With these being the same alarms used in the WTC on 9/11, at 3:54 imagine yourself going down the staircase in the Twin Towers like this with that exact alarm sounding. The closest any of us will get to hearing or seeing what it was like inside them.
WTC3 used this too, which opened the year "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" was filmed and used this same tone for the Enterprise refit red alert klaxon (1981).
This was the very same alarm system used in the world trade center towers. The fact that some people heard this (if they even heard it) for the last time in their lifes makes it even more haunting. God rest their souls
My dad has this at his skyscraper except there’s no voice evac and it’s a drill tone. It scared the shit outta me (almost literally) I was looking out the window (office was on the 25 floor and it was neat to see Winnipeg from above). It sounded like a ill ambulance and my dad forgot to tell me that it was a testing and I freaked out thinking of 9/11
This same alarm was used in buildings 4,5, and 6 at the World Trade Center on September 11. Building 1 and 2 had malfunctioned and building 3 had no alarm that we know of, maybe someone more familiar might know what system was used, building 7 had a completely different alarm and is rather unique, you can hear the alarm in the documentary “the 102 minutes that changed America”
We don't know what systems 4 WTC, 5 WTC, & 6 WTC had, as far as we know however the systems in both 1 WTC & 2 WTC activated correctly as they should, though more than likely building staff kept silencing the system since it'd be unnecessary to have it going off when the emergency's obvious. 3 WTC we don't know in terms of what system it had or if it even had a system. 7 WTC had a unique panel called the "Firecom 8500", with equally unique tones. None of these systems played a message as far as we know, only tones.
@@TheCarson116 3 WTC’s alarm has been found: th-cam.com/video/mo3rrUuka9E/w-d-xo.html Also, 4 and 5 used a Cerberus Pyrotronics system like the towers did.
Couple things: Only the whoop was used on the Twin Towers' systems, not the message. The reason the message sounds so "jagged" sometimes is because it's made from individual sound files played one after the other, rather than one long message file like with most other brands.
4, 5, and 6 were part of the networked Pyrotronics system. The whoop can be heard in a couple recordings, such as the Orio Palmer radio recording and a couple videos of the lobby. There was no message because that wouldn't make sense when the building has a constantly staffed security/fire safety team to use the mic. You can read everything that's known about the WTC fire alarm systems here by searching "nist world trade center fire alarm systems". There are also separate reports on the sprinkler systems and on the suppression systems. (comment with links was being deleted then subsequent replies to the other thread were too)
+NJMoo3652 Yeah for some reason CP voice evacuation systems always have the voice that talks like that I saw one on here where it said "While....this....is.....currently......being.......investigated" and same ending as this.
Pete S The automated floor-by-floor announcements were inconsistent because the software was damaged by the impact of the plane. The announcements ranged from "All personnel remain at your desks" to "We've had a large explosion in the building." On some floors, the announcements didn't go off at all due to the damaged software. In fact, on some floors the fire alarm didn't go off at all either.
Interesting this one has an all male voice others have a Female voice say “may I have your attention please” and the male voice comes back saying “A fire emergency has been reported in the building.”
or have I ? hmmn yep that was Siemens version aka Cerberus Pyrotronics and fucking hell man I can't believe you have the balls to use the elevators but seriously do not use the elevators if the emergency safety is investigated and reported and confirmed though how ever this was just some test of the alarms right?
Def a custom horn sound because the normal wheelock alarm doesn’t sound like that- is it because of the pyrotronics fire alarm box set up that make it’s sound that way (like the one in the towers)?
because this device is a speaker-strobe, not a horn-strobe, the alarm cannot produce sound on its own; it requires the panel to produce the sound and transmit it over the fire alarm wires to the speaker.

Reminds me of the world trade center fire alarms before 9/11
kiyon555kjm sonic555kjm both of the twin towers had Cerberus Pyrotronics MXL voice evac systems in them. They were set on this message as well.

These were in the trade center
They used the same exact fire system for the twin towers which makes this 100x more eerie....
That's the same alarm used in the 6 out of 7 buildings of the old wtc plaza 😬
Just the whoop, not the message. Also the only buildings that we know for sure had MXL-Vs were the Twin Towers themselves.
actually 5 out of 7
the hotel used an est panel
7 used a firecom 8500
the reset used mxl
