ACA manuals for the original Hurricane said that it could come in 8/8 port, so this is what they would have sounded like if any were installed. The original Hurricane was always rare, so it is likely that none were installed. The first generation of hurricanes were avaliable in 10/12, 8/12, and 8/10 for dual tone. They came in 8/8, 10/10, and 12/12 for single tone. Dual tone models could have dampers installed.
@@lilaj34siren hurricanes came in single and dual tone. single tones were 8, 10, and 1 2's port and dual tones were standard 8/10, 10/12, and 8/12 port with 7/10 being rumored to have been available. Only 8/10 was used
That’s actually a Screamer S-10. The only siren in the Screamer series that was 8 port is the S-10, which was offered in 9/12 dual tone and 8 port single tone.
I live in jefferson wisconsin so we have a aca screamer s10 but it is reverse wired and has a long winddown and thr intake is taped down and i must say, on attack it sounds amazing!
@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL The top of the siren is supposed to be separated from another skirt via some screws. There should be an opening. As you can see here there isn't really at all, the top cover is resting right on the intake
@@JMANWiSS yeah so it means that the intake is on top. I thought it is on the bottom, and the top is a motor housing. But it sounds pretty loud to me, but it really isn't good bc you can't hear it over a mile. Which is a problem. Really looks like the intake is not getting any air. They should replace it or get a skirt to separate the two cover, so the siren can get air easily
Yeah that's what I had heard. ED stopped using their sirens for weather a number of years ago now, both vortexes are turned off and abandoned if they haven't been removed all together by now.
Wow, this really does sound like a Hurricane. I’d totally mistake it for one if I didn’t see the screamer first!
Yeah.
With the fast windup and slow winddown, it sure does
Totally thought that was a Hurricane for a second
Sure sounds like one
@@JMANWiSS yuh

Nate's Trains if only there were surviving examples
I don't think any were ever installed, but it is possible that a community had one at one point.
DAMPERS?
@@natestrains1166maybe South Africa?
AKA single tone Hurricane.
Tru Dat
I think not AKA but ACAa
@@chara9201 he meant also known as a single tone hurricane
So that's what an 8/8 port hurricane would sound like!
I guess!
@Timofey Kozyrev wrong you are sir. Hurricanes are 8/10 port

@@lilaj34siren hurricanes were only ORDERED in 8/10 port
Hurricane with clogged high tone
That’s actually a Screamer S-10. The only siren in the Screamer series that was 8 port is the S-10, which was offered in 9/12 dual tone and 8 port single tone.
Awesome video! It does really sound like a hurricane though...
It sounds so beautiful.
It sounds like lord
Why did I comment this lol

Sounds very beautiful!
Thats the new command truck
It sounds great!!!
When your city can’t afford a hurricane 8 Port screamers done
Very interesting sound.
Now we just need the 10 port! And then it’ll sound just like a Hurricane! Only Omnidirectional!
Sounds like the intake is plugged up.
Indeed.
@@JMANWiSS how does it get blocked? Does it have a dampner for pulse?

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL Without The Top All That Debris Gets Collected On The Top Causes Impaction
Upper left hand corner after you set it down you can see what looks like the screamer
@@1000BT Its there. You just gotta look really closely at 0:21.
I think they bought it in the seventys
As of October 2022 streetview, the building was demolished and the siren is gone.
Yeah that's what I had heard. ED stopped using their sirens for weather a number of years ago now, both vortexes are turned off and abandoned if they haven't been removed all together by now.
Sounds like Hurricane! Cool!
8 port hurricane mystery solved
I use to live in east dubuque they had the sire on top of police station but took it down it was too loud
what siren was it?
It's preety old still runs it's in downtown east dubuque on top of city hall it's not hooked up
Wonder if this also does a noon blast. You can tell that the top cover fell down and pretty much blocked any air intake. Awesome video!
I will try it for a noon blast this week maybe. And thank you!
@@JMANWiSS it’s been 2 years where is it
I tried nothing happened at noon
@@JMANWiSS oh sh
They had the siren since 1970
they used the same motor as the hurricane, or does it have a secret damper thats stuck shut
Sounds Like A ACA Hurricane 130
Sounds like a single tone hurricane.
