- This is a mystery siren since it sounds like a GP12 and seems to have the motor of a Secomak siren aswell. Ireland seem to have these sirens but the name of them is unknown so I will probably class this as an Irish siren.
This siren is tested every Friday at noon (12:00pm)
Hope you enjoyed the video, and huge shoutout to the guard who let me film this 🔊😁

The reason I class this as a “mystery siren” is because it seems to be a hybrid of a Castings and Klaxon/Secomak. The siren looks as if it has a Secomak motor and rotors but has Castle Castings stators and mount. The sound of this siren aswell doesn’t quite match up with a Castle Castings either. Before you say this is a single phase Castings, if you listen to the video that Heritage War Sirens uploaded of his friends single phased Castings, you will hear that the wind up is much slower and the pitch is higher. I don’t know what to call this siren that is seen at this base because no one really knows the name of it, but it seems UK and Ireland have more of these models in places such as Belfast, Newton Aycliffe and Thames use this siren too. It sounds identical to a GP12 but quieter and slightly lower pitched.
Maybe its some other model Castings made, like a GP12 equivilant?
@@CycloneJoey518 it wasn’t even that loud though
@@hmsirensandfirealarms I'm thinking it could've been a Castings that was rebuilt with spare parts
@@CycloneJoey518 But these are exactly the same as the Irish sirens, so it’s probably a company we don’t know of
@@hmsirensandfirealarms I doubt it personally, I think its more likely to be a model we don't know about from Carter or CC
This is wicked! Definitely sounds like a Castle rather than a GP12 imo. Has that very old school lower pitched undertone to it. Lovely stuff!
@@yeongsuma yeah it seems to have a Secomak motor and what looks like rotors too, but Castings stators and mount. This really is a mystery siren. It’s really similar to the Irish ones
This is so sick, awesome video!
@@thewashateriawandererzayne4376 thank you! 🔊😁
Excellent video!!! Well done for putting in the effort to go and see that one.
@@mrmattandmrchay Thank you very much Matt! I was planning on this for months and finally got the chance lol, you got any more siren plans soon? 🔊
@@hmsirensandfirealarmsthat siren sounds exactly like the sirens at newton aycliffe as the wind down is faster than a Carter castle castings or similar siren with a longer air raid style attack signal. I bet its a custom set up but the newton aycliffe sirens defo sound a hybrid air raid signal like the gents at hampton court. It has a faster attack signal. This siren sounds nice rather than a harsh saw like tone of a carter gents castle castings or a secomak GP/CS8
@@jezcolborne6329 the Gents at the Hampton is also one of these models, no one really knows what model this is for sure but you are absolutely right about Newton Aycliffe aswell! 🔊😁
@@hmsirensandfirealarms i wish i could see the newton aycliffe sirens on street view
@@hmsirensandfirealarms so the siren on the hampton court waterworks is a frankenstien siren like this one. I love the way it sounds like a klaxon GP12 as its not harsh and it dousnt sound like a a hand planer like the secomak or a gents ect. Did you know australia has a very odd dual rotor siren that looks like a large gents but the rotors are the ssme size as the motor housing . It has a large motor housing and has a rather haunting sound to it. its on laydley fire station
Very nice siren test, indeed!👍
Thank you very much! 🔊🤩
@@hmsirensandfirealarms Your welcome. I saw the livestream you did but I didn't watch it unfortunately because I didn't have time, also I have made some videos of some of my fire alarm sounders if you haven't seen them yet.
Very cool!
@@CycloneJoey518 Thank you! 🔊😊
She sounds gud. Nice work
Thanks! 🔊😁
Awesome!!!
@@alarmmuseum cheers! 🔊😁
Brilliant 👏 👏
0:31 Signal: Attack.
Its not the air raid attack. Seems to be a custom attack tone or the siren has stiff bearings witch makes the wind down faster
Great video as always dude! I wonder if this was made by Gryphon as they made some unusual looking sirens I was told, there is someone in the US who owns a Gryphon 2048 and it looks very similar to a vertical mount single tone Carter
@@WhelenWPS2803 yeah I wonder what type this is. You could be onto something! 🔊
things quite loud isn't it
@@Mayah_Abelman yep 🔊🤣
No Tripod?
No, this was filmed at an M.O.D site and I didn’t want to have a big camera set up aiming at their site lol 🔊
@@hmsirensandfirealarms ok
Where abouts did you see this siren. What the gps. I can’t find the location. I’m gonna drive up on Friday to see it.
Thanks again Camy
@@Indiecovers1985 it’s right behind the Leuchars Station! 🔊
@@Indiecovers1985 you can only really record it from this angle because there are security that can stop you. It’s hard to explain where this is but it’s behind the road next to the station
@hmsirensandfirealarmsits the cowie industries siren that douse that nice growl before it douse the newer attack signal
@hmsirensandfirealarmsits a nice dounding siren and not raspy like most secomak castle castings or carter. Its more like a KLAXON GP12 although its not. I can hear a little bit of the deep undertone but not as mutch as a SECOMAK GP/CS8 or KLAXON GP/CS8. Its old school but with less of the low buzz undertone unlike other coldwar or newer dual tone sirens. Thats why i love the sound of a KLAXON GP12 as its not as ear numbing and i like these british mistery sirens.
What are you thinking doing?You are pulling the siren Again why you are not good?You're very, very, very, Bad
