Idk if anyone else has it the same way, but the air raid sirens that were set up in my area during the Cold War are still working and used today. The fire departments use them to to signal that there’s a general emergency like a fire, a car accident, or even an EMS call. Some departments have even taken the expense to update the sirens. I’ve been told that if I hear it turn on and play for 3 minutes, it’s time to start preparing for the end
i live near a big town in france and they have a old siren from WWII that they still use, i even recorded it. the video can be found here : th-cam.com/video/XBOx2dlTl-s/w-d-xo.html additional info : it is a old demay siren from the late 1930s or early 1940s
The sound of this used to terrorize me as a little boy. They used to test these things back when I was in kindergarten and first grade and all that. The teacher would teach us “duck and cover” and make us get under our desks where we had to stay until she said we could come out. The sirens were so loud and scary. I used to cry my eyes out and wanted my mom, but of course she wasn’t there because I was at school. Even today, the sound of that siren makes my stomach get tight. That sound never means anything good. It always means you’re in danger and better hide inside somewhere. I’ll bet my entire generation has PTSD about these damned things. Good video, though. Thanks for sharing.
@GuckFoogle Have you ever been in real danger? Or served in the military? I have. Stop pretending to know anything about anyone. You don’t even know yourself. The fact that you don’t understand how a childhood experience could scare a 4 year old shows that you’re either very young or very stupid. The only clown anyone sees around here is you.
Step 1: Hook up an air raid siren to your vehicle. Step 2: Go to a protest. Step 3: Wait for crowd of people to form around your vehicle. Step 4: Turn that siren on and watch people panic. Step 5: profit???
@@saikothesergal Its throttling, ramping the fan down when it gets down to like 80 degrees, and then it just shoots back up to like 90 and ramps up again.
I'm old enough to remember when my city tested these every Friday at noon. It was during the cold war when we all thought the Soviet Union was going to nuke us, and they had to make sure these "air raid" horns were in working order. I always wondered what they looked like.
My hometown in Georgia USA tests the sirens every Saturday at noon but they replaced the sirens a little over a decade ago with electric ones which is just glorified speakers.
@@luca_4342 Not even yelling the autistic noises in the background. You got the kids having a family dinner in the background, the ones who have a cheap pair of headphones that blast static through the mic and the ones with some bloody highway work or something happening out there window
To this day we have one of these here in Opunake, New Zealand. It is tested at 12 midday EVERY day of the year and people stop work for lunch when it goes up. Primarily it is still used for Fire and Ambulance callouts..as these are volunteer services and not everyone walks around with their pager on it remains a useful backup. Dad was ex RNZN and RN WW2 and also ex-Army Korean War. He did not enjoy hearing the siren go up every day as he had been in London and other parts of the UK when air raids were on ...some bad memories of things he wouldn't even talk about. I believe there are quite a few of these still in service around NZ. Best wishes. Dave.
Yes still used in havelock north for the volunteer fire brigade in Hawkes bay, grew up as a kid hearing this every second week knowing what it meant with English parents and my grandparents who lived through the blitz
I think of the worst aspect of this sound is the wind down. People always talk in comments about how the sound of an air raid siren can invoke feelings of fear even in people who have never experienced them for real, simply because we know the association of what the sound means. But for me, that wind down, the slowly fading away sound, is the most powerful part of it. Because I imagine the families in the war slowly starting to emerge from their bunkers, unsure of what the damage was and what pieces have been left for them to pick up.
It’s generally means “get indoors and take cover”. It’s used for nuclear attack, air attacks like bombs or missiles, tsunamis, and tornadoes. Just FYI so if you ever hear one in real life, it may not be a nuke, but it may not be a joke either. It could mean you’re area is about to get smacked to hell by a force of nature. But, yeah, if Biden and NATO keep pissing off Putin, we may be hearing this for real.
When you're looking at the device in the daytime it takes the fear away. Let it be misty, rainy, nighttime, dark haze or a combination and the siren in the distance: That is fear.
My fricking god I heard this siren blaring at 4:30 AM in the morning today. I was terrified so i woke up my mother, and then my father. Just as my father was getting out of bed the siren stopped blaring. False alarm. It was just the soldiers of the nearby Army Camp doing something. Sh*t nearly gave me a cardiac arrest
You know, you can only like it when there is no real threat. I have been living in a frontline city for more than a year, where sirens howl from 3 to 15 times a day. It's horrible.
I don't want a full sized, but I wish they could make a scale model (assuming that the smaller it gets, the quieter it is too.) I would want TONS of those.
They make smaller ones for around $150 but the problem is the sound they produce is not as consistent and fades much more quickly. They generally give out about 145db of noise which is just a little less than double a normal speaking voice.
I’m a sophomore in college and I’m living in Georgia as of now. Came from Montana, so hurricanes are unheard of for me but as Hurricane Helene tears through the southeast, it produced some tornadoes in my area earlier. I’ve heard the air raid sirens in person before, but it was only for tests. Tonight was the first time I heard it used for its intended purpose, and that alone was so bone chilling I nearly got frozen with fear as I gathered things and prepared to evacuate my dorm to go to lower ground. Definitely a core memory for me.
Imagine living in the 1960's rural America making breakfast and hearing this, then getting the golf game on the TV interrupted by the International warning program.

