Originally Recorded 6/29/2018
I was finally able to record this unique, Custer Siren. It's been on my "siren bucket list" for awhile. These were installed several years after the ones in Rushville, but the installation and programming are slightly different. This one sounds 'alert', and for an excruciatingly long time. The controller comes from some kind of vehicular siren. I'm not sure the exact model, but any suggestions would help.
I didn't have faith that this would actually work, but once Noon hit, this siren squealed to life. It's not crazy loud, but it made me jump. The windup sounds so much like a police siren, and a couple cars actually did pull over. Confused, they looked around trying to find the source then cautiously proceeded through the highway. A few minutes passed, and the siren was still running. I noticed that here was a key switch at the bottom that could be used to shut the siren down. I was starting to think that maybe someone has to manually shut it off each time. Thankfully, it shutoff on its own.
Like Rushville's Custers, it's not really a bad siren considering the low cost and maintenance. I think having it run hi-lo would be more effective and adjusting the timer to automatically shut off after three minutes could be tweaks they could add later. It's not bad aside from those few quirks. Anyways, let me know what you think.
Enjoy, and as always comment, like, and subscribe for more. Thanks!

Awesome! Glad you nabbed a recording of it. When we tried it was switched off for the winter.
They should keep that annoying thing completely disconnected from the power in my opinion lol
Great video. I'm glad this has been recorded. This is the tone that was on all of his sirens. He explained that he changed them to Hi-Lo and is now using that tone on new installs for the exact reason you described- sounds like a vehicle siren.
Wow that’s crazy. Glad another one of these was recorded.
It should be about two octaves lower.
Glad You Got A Recording Of One On Alert! Awesome Video!
I got one on attack
my ears are still ringing...
oh wait im wearing headphones.
No wonder they switched to hi-lo. This noise is confusing and quite easy for the brain to silence out since it sounds like ears ringing.
Nice! Who was the person talking at the end of this video?
What I heard: oh god it shut of finally
Well, reminds me of Nashville’s ATI’s, but higher pitched.
Im form Nashville, do they still use ATI's?
Greecher The Creature they haven’t since 2011. and good riddance!
@@pennsy77 If they had had a real tone with wind up and wind downs at 500hz, and had a slightly larger horn and driver, they would be a great siren, since they have such amazing voice clarity. It's a shame the way they used them.
@@greecherthecreature Indeed.
Is their Version of full alert like 6 minutes?
Damn thats high pitched!
Just when you think it can get any harder, here is a tornado siren that may seem pretty well noticed here, but on a buildings wall, you probably would have a hard time finding this. Basically saying, tornado sirens are for me sometimes very hard to tell apart from speakers. This may seem like no problem to people like DSRX, but to me, it’s hard.
Sounds like a police siren left on manual.
Yep, essentially that's what this is.
*smart siren intensifies*
Dsrx100, when are you going to do Kentucky and Indiana??
Another cluster electric siren? I'm not surprised.
I will admit, this thing's high pitch drove me nuts, but that aside, must I say what I said about the other Custer siren again?
I could never sit listen to that siren for 6 minutes 😤😠🙄
It's different than any of the other siren companies that are out and have sirens in cities in the United States alone.
Talking about tinnitus 😂
This thing could easily beat the old ATI alert tone
Kinda neat in a way. Would be easy to replicate for us siren nerds. 3 things that I question about the setup is the battery being out in the open, tbe sun would degrade that faster and bake it I would think. That and the direct cold on it could freeze it.
The second thing, if that is indeed a car siren they are normally only 100-200w. How it that powering all those speakers?
3rd, what are they using to trip it remotely if it is a car siren?
1. Apparently they haven't had any battery issues. They are charged via trickle chargers and the batteries are replaced every couple years.
2. This siren is 200 watts. They can be ordered in any wattage.
3. There is a radio that receives the same tones that activate the other sirens in the county.
My eyes for so watering that I was crying XD
Almost 7 minutes of a high pitched squeak N I C E !
Awesome video!
This is more annoying than the "ATI"
Call the cops someone
Pls
Now let's not get carried away here... We both know that's not true lmao
Ati’s lost brother
It looks like a Bosai Musin (Forgot the spelling but you may get the picture.
gotta love whoever thought it was a bright idea to just mount the battery in the open... great idea lmao.
Great video! Sounds like the tone had issues at one point.
Oh, god! It shut off Finally! Lol
It did a six minute Alert!
KidCrazer14 How dare it
Like the Custer Sirens that use high low tone this might be a code 3 v-con siren
Same thing I thought
Custer is ATI’s brother of making irritating noises against our world’s human ears!
The custer attack sounds like a toy fire truck
I wonder if it ever won a battle between a train horn....
sounds like an actual police siren on the startup
When the police car holds the manual button on their sirens
The fact i own one of these 😏 (i was the first one to record a model 70)
Can I get my ATTENTION. WHY DOSE LOOK LIKE A JAPAN SIREN
same design
When cities are to cheap to buy Real Tornado Sirens.
