Our fire company had one mounted to the roof of our old fire hall,and when it wound up it sounded like it would come threw the roof,shaking the place so hard,& dimming the lights every time it wound up. I miss it to this day. An the little FS one we have now can barley be heard down the street.
The 3 phase single tone 16/16 port Sterlings are insanely loud within 200 or so feet of them, and they get from 0 to loud in about half a second. Good examples would by my video of the M-10s in Haskins, or Waterville. I think this Sterling was a bit quieter in person because it was dual toned, it seems a bit more subdued. The audio in the video is certainly quieter because of the location of my external mic (approx. 300 feet away from the siren).

During the windup it sounds kinda like a leaf blower
DAT ECHO creepy
it sounds like a sentry 10V2t
Status on scary town for that kind of tornado siren

Just how loud are these horizontal Sterlings?
Siren Hunters Suprisingly loud.

There was a FEMA sheet listing the outputs of a bunch of stuff from the 1960s that listed these as 115 @ 100'
