    the most beautiful sound EVER

    That’s some serious ear protection right there, it’s so loud the microphone sound like it’s being blown into.

      Yeah. I got those at a military surplus store. They were new in the box. They made the model 5 i tested easy to tolerate even though I could feel my insides moving around when I ran that thing. Running the thunderbolts with the small vaccum blower for air is really not horribly loud.

    @MegaCophater It's not muted. There is a towel sitting in the horn but it's not even blocking 1/4th of the opening. It wouldn't be worth it to drag all the stuff out there again and do it without the towel in it. It wouldn't sound any different.

    Driving through Newberry, SC, one Saturday about noon, I heard one of these doing alternating wail. Didn't know what type of siren it was, till years later. I spotted it on top of the one of the buildings in downtown.

    I remember when the town I grew up in had one of these, or a similar model of the Thunderbolt. The thing sounded fantastic even after all of the years it was in service. Then they replaced it with a Whelen WPS-2810 and things were just never the same. It just didn't have the same grunt.

      Every siren in the city of Muskogee, where I live, were all thunderbolts. They replaced all of them in 2016 with 2001s, and it's really just not that interesting anymore.

    Why not try reading the video title? It's doing the signal named in the video title . I'm doing this manually with the RCM switch and timer. A 1003 can do a signal like this if it's set up to do it by the way.

    @LouisvilleTorn8o Another reply to this-- Without the horn it's not nearly as loud and it sounds ridiculous. I can't imagine how ridiculous it would sound with the blower running and no horn installed. I'm sure not going to go through the hassle and work to try to do that in my garage.

    How loud would that thing be if you took the horn off of it and ran it with the single phase Thunderbolt blower? Would it still be too loud for your neighbors?

  • @LouisvilleTorn8o
    @LouisvilleTorn8o 13 лет назад +1

    @vanamonde2 I've always wondered just how much louder having the horn on it makes it, and whether those distortion-like high harmonics are caused by the blower alone, or the displacement of air in the horn. Those same harmonics are definitely not there when just the chopper is running, or when a less powerful blower is used.