My local town in the UK had one of these up a small tower at the police station back in the 80's. It served only one purpose if it went off - Nuclear war. Before it was dismantled they ran it once and it sort of instinctively induces utter fear and doom when unaware.

Come on, guys, you can't be serious. A world war because if Iran? Don't overestimate this conflict, it's just a cryout of the USA for more oil, because Russia is now again the largest oil exporter on Earth, like in the Stalin-era.
i lived by an army base where once a week they would test the air raid siren. yeah it is loud and they still do tests so they have people who can operate them when needed.
that because loud noises like that does strike terror infact it's probably your genetics saying fuck i need to run that's a big pack or an angry alpha...i know this because i've scared many to death with only raising my voic3...it's the first sign i'm turning on you.
mmhp, an old pickup with bulletproof glasses, this alarm on the roof, an old fashionating ww2 american submachine gun on the back, red paint and five (one for reserve) of these wheels with the white stripe at the side, the gas tank full and this war machine is ready to a war, and trust me, here in italy shits like isis & co. can attack us when they want, so one of these homemade tanks can be usefull in chase of an attack
Imagine hearing this at 4:30 AM in the morning. I just did today. It was still dark, which is the perfect timing to take a city by surprise for a bomb drop. Woke up my mother, then my father, and as my father was rushing outside to take a look the siren stopped. False alarm. It was the soldiers at the nearby army camp doing some sort of "drill", as I found out. You can probably imagine the number of emotions I went through in just under a minute.
One day while me and my family were driving home from church and decided to stop at a Dunkin Donuts when I heard this sound. My family wasn't startled by it because, and I quote, "we don't know why it's going off". On the other hand my soul left my body in sheer terror for at least a minute until I realized it went off because a fire was happening somewhere else because a fire truck sped by where we were. Seriously what kind of town or city uses the air raid siren to announce that there is a fire?! Sure a fire going off is serious but not air raid siren serious!
Honestly, I actually think these kinds of sirens are super cool. It's not the kind of way you conventionally expect a sound like this to be made, nowadays. But it's really simple, really reliable, and incredibly easy to maintain (at worst you'll need to replace the motor). And I'm pretty used to hearing this kind of siren on the regular (though usually not as loud); fire stations in my area fire them up when they receive a call. Though, I've heard a lot of stations switch to electronic sirens, which just don't sound as good. :
Growing up in Minnesota in the 60’s our 100 year old elementary school had an air raid siren on the roof. Every so often they’d test it and we’d all file down to the basement and sit facing the stone wall taylor style with head down with hands clasped over our neck. This was going to save us from a nuclear blast somehow. In the summer it would go off whenever there was a tornado warning. We’d run outside and grab the bikes, lawn chairs, Tonka trucks, clean laundry off the clothes line and take everything inside then huddle down in the dank unfinished cinder block basement until the siren stopped and it was all clear. That sound is so eerie.
Giggal Germany is perfectly prepared for a case of war since it was drilled for the emergency since it wouldve probably been the center of war if the cold war became an actual war. The security standards were kept although the cold war is over. That's why we also still have signs infront if every bridge that show how heavy a tank is allowed to be to cross that bridge.

My local town in the UK had one of these up a small tower at the police station back in the 80's. It served only one purpose if it went off - Nuclear war. Before it was dismantled they ran it once and it sort of instinctively induces utter fear and doom when unaware.

