  • This siren is located at an intersection and is also very, very close to some houses. I would not like to live here. Of all of the sirens I've seen, some of them are ridiculously close to houses and it drives me crazy because of the fact that the people who happen to be living in the houses have to hear this every first Wednesday at 1:00.

    That has to be the most beautiful and loudest sound I’ve ever heard in my life. And it drives me insane to hear that loud noise especially when you’re outside and that siren goes off. But despite the very loud noise, it’s still a very beautiful sound.

    @doverpoint1 The bottom circle is the intake opening. The choppers are inside there spinning, drawing in air through the intake. the sound from the choppers comes out the top opening. There are 2 choppers, each producing a part of the tone, so it is a dual-toned siren. Each chopper has a certain amount of ports, or openings. The more ports, the higher the pitch. Allertors usually are 8 and 12 port choppers i believe.

    ACA sirens use directional rotors, meaning they put out the most sound spinnig in a counterclockwise direction. Since the rotator is drive off the siren motor itself the siren spinning clockwise is a clear indication that the outer two legs of the three phase need to be swapped around.
    It isn't a problem with the single phase ACA's, since they use center tap motors and will only run in one direction.

    these kind of sirens to me are too loud and they sound a little scary on the attack mode. back about 10 years ago we had a siren like this one in the video 1 street over from where I live and every month on monday at noon it would sound. even though we lived 1 block over from where the siren is it still was quite loud. I cant imagine if you lived a few feet from one of these sirens you would surely get deaf or close to being deaf. now in my town these sirens have been replaced with 2001s.
