I didn't anticipate how much more frightening these would sound when combined with my fear of heights, I'd be very uncomfortable on that roof during this test.
Yep! I was a student at UC. You could hear it from campus, but if you were downtown it could floor you. I was downtown the first time I heard it, and being new to town from Cleveland had not a clue. I though Martians were going to land!
Honestly this is the one of the best and most beautiful siren ambiance I've ever heard. All the T bolts and that T bolt that's damaged made it sound just that much better.
@@deleteddeleted172 I know it is actually a federal signal thunderbolt 1000 now. I am Sheryl's son 10 year old son and was looking at the comments and found this I forgot I wrote that.
I also hear an American Signal T128, a Federal Signal STH-10, I believe one Whelen 4004 and a Federal Signal 2001-SRNB. Hamilton has an H.O.R. Super Sirex.
Did Cincinnati have these types of sirens on April 3rd, 1974? For those who might not know that was the date of the "Super Outbreak" that continued until early in the morning of April 4th. There were 148 tornadoes that struck in about 18 hours of which 7 were F5s and 23 were F4s. Southern Ohio was hit especially hard where one F5 struck Xenia, who did NOT have tornado sirens. Uhh, that was corrected.
They definitely would have, as these 4/5 port thunderbolt 1000Ts were some of the earliest Thunderbolt sirens produced. I don’t know however if they used them for tornados or not back then, they may have just been for civil defense during the Cold War.
They did. The whole system was installed in batches. Most of it was put up in the 1950's, some were installed in the 1970's to 1980's according to the ASC survey.
Hey Bluegrass Sirens Love Those Ambiance I Hear Federal Signal Jailbar Thunderbolt 1000 Also Feral Signal EOWS 1212 Prototype Federal Signal 2001-SRN And Federal Signal Modulator 2008 In Newport Doing Alternated Whale
SirenDude1003 no. The thunderbolts are made with low sounds. But the FSTBolts aren't always made with low sounds. But the lower high sound is a FSTbolt. But the freaking high one is FS2001s
I can hear about three thunderbolts, I can hear the YMCA one (5/6), the 4/5 one with the broken rotator, and the High pitched thunderbolt 1000. The YMCA and the T'Bolt 1000 are both reverse wired.
@@childishtombino1275 Uh the YMCA which was Reversed Wired I thought was gone at this time. I know the sirens we disconnected in 2015 but was this one of the last tests for them?

SirensOfCincinnati My guess is that the EMA figured we would never need to use attack anymore, so they stopped testing with it. I didn't hear the last test, do they still growl the sirens?
TornadoQuest nope; there are some Mods, 2001s, and T-128s in the mix. Sadly all of Cincinnati’s Thunderbolts have been replaced by T-128s and E-Classes
Everytime i see these kinds of videos people are doing the *EXACT OPPOSITE* of what they should. *SEEK LOWGROUND NOT THE TOP OF A BUILDING* coming from someone who lives down south where tornados happen alot. Just saying 🙂
This is Les Nessman of wkrp in cincinnati reporting live on top if a skyscraper about the nuclear attack warning. Find a fallout shelter now. 😂 Wkrp in cincinnati 😂
probably one of the best siren ambiences i've ever heard. I like how at the end you could hear modulators doing the alternate wail.
That's our city alright!
I didn't anticipate how much more frightening these would sound when combined with my fear of heights, I'd be very uncomfortable on that roof during this test.
This is one of the most epic siren ambiences ever.
Lily Dane It was awesome!
I bet it was awesome to hear in person!
Yes it was!
Yep! I was a student at UC. You could hear it from campus, but if you were downtown it could floor you. I was downtown the first time I heard it, and being new to town from Cleveland had not a clue. I though Martians were going to land!
You must have heard the one on Calhoun Hall and the EPA building

