This video can be educational for recognizing the kinds of signals used in Civil Defense Outdoor Warning System which is sounded ( of course ) by the Warning Sirens :)
1- Pulse - which was simulated in the video ( used for Nuclear Fallout or Early Warning on a certain regions )
2- Wail ( Danger or Attack )
3- Alert A.K.A Steady Tone ( used for early warning or All Clear on a certain regions )
4- High-Low ( Fire Emergency )
Hope you enjoy this video

Ok the Alert Echo Sounds Amazing!!!!
Thx
MarkFrankFTW//MaximusFTW The Drawing Artist 2:40 isn’t hi lo it’s a tone called fire
@Budd car studio
The tone itself is called High-Low & it signifies fire risk.
Thx
The wail gives me the chills. I've heard it for real more times than Id like.
Me to But I Still Love that one
Same as me
I've heard plenty also. The sustained high part is what always creeps me. It echoes an eerie pitch.
@@sstrick500 All our thunderbolt sirens are set for a continuous tone for tornado warnings. They have been that way since the 1970s. The super outbreak in 1974 really spooked a lot of communities into buying sirens.
Continuous tone ... i think you mean *Steady Tone.*
I never knew about the other three sounds, I think the sound the most people hear is the Wail sound because I think its use in the time of tornado and tidal wave warnings and/or get the attention of EMS personal.
Meghan Hause
I see :)
Glad to know that this video was useful for helping you to let you know of other warning sirens signals :)
Meghan Hause Hilo is to Alert emergency personnel
Meghan Hause its also because of old air raid sirens. They produce the same sound.
I personally got the Alert/steady tone early for my area when there was a tornado about to hit.
We hear alert the most in Indiana. It’s used for early warning for tornadoes.
It can also do wailing fire because there's one not far from my house that did the hi-lo wail tone. It's next to the East Windsor Volunteer Fire Department #1 (aka Station 42).
Directly it is called ( Wailing Hi-Low ) or ( Alternate Wail )
Can I use this video please
@@Thunderbolt_7026 This isn't my video. I was just adding on to what was shown in the video from my own experience.
@@BellyLover06 He is not talking to you
He might mean the hi-lo fast wail, usually 3T22s use it the most
On the high and low signal you can hear the solenoids moving
wolfy gaming the what?
@@DOGE-rk1sq solenoids are things that control the pitch of the sound of the siren so it can make it sound like its high and low high and low and etc. And also when the Fire department heads this signal. It means that there a fire.
Oof 7765 To explain it *better*, there are two slots on the chopper block, and when the chopper spins, it allows two pitches to come from the chopper. When one of these holes are covered by one of the solenoids, only one hole is left unblocked to produce the sound only out of that one hole.
@@jm-vg4yn oh okay thanks
Thanks
as the pulse gets louder i feel like i need to freeze or run
Why does the equals sign appears every time when the 1003 siren pulses!?
That's the pulse symbol animation.
There is a country which used that kind of symbol in the past.
Cuz its close to ya
I love the Wail/Attack signal sound!
The sound starts at: 0:51
LOL
Reminds me of a Carter air raid siren
Sous Soh me too
@@thisisadeadchannelbczitsdead 😮
I never knew a Thunderbolt could also do a pulsing effect too. Lean something new every day. Great job mate 👏.
Love the sound of the thunderbolts. A staple of living in Indiana during tornado season!!!!
Texas too.
The pulse was pretty good for old technology!! It also sounds healthy too!!
Tornado sirens are my favorite!
I think you're referring to the specified purpose of the warning sirens in your area, but the thing is :
The outdoor warning systems which are officially called "Warning Sirens" can be used for multipurpose such as :
1- Tsunami.
2- Severe Weather.
3- fire risk.
etc ...
So don't be surprised if the sirens in your area can be used for multipurpose :)
this is my ultimate favorite video of a thunderbolt
I remember the first three alert sirens used in Kuwait during 2003 war with Iraq. Kuwait civil defence would sound the red alert and all clear siren whenever there was an incoming scud missile.
We use 3 signals :
1- Caution ( pulse signal )
2- Danger ( wail signal )
3- All Clear ( Steady signal )
@@aliultimate009 it's the same order we had in Kuwait. Warning alert, red alert or danger and all clear.
