  • Siren Manufacterur: Whelen
    Siren Name: WPS-4004 (Generation II)
    Pole Height: 80 Feet
    Tones Used: Voice, 440 Hz Alert
    Activation: DTMF
    Failures: 8th Voice Activation
    Date: 7/2/19
    Installation Date: 1996
    Notes: So for one thing, I met up with loudThunderbolt1003 (Donald) and my friend Alex to see this siren, it was acutally a 50/50 chance it would even go off! Compared to the previous times I've heard this siren, it would frequently fail. I was so happy that this one time it would actually sound. I was although a little dissapointed the last voice activation didn't sound, especially when it was at the perfect angle with the camera. Donald used his Iphone to record this, and I recorded the ground level shot with my Motorola. Unfortunately, this video does not include ambience as we had to trim the video down to 8 minutes because of video rendering issues when uploaded. Another funny point is the fact that not even 5 minutes before the test was to begin, a police officer questioned us. They didn't mind, apparently standing next to the water tower can insight danger as they don't "want tresspassers to damage the water tower". I found that odd, but the experience was definently still enjoyable.

    Love the old style Whelen voice. Around here, Wadsworth custom requested the old voice message on their newest Whelen 4004, installed in 2012.

    what's the difference between a whelen vortex and a 4004?

    • @cydneywopart6238
      @cydneywopart6238 3 роки тому +1

      4004s can do voice and only certain tones such as alert, attack, and hi lo, vortex’s can’t do voice and can play different tones like airhorn, they also have different drivers.

      whelens site has the audio files as playable audio clips of messages and tones (will sound different on normal speakers due to them being made for high output compression driver systems aka they sound shrill and tinny as hell lol)

    They always speak in that halting manner that makes it hard to string the words together mentally. It's like they think that to speak a little more slowly means just put pauses between the words.

    • @dasarge84
      @dasarge84 3 роки тому

      its done to make the words more legable if they spoke normally without the pauses it would make the message harder to understand and easelly confused the words are said faster to keep the message from dragging out too long tests it dont matter so much but these are defult messages programmed by whelen ( sirens location is taken into account as they are made to order)

    • @djijspeakerguy4628
      @djijspeakerguy4628 10 місяців тому

      No expert, but it’s likely due to the fact that it’s a rotating siren, so for everybody to hear it, it has to play the voice message pointing in different directions. Those other models that are not rotating sirens only have to repeat it one time.
