  • The March 2024 test of Hertfordshire Oil Storage Ltd's Buncefield terminal warning siren.
    The siren, a Klaxon ES2, is tested twice a year by agreement with local authorities. It runs the incident tone - Klaxon's hi-lo - followed immediately afterward by a steady tone, which signifies "all clear". Since my previous visit in September 2020, the siren appears to have been replaced, which has led to a change in the pitches of the hi-lo tones - a slight improvement in my opinion!

    Wow that is an interesting change of pitch to the hi lo tone, now it is basically the French fire tone, nice video!

      Completely new siren to boot! Took me way too long to work that out lol
      Only realised once I compared the thumbnails and this one had stickers, which it didn't have last time...

    Oh wow! A new ES? Never expected to see that here but that’s an awesome video of this new ES. I kinda like that high pitched French Fire Tone 🔊

      Surprised me too! Failed to clock it wasn’t the same siren despite it having mysteriously gained stickers etc. Kinda just assumed it would be the same, and probably would’ve predicted the same tone even if I’d realised the horns had been replaced! Love it regardless 😂

    That’s such a cool sound! Does sound nicer now I think.
    Great catch as always.

      Well it certainly used to be, but they replaced the un-stickered one I filmed last time with this newer one. I can never remember which is the Value siren and which is the Superior, so I've just left off the suffix lol

      @@CycloneJoey518 I'm no expert on these but I guess that's single/dual-toned when sounding the wail tone? Also surely they could just change the files on the controller regardless of its Value/Superior status
      I'd always assumed the Superiors didn't have the Klaxon sticker and the Value sirens did, but that may be completely misguided lol

    Very nice recording! Is it just me, or does the siren begin to sound a bit off at 1:36?

    • @hmsirensandfirealarms
      @hmsirensandfirealarms 3 місяці тому

      It’s dual tone, I think it just depends on how the wind carries the certain frequencies

    • @al66class59
      @al66class59  3 місяці тому

      Might be a bit of wind direction, a bit of microphone stuff and so on… siren itself didn’t sound that different at points during the test, besides the stark change in pitch from previously!