The 'bolt thats "damaged" isn't damaged, its just reverse wired.
@@United_HVAC_and_Fans no it’s not
It’s on a high chopper level
Now this is the definition of ASMR.
That's gotta be the most epic siren ambiance I've ever heard, especially since a Thunderbolt or two was mixed in. Pretty cool.
This… this is nothing short of hauntingly beautiful!
This sound strikes me and I don’t even live in Cin. About 4 hours west in Illinois. This ambience alone is legendary.
That's a beautiful view. I haven't been on the observation deck of the Carew tower since I was in 5th grade.
Old Cincinnati Siren System I Miss them All the Thunderbolts Are Inactive it’s Just sad to see the Siren System have no Thunderbolts Anymore☹️☹️
yea :(
There's some bolts in there for sure
Yeah we have like 3 left, out of like 8
Now this is my type of ASMR
man that Thunderbolt 1000 is roaring for attention
*1000T
Sounds like the thing is on chopper level 1. Might be a fire call purpose thunderbolt though.
I agree
Thunderbolt 1000s are single tone.
Thunderbolt 1000Ts are dual tone.
See?
@@EASsirenVids01 He is Talking About the 9RPM Thunderbolt 1000
All the Thunderbolts winding down at the end sounds like a crowd booing.
That 4/5 thunderbolt sounds menacing and awesome
Justin Lynch Yes it does!
SirensOfCincinnati sounds close how far away is it from the vantage point in your video?
Justin Lynch At 2:10 It is to lhe left of the flag pole facing away. The rotator is busted.
Sounds like every siren in the world is on. Excellent video.
Wow, that was an incredible video with all those sirens going off all at the same time !!!
That's some SICK ambience!
That was an amazing ambiance! If you see Andy Travis or Dr. Johnny Fever, let me know.
Sucks for people who we're at coney island since there's a 2001 srn/snrb across the road from the sunlight pool lol.
I can hear a Eclass siren and a T-128, some thunderbolt 1000ts and a modulator and a 2001-130 siren
The 2001-130 Is a Super high pitched Thunderbolt 1000

siren head lol
@@tylerray7578😐
awesome ambience!!!! :) love it!
2024 and im still watching this siren ambience because its very epic
This is absolutely incredible!
Gee. I wouldn't wanna drop my camera down there :/
I know! I'm afraid of heights and every time he walked to the edge of the building my stomach trembled!
@@troshs jb
I think he is on the Carew tower
Imagine when they used to have the Hudepohl and the one on the old fire house they tore down. Two more thunderbolts screaming on top of that.
Hudepohl was decommissioned back in 1987. But it definitely was heard loud and clear before then.
I can hear the MODS. 4j25 recorded one. They sound so peaceful to be honest.
sounds like a group of accordions, violins and clarinets warming up
0:43 just faintly hear alt wail
could you maybe zoom in to the siren because i can't see them

I can definitely hear a thunderbolt and maybe a 2001? Also I heard a siren doing alternate wail 0:36, and A T-128
That's a MOD. If you want to actually see the video of it, it's by 4j25.
Also the 2001 is a high pitched 1000
What building were you on when you recorded this siren ambience?
SirenScan63
Carew Tower
Also if it lasted that long *ITS NOT A TEST AND YOU NEED TO SEEK SHELTER*
These weren't used to warn about tornados, these were used to scare away the tornado.
Is that bank the fifth third bank, or is it the fifth, third bank. Read that again if you have to.
I was Probably 3 when this was uploaded.
Holy crap that is awesome!
Why is there a modulator running in alternate wail?
Why not
Sounds like music!
I hear a:
Modulator
2001
T-128
An EOWS
And so much thunderbolts
Correction the EOWS is actually a Modulator 2008
i hear: thundrebolt 4/5 port 1000t modulator in alt wale e class 2001 130 and 2 t 128 s
The supposed 2001 is actually a high pitch thunderbolt
I love that city
So This is What hell sounds like!
the city park place at Lytles 1000 was replaced by a asc e class
It wasn’t
Park place is now inactive, it’s been for a good while noe
Sirens I hear:fs2001 t128 alot of thunderbolts 0:37 you can hear a alternate wail wind up if you listen closely
0:36 startup of a modulator doing alternate wail you can also hear it at the end
Yeah it’s cool
Chicago Tornado Siren XD
SIREN HEAD!?!!!
@@modulator-sx8cw Shut
If you listen closely there are some mods doing alternate wail tone
To those who have Bluetooth hearing aids and are watching this: this is not bad after all.
the High pitched broken thunderbolt siren is scary on the first Wednesday of the month
high pitched broken thunderbolt?? Its not broken
Nice! Your take catches the MODs better.
Why was there a modulator or EOWS going into alternate wail?
cincy has some mods at a collage
My man, Campbell County KY does Alternate Wail on their Modulators.
@@CentralOHSirens I didn't realize it was that close
I’ve never been up there before If I was up there I can hear the sirens going on

The Carew tower
I can hear a t- 128 and a crap load of thunderbolts
