Actually they are real bells, they are the ones from the old Heavilon Hall. There are speakers in there as well to do the nightly music and they say "to assist in campus emergencies". I thought the bells were fake too based upon the myth that they are, but after research I discovered that they're real, and you can actually see the clapper move and strike the bell. Also love the video about the old system! Now it's all Eclipse 8's and a few 2001s... no more Thunderbolts. The last Thunderbolt in West Laf was just removed in August 2016; the building it was on was demolished. They put a 2001-130 in its place. EDIT: Just saw your video about the new system after I posted the comment. Oops!
Fuck all these other siren ambiances, this shit is amazing!! These types of ambiances have that nice lo-fi kick that sounds oddly scary but bearable. I wish Purdue never took down these sirens and just kept these up.
Hey bro, perfect fact, when you find the location, just travel back 2007 or 2009 google maps clicking the clock icon, I seen the 2T22 but it's blury. too bad i can't find the thunderbolt and the 2001.

You know, unfortunately I don't and I don't know why. I think I was more interested in system recordings back in college when I lived up there so I was always getting those. I wish I would have recorded each of them since they're now gone. Travis Tilley has one (ua-cam.com/video/LTMF8sJZFpM/v-deo.html) and some additional ambiance recordings on his channel from years ago.
Can't beat older sirens they just have that edge and that fierce growl/ambience that modern electronic ones just can't compete with 👌
Thunder Child like most older things they’re just better
Ikr they sound more scary
@@canamx399 couldn't agree more 👏🏻
i like old sirens too
@@canamx399 AGREED
(FYI: I use a wall mounted Rotary Telephone That Came With My House
This is still the greatest ambience video on UA-cam.
SirensAlarmsAndMore check out the t bolt ambiance video even more goose pimpley
Yes, as well as Chicago
And tmi (old)
@@sirenfreek that one and the series of tmi ambiance videos are tied for first on my list
The way the 3t22's wind up is actually kinda spooky
And the 2t22
I love the way how 2t22s and 3r22s stand out from other sirens but also another siren that could stand out from the rest is the Sentry 10V2T
yeah it does
6 years later and it’s still perfecto
man that 3T22 that winds up at 0:17 is beautiful. by far one of the healthiest i've ever heard to date. nice video!
That was the one on the pharmacy building. The other healthy one was on earhart hall. I know some of their old sirens had motor problems.
@@aaronreichler2570did they ALL get replaced?
It sounds so good and calming, I love how harmonious the 2T22/3T22 siren sounds.
This might honestly be one of my favorite siren ambiences ever!
I remember the nostalgia when I first watched this video when it was first uploaded many years ago.
This brings back memories...
It's what got us outta bed at 3am, before pagers and phone dispatch apps...in all kinds of weather
Am I the only one who finds this Calming?
CSX Railfan 1000T me
You’re not the only one
Jacob Webber they also alert you of danger saving you as well if there is
No me too
I find it very claming also.
That 3t22 sounds nice with the other sirens
One of the best siren ambience videos on UA-cam!
Two sirens at one view point that's a dream come true
You just can't beat the sound of a 3T22
Sounds so musical! I love it!
The sound is so satisfying!!
Now, It is all new federal signals. RIP sirens; you were good to Purdue.
Crocodile Playz Eclipses, actually
Oh. All those dumb new ones
The wavy sound from the xT22 is epic. Love it.
Sounds much better than the newer system.
Agree
Single tone sirens can't compete with dual tone. Dual is what we all like
obviously
This sound's beautyfull!!!
What a shame that they are all replaced :(.
I love the sound of the federal 3T22.
This is probably the most best sounding ambiance I ever heard in a long time except okarche Oklahoma siren system
Despite not being an Allertor, this is still very Amazing!
that's why I love dual tones sirens
Thank you for bringing it back!!!!!!
It sounds so harmonic! Is that a siren in the bell tower or does it just look like it?
No siren in the bell tower. And those aren't even real bells! There are speakers in the bells.

its beautiful, so musical! beats any new system
Would anyone else like to time travel with me back to the early 2000s and hear this ambience?
Yes
Yes.
Honestly yeah
Interesting to see a video like this.
I hope some siren collectors got the sirens from the old system saving them from scrap
It sounds AMAZING! even though the quality isnt the best
i think of it as two brothers face to face each other just sounding off
Fuck all these other siren ambiances, this shit is amazing!! These types of ambiances have that nice lo-fi kick that sounds oddly scary but bearable. I wish Purdue never took down these sirens and just kept these up.
I Was Just There Looking At The FS Eclipse-8s There About 2 Weeks Ago.
Alright now just need to add the sounds of nuclear missiles launching to add the icing on the cake
Beautiful
Sounds soothing😉
Great video for ambience
Nice 3 2t22s in a shot!
That’s a whole lot of sirens!
calming sounds
Sounds beautiful.
Music to my ears
It is the Mystic Horn Choire™... They 𝐻𝒜𝑅𝑀𝒪Ñ𝐼𝒵𝒞𝐸。
Missed this video ;)
cant beat that
Nostalgia.
Doesnt it sound like the mix of sirens make a sorta 4/5 port thunderbolt?
So harmonised
What is that mysterious black thing moving on top of the center water tower? Go to 1:23
There's a light flashing on top of the water tower. The camera quality is just so bad that you can't tell :)
@@squiddy7863 A strobe beacon that goes off when the sirens are tested?
Would be even more creepy if the moon was just over the horizon and the sirens were sounding wail.whoooooo
Hello my name is talon
10/10 i wish i could use this for my alarm clock lol
I weny on google maps i found the yellow xt22 but the black xt22 when it got replaced by the eclispe 8 it wasnt there
That's sad

Welch Oklahoma has 2t22 tornado sirens
Wow!
a black 3T22 and 2T22?
You are recording at every siren
I heard the thunderbolts then the 2001s then the 3t22 and 2t22
Let me guess the 3T22 is the single tone siren that's high pitched with a stuck damper (not the 2001)
I even hear a t128 siren too
That’s probably just the dying STH-10. No ASC sirens in the county.
@@squiddy7863 ok but I miss the old sirens
Who watched this, is gonna have a good life
The 2t22 & 3t22 have the same 10/12 chopper
Yeah we all knew that BUT WAIT 2T22S AND 3T22S HAVE TWO CHOPPERS
CEC Productions dumbass one chopper is 10 port and the other is 12
yes. Why don’t you stay out of peoples business
Sirens And Railroads of Oklahoma lol that deleted person is me, I was pretty stupid back then.
3t22 is 2t22 with dampers
Wait all I can hear is 3ts and 2ts
Wow cool but Is that a siren in the clock tower?
where was the bolt

I bet you the equipment's really old I'm from that year
freakfire57 it is a church bell in the bell tower
Does one of the 3t22s have a stuck high tone damper?
Federal signal fammily
Do you have individual videos of them?
You know, unfortunately I don't and I don't know why. I think I was more interested in system recordings back in college when I lived up there so I was always getting those. I wish I would have recorded each of them since they're now gone.

volcan Popocatepetl sirens en Puebla y tormenta suprlle
0:03 ??
The test was taking a long time to start so I was bored and threw a snowball at a sign.
@@squiddy7863 The throw was so perfectly timing and loud that it sounded like as if someone pressed a switch and all the sirens started to sound.
I think you need to replace your microphone cuz it's getting a little cracklin have a great day
This video is from 12 years ago. I have new equipment now. Have a great day.
@@squiddy7863 NICE COMEBACK MAN!!!!
