The windup speed also depends on the voltage going to the siren usually these have about 280vac to 480vac going to them if higher then faster windup speeds if lower slower windup speeds.
What really impresses me about the p50 and what makes it sound so good is the initial Echo upon spin up as the trailing sounds eventually catch up when it reaches full speed it's quite a lovely Harmony even if it's only at the start
Notes are B flat and F. It is a 5th interval in music terms. Essentially, a fifth describes a 3:2 pitch ratio between the low and high note, which is equal to 12:8 (The port ratio.)
I know it's an 8/12 port siren, but i kind of hear 3 tones in this. I don't know why, but i do. I hear the 12 port, and the 8 port, and there's i guess a hearing illusion of a 3rd, 4th port.
It’s not you. It’s simple science and physics, with some elementary school math in the mix. We need to think of 8/12 (the port ratio) as a fraction, which can be simplified to 2/3 by dividing the top and bottom by 4. This means, if you look at the rotor, there should be 4 identical quadrants. So, for 1 full rotation of the rotor, the 12 and 8 ports only sound “together” 4 times, giving the illusion that there’s a 4 port, or a 4/8/12 port ratio. A 2/3 pitch ratio is also known as a fifth in music theory. I also sometimes hear that low harmonic in a fifth when certain instruments are played, especially synthesizers.
Every time I get off the I-94 freeway and cross that big 108th Street hill near Theodore Trecker Way, I suprisingly never see this siren when I'm so high up. Probably because it's yellowness blends in with all the freaking trees surrounding the area.
The funny thing about this video is what's the sign when he's done testing? And it comes back on. Edit: Oh it always does that, I was being dumb the whole time lol
Pro Gamer Chris Paris has 7 or 8, there's 4 of these, a P15 by PHS and a couple of new FS sirens because they have started an improvement/replacement program, and they said it will take 2 FS per current siren.
Nicely done. And oh, WOW, is that a bird's nest I see hanging down from the main gear box? Never seen that before on a siren, but I HAVE seen sirens with snow in them - which gets blown out as soon as the unit fires up. The same goes for when birds are perched atop the siren head, and they get a total shock when the unit fires up. It's one of the funniest things I've seen in a siren capture.
This siren must be old but still how cool is the siren I like how it test that tornado siren looks like cool it's a mere Hydro Towers which is pretty cool I know that siren it's called a tornado siren look at the hydro Towers at the back a siren must be in your hydro Towers why is it a test in Greenfield Park
I heard this is the loudest siren I mean it's cool but really it's AWSOME and I don't think it's the loudest cause they are all loud cause I think the 2001-series and this siren are the loudest plus the air raid sirens but they aren't loud compared to one from today
I wouldn't say "so easily" because these have been here for decades and yeah with time they're gonna take a beating. P-50's do tend to have a lot of holes just cause they're so loud haha
+arey1211 I just wish they would be refurbished instead of being replaced... These were (and still are I believe) the biggest AND loudest sirens ever to be made, and why replace something that holds that title? A good refurbishment and a modernization would most likely cost less than a whole new modern siren...
+Fifthcell i completely agree with you. Kenosha refurbished their P-50's so they will be in service for a very long time. The only issue with these sirens is the incapability for battery backup. Cities looking for upgrades or replacements will only get sirens with battery backup. The T-135 AC/DC is 132dB (loudest in production and still probably largest) & it has battery backup so thats a nice choice. T-128 same way.
+arey1211 You'd think with today's tech, they would be able to modernize them by giving them that ability for battery backup... I mean, if they can refurbish them to make them sound and look brand-new, they could (possibly should) be able to give it that ability...
I have to see this thing before it’s gone, this siren is the reason I love sirens now
It is gone.
Incredible how even with a 50 HP motor, it still takes a good 5 or 6 seconds to get that huge rotor to full speed.
What is the width of the rotor
About 3 feet?
Lol imagine it had a v10 for the motor 💀
The windup speed also depends on the voltage going to the siren usually these have about 280vac to 480vac going to them if higher then faster windup speeds if lower slower windup speeds.
This siren is basically what got me into the whole siren thing. Very nice recording!!
Siren Hunters
Same here. I didn't even have an interest in sirens until I saw and heard this one.
Joelbell
Well, not THIS P-50. It was the one amtrak3501 recorded in Kenosha County, Wisonsin on 5/16/2015.
Same here 😂 this siren is a beautiful monster
This siren is basically what made me shit my pants and bawl uncontrollably whenever a tornado warning was issued for Milwaukee county haha
Midwest Siren Productions the salter park thunderbolt is what got me into sirens!
The ambience is insane
It's a Aca p-50 not an ambulance siren
@@Dmonez they said ambience not ambulance

