up on Battle Creek Tower, and can be seen for miles. It's pretty damn loud from the ground considering its height. Thanks for watching, and enjoy!
Calhoun County tests their siren system on the first Saturday of every month at 1 PM, weather permitting.

[@hadishd-fr3wh]

is it only me but the fact it sounds like a ACA hurricane

[@mnsirens]

It sounds like one because the Hurricane and 4/5 Thunderbolts produce the same chord, a major 3rd. This Thunderbolt just so happens to be set to a chopper level that produces a very similar interval to the Hurricane.

That gap is getting worse, I can just tell by the pitch raising a bit. Nice Video!

lets go inside the siren

[@TheSleepyMechanic0524]

It was said that this one has an air leak. Is it true? Also, bearings are a little rough, winds down pretty quick.

[@EastDetroitMusic-Sirens3000A]

There’s a gap in between the horn and chopper cap. Rest of the siren itself of perfectly healthy just one miner gap at the top. That was rumored years ago.
