Congrats, you caught a wheelen with a failing tone generator on its way out. Tone cards use Oscillator circuits to create the tones. Thats what it sounds like when such a circuit fails. Loud hissing, sounds like the amplifiers are still functional.
The stuff in the start unironically reminded me of catching data streams on weird frequencies of radio, or the sound my speakers make sometimes when picking up wifi data exchange between my devices and the router I wonder if there was anything incidentally being picked up, what are the operational this and thats of such a board?
*_Probably one of the worst failures I've ever heard from an electric outdoor siren. Probably dead batteries, dead sound card, or damaged speaker drivers._*
Similar to my old black and white tube TV that wouldn't tune crap even when wired directly with coax, so I bludgeoned it with a baseball bat and it made the same static/hissing noise cut out sound (the tube screen shattered at the same time).
I believe it would be a controller issue. I really don't think this would be a driver issue because instead of crippling and corrupted sound, it would pop, or cut off at times. I know this because there was a Whelen with bad drivers where I had lived before. This sounds like a bad sound card.
Dang, I came here to hear the malfunctioning siren, but the drone shot at the end was great! I'm bad at birds, was that little guy around 2:01 trying to get your drone for dinner? 🤣
Probably the wrong synth card that is not supported for a siren like this or either the synth card is corroded. EDIT: it could be the batteries giving issues like how DJ226 said so yeah
Seems like the Siratone cabinet started to die or the sound samples got corrupted or even possibly driver failure? I also believe this could be caused by dying battery's slowly starting to under-volt the siren leading to its failure as it seems to stop before the other sirens do.
The siren might have not been programmed or designed to react to the voltage being lower than it's minimum stable operating voltage, if it was it would have just shut it self off instantly or protection would have kicked in and cut off power. So it basically just keeps going causing it start being no longer able to run everything in stable manner until eventually It doesn't even have enough power to do anything and then just crashes and finally shuts off like it should have done in the first place but the question is how do you know if it's actually dying batteries and not a failing component causing the voltage to drop before eventually blowing a fuse or something? (Yes, I know your comment was from a year ago but I just wanted say something when I saw your comment)
Nice video! Sounds like it needs a new controller haha. Sounds like the controller died mid-test...at least they do tests so it doesn’t malfunction in an actual emergency...
this sounds like when you import raw data into audacity
Or play a game cassette in a cassette player.
Hearing that sound in the middle of the night would be a very very effective laxative.
Nah it would give me fucking nightmares
LMAOOO
the sane can be said for a morter shell hitting not 20ft from the outhose you are in.
Guaranteed. :D
Witch one
That perfectly simulates what happens during a tornado warning. First you hear a normal siren, then it's wooshing and crashing noises at the end.
_Yep._
Exactly!
TommyBNSF yes
And it sound like one the is from #roblox but horribly
LOL
Siren fail, video win. I was impressed with how stable that drone stayed during the test, I didn't realize it was a drone at first.
Thats just DJI for ya
Congrats, you caught a wheelen with a failing tone generator on its way out. Tone cards use Oscillator circuits to create the tones. Thats what it sounds like when such a circuit fails. Loud hissing, sounds like the amplifiers are still functional.
Yep. Correct. The tone generator is dead. Bad batteries would sound like a kid yelling into a microphone