I'm from kuwait 😅
It seems i wasn't clear on my explanation to you XP
When i said ( we ) i meant Kuwait X)
@@aliultimate009 I might have not read fully ur comment and it was a mistake, I do apologise. Yes we remember the days of civil defence siren test and during the war, even to this day when ever I hear that siren, it reminds me of the war. I believe civil defence in Kuwait has changed the entire siren system.
That's what i hate 😑
At least if they have installed a Vortex siren it's way better than our new Federal Signal Modulator!
For real!
Our new siren sounds like a firefighters trucks sirens 😂
Sometimes you can't hear it very well in windy weather due to it's tone frequency ( if i put it correctly ) since it doesn't have that wind blasting blower.
The new one i think it is only electric speakers if i'm not mistaken.
The older one - Federal Signal Thunderbolt 7000 Series was a blast when it starts up due to it's strong blower motor at chopper level 4 X)
It gets your attention because it is causing a strong echoes around the buildings not like our failure of a siren Modulator 😑
The Attack / Wail signal gives me nice vibes. It fits for weather warnings! :3
this siren now has a new location. Its still in the same town. it used to be roof mounted at the auditorium. like the thunderbolt i filmed at grissom middle school in tinley park. and the mental health center of tinley park 1003
What town?

Thank you for making it sound realistic.
It’s real
But.. it is real..
But...this is real...
You're welcome 👍
For the repliers :
The sound in video for the pulse is a simulation ( already mentioned in video info ) but the rest of the tones are the actual sounds of the original video.
Excellent sound demo ... kudos!
Thanks X)
And special thanks to the original owner of the original video clip :)
The alert one is the one they use for tornado warnings.
TBH, that one is my personal favorite.
The pulse looks cool!
it's like the boxes at the end are solenoids inside are pistons that push one then the other one making hi low signal
Bendy and the Machine That’s how it works.
One of the best Warning Siren
Honestly probably the best mechanical outdoor warning siren ever built.
The echo on pulse sounds so amazing

Apparently some of these or combos of are really rare to be heard on Thunderbolts
I think thats mainly pulse, ive only ever seen 1 other thunderbolt do a pulse signal
Hi Lo is my favorite😀
Same
I don’t understand why they would need a fire emergency signal when they have fire trucks that do the same thing... is it for big wildfires?
You just answered it :)
Also some sirens are automatically connected ( i think ) to a smoke detector which enables it to go off in case of a certain risk of fire :)
Ngaomi Taiaroa Same
Must Agree!👍
I like the high low sounds like music and it’s not that loud
It can.
Maybe the high low sounds like a fire truck siren
I like this video it is so devastating!
Heres a better example, The horn hole has two holes in side, if you take off the horn youll see them the two rectangles are pistons with rods th3 c9ntroll panel "Timer" tell the pistons to cover the TOP hole to create the HI sound, then after about 1 second the TIMER tell that piaton to release so the other piston can cover the BOTTOM hole. Then it reapets to creat the HI LO Sound 3:25
Is each siren for something in particular or is it by Region? I’ve never heard any of them in my life. Only in movies
Warning Sirens are a civil defense electronics or mechanical outdoor warning systems which are used for any human threats such as :
1- Tornado.
2- Severe Thunderstorms.
3- Tsunami.
4- Fire call.
and etc.
each siren has a certain specified signals or tones which are used to indicate a certain notification or threat by sound or voice ( depending on the type and model )
It is recommended to read & learn what each signal or tones means - which are sounded by the warning sirens to be prepared, and follow the safety precautions & instructions.
About regions - yes - because there are a certain regions around the world which uses a certain tones or signals from the warning sirens for a different purposes.
The still active use of the siren horns, in general, is also regionally specific. In eastern Maryland, they're still a fixture of everything from weekly testing to EMS alerts to severe weather warnings. I've heard them used (up through this week) in southern Baltimore, on the UMD College Park campus, on the Washington College campus in Chestertown, as well as in Cambridge, Salisbury, Pocomoke, and Ocean City.
I thought the yeow was bad but pulse is definitely at the top of my "nope" list.
Most countries, pulse was actually warning alert.
I Love high low
So much
Never knew they had a pulse.
Not exactly this model of thunderbolt ( if i'm not mistaken ) but there are models which does have pulse signal :)
Well.. It can do pulse if you wire the solenoids correctly so they both activate at the same time instead of them alternating.
