For anyone wanting to know what the text at the beginning says: Disclaimer: Not all sirens run on batteries. Most new (post-1980s) Federal Signal, ASC, and Sentry sirens run on batteries, but some still run on AC power. All ATI and Whelen sirens run on battery power. For Federal Signal sirens, you can tell if one is battery powered if there is one large control box and one smaller control box. All Sentry battery-backup and battery powered sirens will have a “-B” in the model code. ASC battery-powered sirens will have two or three large control boxes instead of just one. AC-only sirens only run off of mains power. AC/DC sirens use mains power until there is a mains failure, and then uses battery power for backup. DC-only sirens only run off of batteries.
Interesting. In Germany, we only have grid-powered sirens, the main difference is if they use compressed Air, an interrupted airflow or electricity (like a giant speaker). But Germany doesn't have remote areas like the US.
Thats the reason why they test them.. to avoid situations like this in a real situation. They've heard they malfunctioned so they will start working on them.
I can understand why many people are very enthusiastic about sirens like this. I didn't expect to be as fascinated by them as I am. I like the old internet style of editing, it's nostalgic in a way.
He probably spent a lot of time planning around that day and getting there and setting up his camera and tripod in time for the test, just for the battery to explode in an unimpressive puff of smoke. I can totally understand his reaction.

I don't talk about how much i love tornado sirens enough. Their sound is terrifying. Don't get me wrong, but i hold such admiration for our wailing protectors of the sky.
For anyone wondering what’s wrong with Siren 4, well, this poor fella has been abused by people who hate its sound, and so some of this siren’s wires have been cut. It’s not dead batteries.

4:11 this is most likely cause by the individual speaker drivers, they probably had a blown coil / coil rub somehow causing this sound or the circuit board failing to put a even signal through the drivers.
Yeah, a lot sirens can be ordered with that setup. They call that an "AC/DC" setup. Some systems can even be manually selected to operate from AC, DC, or AC w/ DC backup. But they are more expensive than the sirens that strictly run off battery power.
They are mostly for warning people to seek shelter when a tornado has "touched down" as we call it. Large portions of the American midwest and great plains are at risk every spring through late summer of tornados. I live north of Dayton Ohio and a few years ago the Dayton metropolitan area (which has over 800,000 people) had multiple tornados on the same day, 19 altogether, all within 24 hours. This was a very unusual storm but still we need the sirens to make sure people seek shelter because we have tornados every single year and in my adult life I cannot remember going through a single summer where I didn't experience at least one tornado warning for my county. We also have cell phone transmitted warnings and TV and radio broadcast interruptions along with the sirens. The sirens are obviously for people who may not be near a tv or radio and don't have their cell phone. They are still an important part of the severe weather warning system.

Does a normal Whelen Vortex Run on batteries too? Btw Nice fact!
All of these are hilarious. Except the fact they're all signs of terrible maintenance.
That's why they're tested
Thats the reason why they test them.. to avoid situations like this in a real situation. They've heard they malfunctioned so they will start working on them.
They are meant to be installed and that's it last for 10 years get updated or replaced with tests every once and a while
Probably all put in under some federal program and never touched since

It needs a hardstyle beat with a gated kick. That's all.

It Sounds Almost Morse code like.
I can understand why many people are very enthusiastic about sirens like this. I didn't expect to be as fascinated by them as I am.
I like the old internet style of editing, it's nostalgic in a way.
It's straightforward, cuts straight to the point, no sponsors, just what you wanted to see when you clicked on the video. It just makes sense.
Imagine if these things had the equivalent of the low battery chirp of a smoke detector.
They might actually be maintained then lol
1:31 pretty much this comment.
it’d be annoying as heck

It was an explosion. Probably took him by surprise
