Well look at what we have here. Tbh it kinda sounds like a sentry but I forgot the model. Anyways great shot, always nice to see older sirens working again.
Ian’s siren productions they were definitely produced and distributed but are thought to have all been scrapped by now with only 1 image floating around that points towards their physical existence
I was so happy to hear that my neighboring State Wisconsin holds (currently at this time known right now) the last active ACA Hurricane in the US! Currently still operating Milwaukee! Well now guess how happy I am to come to find out that there is a recently discovered Soundmaster 125 Siren in State where I live! In Gibbon! Gibbon Minnesota. Rumor has it's still set up for weather warning and for the fire department. But if you know anyone who can go up and check it out and see if they still use it, MN tests their sirens every 1st Wednesday monthly. Unfortunately for me I live a good couple hours away, and I wouldn't have time to be able to record the beutie, so if anyone sees this comment and is willing or able to check it out for yourselves, it's all yours! It's in Gibbon MN located on a water tower. It's white to match the colors of it. It's definitely a Soundmaster 125 Siren for sure.
They are tones sent from the same dispatch station that calls the fire department/ambulance/police out to fires and things. Those tones are very specific and each one has a different purpose. A receiver at each siren listens to them and if it hears the proper tones it will activate the siren.

It is capable, but I have no idea if this particular one is wired up for it or has that signal programmed into it. It isn't very likely, although it is possible.
Could possibly be, I was thinking it's probably just the acoustics of the shroud/horn - bearing in mind it actually isn't facing the camera you will only hear a more muffled sound.
I'm Suprised the guys that worked on keeping making em operational didn't lose hope after the countless problems they ran into over the years and also I think there is a second one on the other side of Oakland acres least I think there is
There is a second one in the area at Rock Creek State Park North a few miles as well. I was honestly expecting a replacement to be where this was after reading the Facebook article on it.
@@flyoversirens3704 yea wasn't that one the more problematic one due to its relative remoteness compared to the other one that's literally just a few feet from the road
@@bodes_26 I'm not sure but I know both have had their fair share of issues over the years. Frankly it's amazing this one hasn't been replaced being that the city already approved funding to buy an entirely new one once in 2009. I guess they never got around to it but it means they apparently have the funding.
These normally would rotate, but they are notorious for stripping the worm gear inside, which leaves them stuck facing one direction like this one. So you were right, the design was just sub-par!
@@flyoversirens3704 Wait, so this SoundMaster 125 is tested only on the first Wednesday at 10:00 AM while the other SoundMaster 125 is tested every Wednesday at 12:00 PM? Also No Problem!
@@flyoversirens3704 Damn! Thats Awesome! How come you guys didn't go to that SoundMaster as well? Isn't that other SoundMaster located in Rock Creeks State Park which is close to Oakland Acres, IA? If yes, could you show me where? Just trying to get as much info as I can lol!
I didn't go because I had to head the opposite direction to Texas. The other SoundMaster is located in Rock Creek State Park by the marina if I recall.
I’ve seen a few people comment on UA-cam and Reddit that these things rotate so I’m a bit curious, which part rotates? The whole thing or just the top part?
Is this the first video of a SoundMaster 125 sounding on UA-cam because I think it is? Such a shame it doesn't rotate if it's even supposed to. Also sounds like a weak return spring for the high tone damper because you hear it shut shortly after the siren starts to wind up.
I myself am amazed too that this siren is still working as much as it is and hasn't been replaced. When I saw the notification I did a double take because I thought none of these sirens worked any more. This is UA-cam siren history here. The first, and maybe last video of a SoundMaster 125.
Where did anyone hear that it has been inactive for 10 year? It’s only been non-functional since late last year, and they waited until the weather warmed up to get it fixed.
It was broken in 2009, they approved to replace it and nothing happened. To my knowledge there was no record of any action taken between then and now. I could be wrong though.
Flyover Sirens read the meeting minutes on the city’s website. They talked about it not sounding for a warning in October or November 2019, and subsequent meetings discussed having it repaired, which was confirmed to me via email
@@OhioOutdoorWarningSirens Well I'm alive lol. I haven't had much chance to make any content since this because of some crazy stuff going on. I will be able to exist again hopefully sometime soon. Thank you for asking! I have to survive the last semester of senior year and then I can be a lot more active.

Congrats on the first one to film it!
Ik these things are awesome glad he filmed it
Even if the rotator doesn't work, this thing sounds epic!
The town north of me has one of these. But the horns are facing opposite directions.
That thing literally shredded a bird’s nest and/or birds! At least one got away! 😂
Lol we ran up to it while it ran up and I got some in my mouth! It rained down for a good 30 seconds after it started! lol
@@flyoversirens3704 I dunno but that sounds like a good way to get some weird bird related illness...
@@Snowcube You make a good point. I'm probably patient zero for the next global pandemic. Lol

@@MonkeyFilmProductionsWHAT THE
There’s another one in Rock Creek State Park!!
Well look at what we have here. Tbh it kinda sounds like a sentry but I forgot the model. Anyways great shot, always nice to see older sirens working again.
I've been looking for something like this for a long time. My hometown in Kansas had these back in the 70s.
where if you dont mind me asking, I might go have a visit and ask the local fd about it
It looks and sounds like a leafblower
Wow! Always wondered what one of these sounded like!
Wow. I have never actual video of one of these! This is awesome! and it is still active!
Congrats on making history!
Thank you!
This Is A Siren Enthusiast's Dream Come True!
Congratulations on making history! That is so awesome!
Absolutely fantastic video, this thing sounds amazing!
Thank you!
it sucks because the bird was an endangered kesteral falcon :(
oh my god. You did it! Now someone ought to find that damn alertronic 5000
Wishful thinking lol
Is a 5000 a real siren or a concept
Are alertronic 5000s real sirens or just a concept
Ian’s siren productions they were definitely produced and distributed but are thought to have all been scrapped by now with only 1 image floating around that points towards their physical existence
theres probs some leftover one in bloody nowhere, in some remote place in like Wyoming xd but the possibility is VERY slim

