Hey y'all, you may have noticed at least one clip is now missing. This is due to content reuse disagreements. I have the timestamp(s) and source video link(s) listed below: 0:08 - th-cam.com/video/TnQG0mgoops/w-d-xo.html (the guy wanted $500 for content reuse)
I think it has to do with that the sound is regulated and has to be regular and recognisable any time. A MP3 or WAV file has quality losses due to compression.
I don’t know why, but I had this crazy thought about this 0:58 kind of Tornado Siren, about how they look like giant mint flavored Mentos stuck on top of each other and on top of a long wooden pole, and ever since then, I haven’t been able to look at them without thinking about that.
It's all about timing. These controllers don't match the hi-lo timing with the wail timing so it can't complete a full cycle of hi lo before the wind down starts and it has to start a new cycle before finishing the previous one. This can results in blips and voice cracks depending on the timing, or sometimes just cause lag when the same tone plays twice in a row. The stumble seems to be an attempt to remedy this issue, and I think that last mod just has a mind of its own.
I was NOT aware that this was a normal operating mode for emergency sirens. I'd only ever seen that one really famous clip of the one in (I think) Chicago. Learn something new every day!
Funny enough, if you have even read any sirenhead lore, they rarely make any siren noises. They usually opt to mimic human speech and cries to lure people to it. I don't know about the kids in the comments, but everyone I know (including myself) will actively try to go the opposite direction of a wailing siren. Which is the opposite of what sirenhead wants
Fun fact: In other countries such as here in New Zealand, we don't have this siren. We use the classic "low to high to low" wail that goes like wooooooOOOOO00000000000OOOOoooooooooooooo but nothing like this. That being said, this means that people like me only associate this sound with siren head and not an actual emergency siren.
#1 they are extremely loud (even blasting this video with max volume doesn't even scratch the surface) #2 They are designed to warn people of extreme threats (tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, nukes, ect) #3 them glitching and failing falls straight into the uncanny valley (please google it! It's actually a really interesting phenomenon) #4 The alternating wail, even without bugs, falls into said valley
I feel like if you consider a alternating wail 2 tones that alternate, I would say 1:44 sounds like tone 1 (the higher one) gets played twice, I would probably call it reversed cause after that point it kind of changes the pattern of alternation, but that's just me.
I get uneasy when I hear or see sirens after seeing siren head in my hallucinations from recovering from a blow to the head. If I heard this irl I would fuckin cry man
Someone else left a comment that said timing mismatch was the cause of these glitches. I agree with them. Fundamentally, Alternate Wail is just the dual tone wail signal but with the high and low frequencies alternating at a predefined interval. The mismatch occurs when the wail cycle duration and alternating interval don't divide evenly. For example, let's say the wail cycle lasts 9 seconds and the alternating interval is 0.63 seconds. 9 divided by 0.63 is 14.28571429, which is clearly not a whole number. Another factor is that the signals are generated in real time based on a predefined set of parameters. CPU lag affects all digital electronic siren controllers to varying degrees, so no wail cycle or alternating interval is exactly identical. This further compounds the timing mismatch issues.
@@FemboyEngineer I am not certain. I do not work for Federal Signal nor do I have insider knowledge. I came to that conclusion judging by the sound alone. What I do know for certain is that all the digital electronic siren controllers made by Federal Signal have a firmware bug that causes the high and low tones to go out of sync as the frequency lowers. However, I don't think this contributes to the various glitches plaguing the Alternate Wail signal.
it was originally meant for fire related emergencies. the only known EOWS's to do alternate wail are: EOWS 612 (Forest Hills Pensylvania) (SiraTone) EOWS 115 (Fourche South Dakota) (SiraTone) EOWS 612 (Goddard Enterprises, in this video) (UV) EOWS 1212 (New Glarus Wisconsin) (UV)

This implies the lagging behavior could also be caused by the hi-lo ending earlier than the wind-down, no?
1:46 wants to be a firetruck siren

You can say that about Alt Wail in general
Damn even sirens be having voice cracks 💀

1:45 you too
There was one in Manasquan where it wound up slower than it usually did and would then restart mid-windup.
I feel like someone definitely remixed these, i can imagine it already

stutter wail

its almost like a wheeze

Welcome to the siren community we hope you enjoy your stay
you're here for the same reason i am: TH-cam wanted us here

THAT’S A HI LO
Fun fact in Chicago they dont use the alt wail for their modulators anymore
ok, but why do these people have sirens IN THEIR HOME????????????? its loud as hell in such a confined space!
the blip that popped up killed me also i like the stumble one
the stumble actually sounds cool
0:39 i loved this
i didnt know siren head is so glitchy
I don't think he has his sirens programmed to do only alternate wail
When it's your first day on the job
why is it funny its not SUPOSED TO BE
all of them sound like alien invading motherships

ill call the the last one "The accidental reversal"
I love the stumble and lag ones
They are all modulator siren and only one eows 612
1:49 is reverse because it reversed back to the other sound
The 4th is a glitch alternate wail, it mixes up wail and alternate wail then goes what just happened, I just call it altwailte wail
Is the siren for the second blip one coming from the boxes or is the uren somehwre else?
That last one was like a Crack in a cd or record then just *dead*