In my years on watching Tornado sirens. Whelens are bad sirens but this one is on a whole new level
*_Probably one of the worst failures I've ever heard from an electric outdoor siren. Probably dead batteries, dead sound card, or damaged speaker drivers._*
No such things as sound cards but the drivers sound bad, probably because battery.
Waterdamage
It sounds like either the amplifier is going or the speakers have gotten damaged. There is no sound card in tornado sirens because it's not a PC.
@@MaxtheSirenHunter i'm sorry what
why do you write like a retard?
I think the batteries have about had it. The controllers made prior to the ESC-864 apparently lacked the low voltage cutoff that the later ones had.
Yeah your right. But I've never seen a battery problem this bad
or the speakers blown
@@numberone7674 no if the speakers were blown they would even make any sound
Ay waddup dj I'm a big fan
Exactly, the D836 (ESC-3000) panelsl had no battery failure prevention sort of thing
Me: Mom I want a siren
Mom: Honey we have sirens at home
Sirens at home:
0:21 siren.exe has stopped working, would you like to reboot
Lol
Yes.
Lol
Siren.Mp4.exe has stopped responding
Report problem to windows
Wait for page to respond
Report to windows XD
When I listened to it full volume with headphones I thought I could slightly hear a voice trying to come through the siren
If you listen closely, yes
Long cables leading up to the speakers can act as a weak radio antenna, might have been very faintly picking up the local radio station
listening to a siren video at full volume with headphones on is crazy
sounded like “help me”
kinda
These sirens were discontinued... now they're disappearing as they wear out. This one sounds like it's about to go too.
Never seen a whelen do THAT before! Also the drone almost hit a bird at the end lol.
Luckily for them the drone has obstacle avoidance. Notice how it slowed down for a brief second
YOWZERS! Sounds like my old tv after the cable blew out...
Similar to my old black and white tube TV that wouldn't tune crap even when wired directly with coax, so I bludgeoned it with a baseball bat and it made the same static/hissing noise cut out sound (the tube screen shattered at the same time).
I swear I can hear a demon or a trapped soul roaring and shouting words like it's trying to escape or warn you about something awful! Poor siren! 🤯🔊
cringe. The drivers are simply toast.
Wtf !that escalated quickly
The official siren of emotional manipulation. “I’ll get better, I swear!” But it never does.
🤣🤣🤣
🖕
I think the sound of this siren is just a radio broadcast that got interfered. Some sirens in Europe also operate via life radio feed.
Good lord, I cant even tell if that's a controller issue or an issue with the drivers themselves, jeez
I believe it would be a controller issue. I really don't think this would be a driver issue because instead of crippling and corrupted sound, it would pop, or cut off at times. I know this because there was a Whelen with bad drivers where I had lived before. This sounds like a bad sound card.
Federal signal 420 drivers are what make the sound in the siren.
Battery problem?
Federal signal 420 if it has a chopper, no, it will not have drivers inside them, due to this siren having speakers, it has drivers.
It’ll definitely be a bad sound card or if not could be the lead acid batteries just about had it.
Correct me if I’m wrong
0:31 wait, is that a radio thing?
OH MY GOD!
ITS PICKING UP THE RADIO SIGNALS!
Also the thing wrong with it is most chance the drivers
@Joshua Jackson dead tone generator
dead batteries and slightly ancient controls.
It’s like someone accidentally connected it to a modem.
0:50 sounds like a jet engine.
Wow! It Actually Does!
Yup it does
An F-22 raptor
Whelen 2016 you are cleared for take off XD
mcdonalds workers when karen asks for the manager:
The siren decided it wanted a career change and switched to being an airplane instead.
At 0:53 it sounded like a jet taking off.
Its static from the short circuit
@@Familyfreindly-i5p 4 years ago,
6 days ago
_Whelen-2016 is requesting to takeoff at runway 25 Left. Do you accept?_
Gonna go off on a limb and say that the controller has kicked the bucket
That Whelen sounds like it needs to be replaced or repaired.
Needs to replaced because is sucks
Yea maybe a mod
@@CazicTheProtogen It's an easy battery fix.
Most likely replaced as this model was apparently discontinued a long time, likely another newer Whelen.
Probably a 4004 or a Vortex.
Oh! There's the spectralert adva- I mean xanax whelen
Tigers9596 LMAO
LMAO
lmfao
i wouldnt even confused this even a spectralert sounds prettier than that
@@gian3248 agreed
I bet the people around it just loved the sound of that!!
I like how the drone awkwardly leaves after the test
Battery issue? Honestly beyond me lmao.
When Siren Head has reached the end of his life cycle.
Yup lol
SHUT UP
It sounds like what the guys who make EAS mocks do just to emphasize that the weather station you're listening to is about to get erased off the map.
this is exactly how my brain sounded during every ap test last year in apwh
Dang, I came here to hear the malfunctioning siren, but the drone shot at the end was great! I'm bad at birds, was that little guy around 2:01 trying to get your drone for dinner? 🤣
This took siren head to a whole new level.
Please wait while your siren system connects to dial up Internet
That's Old 24in the background. As it pans around to the right, the big white building is BF Goodrich.
that first klaxon
' well... we tried to warn you '
Wow! That was... interesting lol
This definitely wasn’t supposed to happen, hopefully it gets replaced soon
I'm pretty sure a 2001-130 stands there now.
CEC Fan2 that’s good
CEC Fan2 whelen sucks anyway
@@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens yeah I guess ASC/ACA and FS will always be better.
Sounds like the whelen control area got hit by a tornado when they were testing the siren

Why does my tv have a microphone attached to it? It's only static
0:43 it sounds like it says "this"
also, make no mistake, someone out there thought this was an alien calling.
i think its trying to do voice
Batteries going to crap? I'm lost for ideas...
No. Dead tone generator
What if it had interference issues and the drone was causing that to do that type of sound?
They gotta replace it now.
I feel like this is the auditory representation of losing your internet connection.
They should fix that💀
Siren.Han has stopped working, would you like to reboot?😊

0:44 constantly lagging. ..plane noises..
That sounds like something that would come out of a distortion meme! Wacko!
The siren is trying to BE the tornado😂
0:19 All aboard the nope train to Siren what drugs are you doing street
This siren sounds like if it was mimicking the Air Horn tone that other Whelens have
If I heard a tornado siren do THAT, I'd be in the basement faster than the speed of sound lol 😭
Damn batteries. Shouldn't have taken that long for the low voltage shutoff to kick in

How it feels like to leave school at a tornado:
The sirens sounding during a tornado: weow
This siren: static
I like how that bird tried to attack the drone
AH 😂 lol
This simulates a Roblox siren when your on bad internet and it’s supper laggy
So it starts alright and then halfway in the siren starts doing its take on asmr.
Poor thing dude. Did you report it to the operators?
Definitely needs new brushes
🤣🤣
Nice meme
😂
Either the controller is sparking, or the batteries are being faulty
This is what happens when a kid buys a $2.30 speaker and puts it on the siren.
my little bro accidentally turning on the garbage disposal instead of the lamp: 0:57
This is why mechanical sirens > electric sirens
No u cant say anything in mechanichal sirens and u cant warm people of this is a test
Sounds like either bad reseption or dying speakers
Dead tone generator

Theres probably a cell tower there. Probably disrupting the siren

Siren has laryngitis. Perfect for deep fried audio and earrape meme compilations.
Who replaced the siren controller with a cicada???
Sounds like one of those old raygun toys.
Sep that what’s happens to a big stack of speakers.
Batteries???
Don’t do drugs kids or you’ll end up like this siren
I cant tell if it’s a battery issue or a speaker driver issue?

this whelen : drop of water nope
the tx thunderbolt 1003 that fell: i fell and no blower eh?... whatever ill still go off
The first glitch surprised me
Imagine waking up to that at night
i have an opinion about tornato sirens but i dont even know what it is