That is a neighborhood alarm clock.
@@jeffreyhueseman7061 A neighborhood alarm clock?! That's a good one Jeffrey!
Federal Signal Thunderbolt is a civil defense outdoor warning system which isn't only made for tornadoes - it is made for any civilian threats :)
About pulse signal - it is also possible with 7000 series thunderbolts.
Hi low is used in uk as a escape signal
Why is this sound so satisfying?
Ours here dont pulse or wail up and down they just have an alert tone!
That was before we had cell phone. and now we can get weather alerts on your phone but for people who don’t have phone it good they have sirens for people they need to make sure they test those sirens every mouth to make sure it works right
Sometimes they forget their phones in silent mode or in charger or etc.
Remember that warning sirens are made for any civilian threats so sometimes if it is a warning for a fire risk or tsunami - you can be informed by other sirens which has a speaker 👍
There was a earthquake which we had faced a few months ago....It lasted for a longer duration and what I did to warn the people was that I went to the roof and connnected this same siren video with the bluetooth speaker and played the siren signal in full volume.....All were alerted and ran outdoors for safety
Good way to use it 👍
But it's better to download the audio so that you can use it without internet 👍
@@aliultimate009 Yes bro....I played from downloads(Library) only 😂😂😂🚨🚨🚨
I see 😁
Love to thunderbolts!!
mineto
Wail and high and low are my fav
1:45 to 3:35 how I Wake up every Saturday and Wednesday morning Because I hear these two tones every single morning + I love Highlow so I don’t get annoyed by high low coz I have a 3t22 and a 2001 130 next to my home
I love hi lo too
I like the pulse sound
It's so damn close to the real thing oO.
Try a super-slow leslie-effect (without the woofer part) since the tweeter horns of a Leslie speaker do the same movement as the horn of this siren. :)
That is a real siren sound clip, though.
The guy recorded it.
@@Sipex6484 The intervals sounds somehow sampled oO.
@@Sipex6484 I know this is a 2 year old comments but yes the first one is a simulation or sampled from the real thing to sound as close as possible to the Pulse Signal.
The rest are real except the Pulse signal.
Hmmmm i really like the high low xd
Very nice!
Glad to know it, thanks 👍
We have a 1003 where I live and I've never heard it do the Hi-Lo
Tanner Marlow it's probably because there aren't fires because hilo is for wildfires in your area only
Me either and im in the city
@@fungordo321jk5 hi lo can be used on any signal but mostly fire calls
This is a beautiful sound from a sweet siren I only wish I had one in my area
I like the alt wail and hilo
It could've go alternate wail or hi lo pulse
The high-low sounds like a ambulance
Good
I like this one
our thunderbolt would have high/low tone. it would also start stop every 10 seconds our so. always scared me as a kid
What do they use pulse signal for?
Risk is eminent ( early warning or alert ) in some regions or used for nuclear meltdown.
Nice.
1:46
Wow Good Echo Dude!
If you're referring to the pulse signal simulation then thanks :)
No problem dude also good Echo for Wail!!!!!
And Good Alert Echo!!!
And High-Low Echo!!!
aliultimate009 I Like The tbolt High-Low
How does the pulse work and the hi-lo
One word:
Solenoids.
Did y'all see that bird fly toward and then it was like "nope" I am out of here
How many tones does the thunderbolt have?
+Derek Imler
I think about 5.
Raquel G Javier
As i know it can do those if my list is complete.
1- Steady.
2- Wail.
3- High low.
4- Fast Wail.
5- Wailing high low.
There are other possible once :
6- Pulse ( it is possible in T1003 if you customized it )
7- Wailing pulse ( i'm sure it is possible with a certain customisation - honestly i don't know if that tone is even a thing )
The pulse signal in this video is by default possible with T1000 7000 Series but it was a pulse tone simulation in this video by using a T1003 clip which is why i made the title - Thunderbolt - without adding - T1003 or T1000 - in the title.
As many as possible providing the control panel is able to create the signal. Earlier controls used code wheels and relays so they would be restricted to what they were built with. But if someone built their own control panel that stored or recieved digital data that operated a sequence of relays through something like an Arduino, it would be possible to program it to produce any signal possible.
I need the Pulse signal for my clock for every mornig to Stand Up from sleeping 😀
And i need the High-Low
@@michacz9415 same
If it's now 2001s at the fire station how do they alert about a fire?