Wait so you live in Milwaukee?
It's on the water tower at 1173 1st Ave
Really cute invention or new siren to me; for other places, it’d be rare!
Sorry about the ear blasting tones in the beginning lol. Probably should have turned it down a bit.
What even are those? I am not a siren person so I have no idea what that is

@@flyoversirens3704 Yep
Nice video! I think this is the first one on YT if im not mistaken
I think you're right!
MusicCitySirens and you can thank me for finding it
I was very exited when this happened
I think it’s supposed to rotate
Sound master 125 write: coded siren with a broken rotater, 8/12 port siren. Painted yellow and cIvIl DeFeNcE cOnFeRmEd.
Clearly sounds like the damper on the 12-port side is stuck closed.
Yeah, I was thinking for a sec about that. Speaking of dampers, can this thing do Hi-Lo?
It is capable, but I have no idea if this particular one is wired up for it or has that signal programmed into it. It isn't very likely, although it is possible.
Could possibly be, I was thinking it's probably just the acoustics of the shroud/horn - bearing in mind it actually isn't facing the camera you will only hear a more muffled sound.
So rare always wanted to see what these sounded like
Hear
New news! There is another in Nebraska, but it looks destroyed
Are you talking bout the sutherland one? Cuz it looks like the people manually rotate the horns.
The Ethonal plant?@@I_also_like_sirens_hehe
@@valvebread (hellishly late reply) yes
Is this the soundmaster 125 only active in the entire country
May I paint the siren blue and fix the rotating mechanism on the Soundmaster 125?
Interesting looking siren!
Awesome siren and video!

@@bodes_26 I doubt it. I didn't hear anything personally.

About time!
Awesome video Carson!
Thanks man!
I always thought these would rotate, shows no much I know lol
These normally would rotate, but they are notorious for stripping the worm gear inside, which leaves them stuck facing one direction like this one. So you were right, the design was just sub-par!
Where is the address? I’m in Des Moines so I should be able to catch a test vid here As long as we find it
Why is it not rotating? I know SoundMaster 125 do a rotation
What happened to the rotator?
They constantly break
I'm getting Sentry vibes from this thing.
The wind down sounds a little scary
Also it’s a P-50
I thought this siren would rotate
It does but they constantly break
Is that thing supposed to rotate
Yes but the mechanism is broken
Awesome job!
OWS crazy1 i think the rotaters are broken and the birds nest have been shread
RIP bird's ears😔....
Epic siren moment
Too bad it didn't rotate
Yes it does. They use a worm gear to turn the entire housing around the siren.
Flyover Sirens report it to the ema
He/she/they doesn't mean the siren doesn't rotate generally, but that it didn't rotate in the vid.
@@gian3248 I'm a he just so you know
How the hell this became active.How old is this siren.Didnt it worked before?answer my questions as a reply if anybody can.
I never even know about this siren!! Except that it scares the sh*t out of birds right outta their nests. But that's all sirens pretty much lol.
Sounds a lot like a Sentry or something
P-50
The YES!
Oooh that's awesome
Is there a Diagram on how the Rotation Mechanism works?
WTH! I thought this was inactive. Is the other one still there? Anyways Awesome Video!
The other one is active as well and tests every Wednesday at 12:00. Thanks!

It does.
I see a rotator box?!
Yes it rotates but the rotation box always breaks
*cyclone intensifies*
pretty damn fit
looks to be coded
FINALLY
Now people can use the sound from this video to make synths! (Plus Roblox can now make more of these sirens!) Congrats for making history on youtube!
Sounds like a S.O.N.G.S model 120
ooo my state
Would this rotate?
Yes but they always break
aca sound master
hell yeah!!!
Jammed rotator? Also congrats on making history!! Great video, sounds amazing!
The way they built the horns was great, but they had problems making them rotate
They usually always failed
Wow!!!!
I’ve seen a few people comment on UA-cam and Reddit that these things rotate so I’m a bit curious, which part rotates? The whole thing or just the top part?
Both horns rotated.
Can I use this?
Is this the first video of a SoundMaster 125 sounding on UA-cam because I think it is? Such a shame it doesn't rotate if it's even supposed to. Also sounds like a weak return spring for the high tone damper because you hear it shut shortly after the siren starts to wind up.
I believe it's the first, yes. It would have been nice to see some rotation but hey, it went off. That in and of itself is a miracle.
I myself am amazed too that this siren is still working as much as it is and hasn't been replaced. When I saw the notification I did a double take because I thought none of these sirens worked any more. This is UA-cam siren history here. The first, and maybe last video of a SoundMaster 125.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It is
Wow, inactive for 10 years? Why did they re-activate it again?
I'm not really sure. Best guess is someone complained enough to finally get some action.
Where did anyone hear that it has been inactive for 10 year? It’s only been non-functional since late last year, and they waited until the weather warmed up to get it fixed.