TH-cam recommends this out of nowhere.
I'm not even mad.
not even m.a.d.
I love this recomentation
tbh I always thought that the sound was made by a speaker not a motor
it is made by a fan spinning insanely fast the motor just spins the fan
The fan spins at a very high rpm and forces the air out at a few thousand km/s. 130db from 100ft away
@@defaultyotis_x7528 I'm pretty sure it's not up at the 1000km/s mark, maybe a few hundred m/s or so at maximum

God damn that sound is chilling... and I didn't even grow up in the cold war era
i lived by an army base where once a week they would test the air raid siren. yeah it is loud and they still do tests so they have people who can operate them when needed.
We still use these guys no matter the cold war has finished. They serve as flood warnings
that because loud noises like that does strike terror infact it's probably your genetics saying fuck i need to run that's a big pack or an angry alpha...i know this because i've scared many to death with only raising my voic3...it's the first sign i'm turning on you.

Ye
who is here during ww3
🙋♂
Getting closer!
one day i will buy one of these and i will put her on the roof of my '54 chevrolet pickup... but first of all i will buy a '54 chevrolet pickup
mmhp, an old pickup with bulletproof glasses, this alarm on the roof, an old fashionating ww2 american submachine gun on the back, red paint and five (one for reserve) of these wheels with the white stripe at the side, the gas tank full and this war machine is ready to a war, and trust me, here in italy shits like isis & co. can attack us when they want, so one of these homemade tanks can be usefull in chase of an attack
They're called Whitewall tires btw, but pickups aren't bulletproof, try filling the door panels and fenders with concrete
I think something like that might be too heavy to put on the roof of a truck.
I have BMW,why do you need Chevrolet?

The most terrifying sound a human can hear. It means the end of all you have ever known untill that point. I hope to never hear that IRL.
its being used in my country for curfew announcement due to covid haha
Imagine hearing this at 4:30 AM in the morning.
I just did today. It was still dark, which is the perfect timing to take a city by surprise for a bomb drop.
Woke up my mother, then my father, and as my father was rushing outside to take a look the siren stopped. False alarm. It was the soldiers at the nearby army camp doing some sort of "drill", as I found out.
You can probably imagine the number of emotions I went through in just under a minute.
@@nebroskitheraut6705 My stomach turned just reading that. I can readily imagine what you went through.
That's horrible. :(
One day while me and my family were driving home from church and decided to stop at a Dunkin Donuts when I heard this sound. My family wasn't startled by it because, and I quote, "we don't know why it's going off". On the other hand my soul left my body in sheer terror for at least a minute until I realized it went off because a fire was happening somewhere else because a fire truck sped by where we were. Seriously what kind of town or city uses the air raid siren to announce that there is a fire?! Sure a fire going off is serious but not air raid siren serious!
1. Hear siren
2. Sky turns dark, ash starts falling from the sky and a thick fog shows up.

That's what I think too! Silent Hill is great.
Me: playing sound near to my grandfather
Grandfather: starts wearing equipments
Honestly, I actually think these kinds of sirens are super cool. It's not the kind of way you conventionally expect a sound like this to be made, nowadays. But it's really simple, really reliable, and incredibly easy to maintain (at worst you'll need to replace the motor). And I'm pretty used to hearing this kind of siren on the regular (though usually not as loud); fire stations in my area fire them up when they receive a call. Though, I've heard a lot of stations switch to electronic sirens, which just don't sound as good. :

Growing up in Minnesota in the 60’s our 100 year old elementary school had an air raid siren on the roof. Every so often they’d test it and we’d all file down to the basement and sit facing the stone wall taylor style with head down with hands clasped over our neck. This was going to save us from a nuclear blast somehow. In the summer it would go off whenever there was a tornado warning. We’d run outside and grab the bikes, lawn chairs, Tonka trucks, clean laundry off the clothes line and take everything inside then huddle down in the dank unfinished cinder block basement until the siren stopped and it was all clear. That sound is so eerie.

Shit is real if you hear one of this!
LEGEND 25 but were hearing it...
Giggal the sirens were originally for fires but are outdated by now, they are tested anyways regularly for a case of war or a catastrophe.
Giggal they are in every town in Germany by the way
Giggal Germany is perfectly prepared for a case of war since it was drilled for the emergency since it wouldve probably been the center of war if the cold war became an actual war. The security standards were kept although the cold war is over. That's why we also still have signs infront if every bridge that show how heavy a tank is allowed to be to cross that bridge.
Its not that loud in real life, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/2ABVD50RmY4/w-d-xo.html
