I just love the sound of this Siren. I remember the day when I responded to assignments with this noise wailing in the foreground. Those were the days.
My dad was one of the owners of Scientific Prototype. Back in the late 70's we had one of these in the family car, a gray ford Grenada. For test purposes only (wink wink) Lots of fun. Scared the crap out of a lot people in Howard beach.
I wish I could find one of these..very unique-especially the low tones that can be selected after sliding the switch on the right as shown at 00:36 in the video.. a very unique sound not heard on any other unit!
I see there are many negatives postings about the SP series siren. I will always have high regards for the brand. They were installed in my Department issued vehicles throughout the years before I retired. I will always love the SP sound!
One of the times I was in NYC I think it was maybe early 90's and I was walking across at a cross walk early one morning near times square and the light started flashing to not walk and a cop was coming and that is the sound he did at me trying to make me hurry across!It pissed me off LOL because I had a walk light first! But it sounded identical to those chirps at the begining of this video...and the times I have since been they no longer sound like this one..So i guess it was this one.
The manual yelp sounds like 'whamp whamp whamp waaauwauwauwauwauwauwauwauwau waamp waamp waaamp!!!' The air horn sounds like 'bruuuuuuuuuh, bruh bruh bruh bruuuuh bruuuuuuuuuuuhhh'
You can still spot these outside NYC, I've heard them a few times in NJ. No sense buying new stuff on township police budgets when these things still work fine.
I have a Yankee model 1282 and need a connector pin-out. It has two (2) connectors. A 12 pin and a 15 pin. I have the plugs and will make harnesses and post the siren once it is up and running. Can you supply the pin-outs?
Has there ever been any actual research on weather it's more effective to just let the automatic siren go continuously though its cylcle, or to keep pressing the manual siren? I would imagine that a continuous siren would be more effective, but some people claim that the manual siren is actually more of an attention getter. Just curious if there is any actual research behind this, or everyone just uses whatever siren sounds they personally prefer.

Those momentary yelps and the long beginning for the wail are so distinctively 80's and 90's NYPD. Makes me feel nostalgic.
Fuck yeah. If I can find this siren for my phone that would be great. The only siren I have is the IDF alarm
Remember hearing these still in '93/'94 the EMS used these still well into the mid 90's from what I remember.
I grew up listening to these sirens when they did their shift changeover. Was part of their patrol checks. I lived up the street from the 7th PCT
Worked NYC EMS in the late 80s and early 90s and that is the sound of the cavalry coming.

@bpdexplorer129nc They were installed in all NYPD RMP for many years.
*Ah music to my ears!*
0:16 is the best part! :)
I LOVE THIS SIREN
0:39 The air horn is an Aoogaah
Old dodge diplomats and Plymouth fury’s used to sound these off while splitting traffic on call

It does doesn't it? Reminds you of those old "Aoo-gaah!" horns : )
The manual yelp sounds like 'whamp whamp whamp waaauwauwauwauwauwauwauwauwau waamp waamp waaamp!!!'
The air horn sounds like 'bruuuuuuuuuh, bruh bruh bruh bruuuuh bruuuuuuuuuuuhhh'
Rumor has it that Detroit is just now getting these for their cruisers.
The Smart Sirens they have now have momentary yelp and wail, but I think the SP yelps sound a lot better. I'm not sure about other brands, though.
Why are they out of business that had such great sirens!!

Alex Nelson id love to own another!
Steal one for me please
Well yes, but be carfull my FDs old pa200 broke in mid-response
The wail and yelp sound almost just like the Federal signal PA-500M-CHP2 siren
the sound of my youth

I agree with MetalSanke.
The air horn is very cool
*Wanted level: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟*
Did you do that by memory from Roblox that took place in New York City with the NYPD and FBI having this siren
despite of the tones, i think its such a pity they are no longer in business.
The first few seconds, I imagined Michael Winslow.
@bpdexplorer129nc
I think it would be best suited for warning ships on a foggy night...
In Belgium they still use this system.
the airhorn sounds like the horn in basketball games !
@SP99 Do you by any chance know what NYPD/FDNY used from the '90s on until the new Smart Sirens?
@SP99 That was an air horn? It sounded like some soundtrack you would play if somebody got pranked.
sounds well like the Whelen CHP siren
Did the nypd used that or only ESU and CTB, or i mostly heard the SP MK7. If yes on what cars (of different units) are this MK 10 used?
