You took the words right out of my mouth. You can tell it's a CHP by the tones and pitches. Sounded different from the police and sheriff units' sirens too.
@NortheastKansasEAS It's gonna sound like LASD or LAPD so we cant tell the difference. Maybe whelen should have programmed the siren on the new control
@@chpman2013 Theyve used Whelen Cencom's for years. The new cars from now on, will have a stand alone variant instead of the one what was integrated with the MDT. The new variant doesnt have the ond CHP tones so they just used a generic tone that is in thw sirens programming
The pushbar lights seemed to be synced to the lightbar (passenger side flashes at the same time, then driver side) on the older chargers.... and this car seems to be synced at first, but then when he turns on the siren (which starts mid pitch), it's no longer synced.
My son would totally agree with you sir - Here in New Hampshire our State Police Vehicle's are either All Blue Light's or Blue/White Light's in the front & Red/Blue Light's in the back & the same thing goes for the unmarked vehicle's too.
It's the Whelen Cencom Core. Not only have they changed sirens, but they've changed computers and radios, too. Siren is really "meh", not quite as cool or distinctive as their custom Whelen siren...but it'll have to do, for now.
@@mountedpatrolman what would've been nice is if the WSSC30 Wail and Yelp tones were added to that long list of tones...but I think they went with the Core for it's other features (such as having the outer edges of the lightbar be turned off when you open the doors, having the Hi-Lo tone with a recorded evacuation warning, and more).
@@chpman2013 They are likely already in the list, there are a ton of euro sirens in there.

The Epsilon though is one of the most popular so, a lot of companies switched to those including Las Angeles Fire Department and LA COUNTY fire.
@@CWFLAEMOFC Its not sapphire. Only Carbide/Cantrol/Core can control the flash patterns of the individual light heads. Sapphire only activates the internal flasher of the light.
I’m going to miss the old siren but at-least I like the Whelen Default tone so it wont be too bad Ps the reason I say default tones instead of epsilon is because they use smart systems that are fully programmable whilst the epsilon is discontinued and not programable like the whelen core or sapphire
The siren was turned off while traveling through the residential neighborhood. It was activated when the driver approached the intersection where it would be beneficial.
What is wrong with this cars light package. Comes up to intersection everything turned off. Gets thru the intersection and the rear red light and 1 little blue pod on the left is flashing. Messed up looking unit.

That siren is hideous
@@somegermanguy7 nobody wants the old sirens
Now you won't be able to tell if it's the Ambulance or CHP lmao

Older siren stood out and most Californians knew it was a CHP car by the siren tones.

Holy crap ! That's a shocker. It's on the chargers too ! That really sucks

Oh god
Yeah, they’re using different Whelen control systems now, and I’m guessing they can’t use their old unique tones.

@@jaesox.n I started a petition
I will miss their old siren... whatever it was called.
Didn't really have a name, it was just a custom siren for them...although I think it derived from the WSSC30 siren.

I'd say those are now Whelen Core equipped.
It does not feel normal to have the New Siren instead of the old one, But it is still good

It will still be on the older units

For a sec I thought it was the D&R intimidator

It definitely started like that huh
So now they will sound like every other police car…

Amazing catch!
Dude pulled over so fast lol
Awesome catch!!

Good thing that the old vehicles will still have the Old siren, The newer siren doesnt match for me

@@dfw_fpis7655 the federal signal pathfinder does this and it drives me nuts. The system tends to "sleep" during inactivity which causes it.
nice catch
They really gotta put some more lights in the back not just the top
Great video. My problem with CHP is too much red, not enough blue.

Dodge Charger.
The perfect police car - at least to me.
No idea what police think of them.

The new CHP sirens sounds a lot like my county sheriff siren
I miss living in cail and hearing that siren in the highway :) good memories
Hell yeah I love that new siren
rip old siren you will not be forgotten 😢
I always wanted that job for the Code 3 part. The rest of it you can keep.

Finally a new siren
Oh hell nah it's sucks

yea lol
I saw some last night in Hollywood
do they have polar bear units with the 2020 charger?
That thing is Mean Looking.
Nice car
Nice!
Thanks!
Sounds like an ambulance now none is gonna yield to that anymore 😭
For real
Kinda sad cause they had such a unique custom one. Also what’s up with their light bar and push bar lights out of sync?
Looks a lil like the Police car in GTA V 😁
I know a lot of people would disagree with me but I feel like I like this new siren more

They need to bring back their old siren
They will still be on the older units 🤣
Why does it sound like a UK siren but with American to it?
Since they don’t arrest people in California for crimes anymore I wonder what the call was for.
That tends to be the one they use on Ambulances in the UK.
This is supposed to be a new siren? Still sounds like the siren they used for the past 20 years. If I'm missing something here feel free to correct me

Im pretty sure its just on the newer units setup in 2021+

Leave the old one , gets your attention !
Lol
the ULTIMATE buzz kill
Sounds like they did away with that old siren
This reminds me of fast five in Brazil
It's funny how red white and blue represents freedom until it is flashing behind you🤣😂

Idk
HEMI or pentestar?
Wait your police had a different siren?

That's was in azusa canyon

Whelen cencom core
Its Barricade from Transformers!
A code 3 is when an officer is hurt or down?
No, it’s basically when there’s a priority call where they need to respond quick.

I’m not sure that was a little interesting
The siren was turned off while traveling through the residential neighborhood. It was activated when the driver approached the intersection where it would be beneficial.
The Whelen epsilon siren
Dope Catch!! U should get a camcorder
I’m not from California but the old one was so better
Why was only one blue light flashing in the back? Anyone know?
The officer had his TA (traffic advisory) on
When the Traffic Advisor is activated the blue light stays steady.
Also CHP associates red with stop, so they put a blue light on the traffic advisor to get people to not stop at the wrong place
Not enough lights in the back for my liking lol
They aren’t really going to need that much lighting in the back unless they are responding code 3 in reverse