+Skywtaker Is here
Good point :)
I expected they'll use Wail Signal since as i know - Federal Signal 2001 does not have solenoids like it's older brother - the Federal Signal Thunderbolt T1003.
aliultimate009 what would a 2001 sound like if it had solenoids
+Skywtaker Is here
Just imagine a High tone & low tone one by one then you'll know it :)
2001s use wail as fire
aliultimate009 they use the hi-lo ones
Chopper level 7?
Number 3 is our tornado siren
What does Pulse Signal means?
High low is my fire alarm at my town 💀
What causes the siren to fall quiet quickly when shutting down
Ares
I think it is the Solenoid shutting the wind from the pipe or tunnel which causes immediate silence.
aliultimate009 Oh ok
The blower at the base of the unit is on a time-delay relay set to stay on after the chopper is de-energized. This one is set short. They can be set to blow until the chopper reaches a dead stop if desired.
reverse wired
1:02 wail
Is Thunderbolt regular air raid siren or electronic siren like Whelen or Federal Signal Modulator? Because i can't recognize by the Wailing and All Clear tone, it looks like an air raid while doing these. Thanks
It's a classic traditional mechanical siren :)
It uses these parts - fan - motor - chopper & blower.
You're welcome :)
@@aliultimate009 So it's 4 parts for 4 different tones fitted in such small body right? Thunderbolt must be pretty cool and smart made siren then :)
Actually it can do 6 but i just showed 4 X)
There is *Wailing High Low* ( *A.K.A Alternate Wail* ) and *Fast Wail* :)
Also i forgot one more part known as *Solenoid* which triggers *High Low* tone :)
@@aliultimate009 And which part triggers the Pulse tone if I may ask? I guess it doesn't have any speaker. Or it can have an additional speaker for voice messages like this malfunctioning one?
ruclips.net/video/9RQaX5ry7Dg/видео.html
Actually nope.
The Thunderbolt siren is completely mechanical - no speakers.
About pulse i think it is something maybe similar to the *Solenoid* or it is in fact related to the *Solenoid* which completely blocks the sound.
Where is this siren at?
If i'm not mistaken - it's on Richland's Center.
my favorite signal is pulse
You'd be so lucky to get a good shot of a Thunderbolt 1003 doing all signals
No he did not own the clips
Federal thunderbolt: *Activating the siren initiate the sequence of the alarm * *starting right now pulse Activate * DANGER! DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!
2:41
What’s the pulse signal used for?
Eminent Danger in some regions or nuclear meltdown.
I don't think I've heard a siren do pulse before. What exactly is that signal for?
Nuclear meltdown or early warning.
@@aliultimate009 okay. I guess I've been so used to the alert and attack signals that it never occurred to me that there were more signals than those two.

What is pulse used for?
Nuclear meltdown & is used as an early warning tone in other regions.

Well not exactly this model of thunderbolt if i'm not mistaken.
Thunderbolts does pulse but it's a rare signal.
This is so scary
We're just missing two signals: Pulsed Wail and Alternate Wail

What channel is the original video on??
I received an info that the original owner of the video has passed away & i'm not too sure on which channel is the original so the best choice is to search :
*Federal Signal Thunderbolt all 3 signals.*
@ParkerMorss Currently i can't be so sure if it is the original channel or the channel which reuploaded the video, so currently i apologize for not being able to guarantee the information.
@ParkerMorss Um ... can you elaborate? 😅
Cause i believe this one is almost the same but with extra info and shorter clips.
You can find the original (from a different uploader) if you write (Thunderbolt all 3 Tones)
I'm just assuming pulse is a rare signal for sirens to run. Go ahead and tell me if I'm wrong.
You're NOT wrong 😉
@@aliultimate009 what about pulsed wail? Is that even more rare?
@@katherinetyler5543 I'm not sure if that is even a thing but there is a Wailing High-Low tone which is known as Alternate Wail.
@@aliultimate009 I think I know about that signal. That's been used mainly in Chicago. It's pretty scary, especially on days when you can't really see too far ahead of you.
I think the pulse signal was synthesized
I've mentioned in the video info that it was a simulation to the real tone, but rest assured - it was a real sound sample but was tampered with to match how it should be in reality, so it is technically not a synth 😆