The same P-50 that Ramfett recorded, still going strong! :)
Yea
What is a tornado alarm haven’t seen tornado alarms and this is a tornado alarm. I saw about all of tornadoes.😊
Not on the exact same spot
That thing to the left (idk how its called) was actually to the right (i think) in the video of ramfett
10k views! Cant believe it, thanks to everyone who's watched and supported.
congratulations
Congratulations
P50 tornado siren madness
100k now
Nice wind-up
the windup on this kind of siren is the best
Nikalogy the ambience is astounding
It sounds like the THX into 😂
I'm gonna set one of these up in my house as an alarm clock.
Rick OnTheDrums that would be awesome
Just hearing that when waking up would be epic
@@aether9747 although that would be the last thing that you would hear without protection
That siren is a giant bucket.
Your comment is very true there
“Trash bucket”
“Barf bucket”
Update, this p50 and the others (except for the Hurricane) are getting removed.

Now THAT is a siren.
Sounds healthy
This is what “respect the polygon” sounds like.

looks like there's holes in it
Tsiren918 sirens of oklahoma severe weather alert That’s because there is unfortunately...
The Chach cause it’s so damn loud lol
That's Because It's Made Out Of Fiberglass. That's Why it has holes.
there is. Plus years ago a storm damaged it.
It's the holy bucket!
their are more videos of the Greenfield ACA P-50s
Super! Kick Butt!!! Nice and Still healthy.
What state is that siren in I forgot that's where they don't siren is a old-fashioned
Holy bucket! That is.a holey bucket.
Hey i have holes but im still louder than you
I saw the description on a video of a P-50 in West Allis that said it was at the corner of 76th and Oklahoma. I want to know if this is the same one.
Great job for making this video of P50
where do they take p-50s after they have been replaced?
joey walden probably a scrapyard
If I get the house and money, id take it
The echo is just insaine
Just shows how loud it really is
@@stephensnell1379 ik
How loud are sirens? I've never experienced one since we're I live we don't get tornados
Tiffany Marlow this model in particular is rated at 135 dB
Attack starts at 1:46. Ur welcome
It looks like there’s a baby modulator in the background
@CA Line 1 Roleplay i know, it’s part of the joke
The funny thing about this video is what's the sign when he's done testing? And it comes back on. Edit: Oh it always does that, I was being dumb the whole time lol
I like it when it does attack
Ive heard this one in real life its very close to my school
I lived Houston for 20 years and never heard a hurricane siren
Why does it stop rotating at the Attack tone?
@539 sirenguy Okay! Thanks for the answer!
who remembers watching this siren in 2012 when you were like 4, cause i 100% remember watching this on youtube in 2012 and stuff
Paris Texas has about 4 sirens.....2 on the West side of town and 2 on the East side
Pro Gamer Chris Paris has 7 or 8, there's 4 of these, a P15 by PHS and a couple of new FS sirens because they have started an improvement/replacement program, and they said it will take 2 FS per current siren.
Those P-50s are staying. They’ll keep expanding I believe, but they’re keeping those beasts after Goddard Enterprises convinced them to.

Sorry to correct, it’s not a gearbox it’s called a Rotator and that’s what rotates the siren
@@aether9747 the birds nest is on the rotator box
Can I use this video and the ACA Hurricane one?
Amazing windup..
Whew you stop calling me toilet p-50
Atack signal ends at 2:49
It’s not a giant bucket. It’s a siren bucket.
And you are a giant toilet
Still there in 2020?
Yup
Still there in 2021?
Can you send me the link of this siren on gmaps

The horn is rotting away but it still sounds healthy!
Who lives close to a siren?
I live close to a Modulator 2008. It's 316 meters away from my house.
@@borkluchtalarm I had a sentry 10v2T less than 100 feet from my house
@@demetrijohnsonssirenvideos3590 WoW!
I got a M2 15 minutes away
dat one bucket siren that roared an echo roar that made through the city
Holy bucket, that is a holey bucket
Cool video
Why is the next to my favorite pylon
When you hear one of these giant buckets that sound beautiful but make you shit a brick at the same time go off, You better start running to safety.
Power line: SHUT UP p-50: no
Costa Rica Kids day, P-50 are happy?
This weekend and I have a great idea
I love how on some of ur scary siren videos are on "made for kids mode"😂
I call this one, the big 🪣 bucket.
P50 for the win!

they just growl and roar.
A cool video of a cool siren with a nice loud sound off!
Dat Windup Tho
The black ones look like frying pans😂
That pole is wobbly, Hope the siren doesn't fall off.
It’s really secure. It might be the age of the pole that makes it wobble, or maybe the siren itself
All these sirens sound the same
no they dont
If you're talking about this specific siren, yes
i wish i can gi to se p-50
Nice P-50
Nice shot
These these things get damaged so easily
I wouldn't say "so easily" because these have been here for decades and yeah with time they're gonna take a beating. P-50's do tend to have a lot of holes just cause they're so loud haha