And they just make one
For The Loveable Neptune, The Siren Has Finally Shut Off. I'm Sorry DSRX100, But That Siren Is WAY Annoying Then ATI
The sirens went off twice today, don't know why, but it's weird, I have a feeling it's for Saturday's severe weather, I contacted the town of Marengo and they say they don't know why. So I'm guessing it's a fire call?
Was it just the T-128 that went off or did they both sound?
@@DSRX100 Both of them did
New Array or Old Array?
Cool video!
"That is the longest siren test I've ever done."
We'll wait until it gets an Ultravoice one more driver for every horn and dual driver sockets like the one on an EOWS-612.
Which it probably wont
Wow! These are they newer ones, correct? Also, does Akron Indiana have a pair of these? I thought I found a pair one time. Never understood how these would make good sirens.
He switched back to the Cobraflex arrays, they are higher quality and supposedly louder.
That’s a siren?
speaker
Your New Account Photo Is Cool!😎😎😎😎
Hello.
The budget siren
Can i use for Siren comp?
it's high piched
if i were to live there, i wouldn't even take shelter cause it would be to high pitched for me to think its a siren
Why does this one look so much different than the other one?
Updated model, but it's not their most recent design which looks better.
Ah, I see. By the way, your siren videos are awesome, by far the best recordings I’ve ever seen
That must be loud
This thing is ungodly high pitched jeez
Poor drivers YOU CAN SEE THEM! No cap or anything
OH GOD WHY
Batteries and drivers fully exposed to the elements... that thing’s not gonna last long.
What i cant hear you
Can you hear me now?
@@FireRescue80 nope
LOL
LIthunderbolt1003 I SAID STFU lol jk jk
! Warning Headphone Users! Its High pitched
ow
more of a custom electric. they need to take that thing down
No
@@ILandWISirensandEAS yes. they should take that down
Deez nutz
@@ILandWISirensandEAS sorry spc i was busy playing scp
That will be soo ear loudness to the people of Indiana
bruh this is worst than the already worst than ati , L-RAD
Sounds like it caught the ATI virus!
DJ Launchpad2: games Music and extras Well, not really. Modern ones dropped the 1000HZ option.
Lol I love the end conversations
First comment, that thing sounds like a police siren in alert
Oh it doesn't matter who's first, just enjoy the video people.
Faxy/Max's cool channel it pretty much is lol
Does it have "attack" (wail,) or not?
Annoying at. My cat doesn't mind sirens, but he hated this one. I don't blame him I hate it too.
I would like hi lo
Hi DSRX100
It’s so loud it kind of hurts
ATI/ASC E-Classes little sister
It Sounded like a Police Siren at First
The real sirens of siren head
true fact
No.
It looks like a siren from a japanese horror movie
See Tag trailer
*Custer shouldve made it have 560 hz*
That wouldn't be possible with how they are doing it. At basic, the radio is basically holding down the "siren" switch on the vehicular siren.
That's like a siren I would make lol
Wayyy too high pitched
Looks like a Bosai Musen ripoff.
This is more annoying than an ATI lol
Please put this poor siren out of its misery. It was never meant to be an outdoor warning siren. This is just embarrassing. I am now thankful my county went with 2001’s.
To be fair, you can get 5 of these for the price of one 2001
SirensOfCincinnati yeah but is that the cost per siren by he speaker, or the entire setup? Also this thing sounds like a police siren. It’s kind of dangerous when you think about it. Also, by the looks of this thing the coverage radius isn’t all that great. So more than likely you may end up saving money in the short term, but spending more money to cover the entire county in the long term.
the cost is for the complete siren, pole, radio, and installation. One of the benefits of using smaller sirens is that if lightning, high winds, or debris destroy a siren, there are still others making sound. If the town instead only had one big siren, if it is taken out then there is no warning being broadcasted.
SirensOfCincinnati yeah, but they should at least make them sound like warning sirens, and not police sirens. That’s very dangerous in my opinion, as you will see why if you read the description. When it went off people actually pulled over, and were confused. When they saw no emergency vehicles coming, they proceeded with caution. That’s what makes these kinds of setups have a design flaw in my opinion. Again, my opinion, don’t take it as fact. Except the part about the description, hat actually happened, but the design flaw part in my opinion.
The owner of the company actually installs all of his new sirens programmed to Hi-Lo. He agrees that this tone sounds too much like a police siren. Here is the tone he uses on new installs: th-cam.com/video/UkT1N5Z1_-8/w-d-xo.html
The NYPD company
it sounds like censor bleep
Sounds like an Ambulance siren
Looks like a rigged together siren
Stack of megaphones!
Aaa stop the noise from the siren
I don’t think it would warn me about severe weather but it would sure as hell make me dump the weed out of my car during wind up
that heart my ears lol
