- So originally, I was planning on filming the Niles 1003 in HD, but had my ride back out at the last second, later I found out that Bill (Amtrak3501) was at the 1003 and kind of upset I couldn't meet him. But anyway, here is a 4004 in Harwood Heights, IL. I have filmed this siren before but decided to redo it in HD. Enjoy!
0:30- “Attention... This is a test of the Norwood Park Fire Protection District’s Early Warning System for Norridge, Harwood Heights, and Norwood Park Township. This is ONLY a test.” For those who can’t make out the voice.
I can make out the voice because I saw another one of these sirens test saying the same thing doing thing
Reading and listening to that, it sounds like one of the sirens in the siren system of the wps-4004 receiving bad DTMF codes.
It is very hard to understand because Whelens voice messages are not clear to me and the echo makes it hard.

Boy, they don't cut corners on voice announcements, do they? Nice video!
Are you stupid?
BluntSucc420 SHUT UP

@@RedRoze24 You shut up, bitch. GTF off this video.
I’m reporting all of you for horasmint! 😡 but not the person who commented on.
Ahhh that's what it said. I was out side when they started voice and all I could make out was. a test I've never heard these sirens go off before until today
When the siren head is facing away from the camcorder the voice is really quiet, I was expecting it to be louder for some reason, probably because in so many other siren test videos I've seen there's little volume difference when the siren faces away from the camera compared to when it's pointing at the camera. Does the siren send a command back to the control station to tell the controller that it's finished playing the message or rotating?
Nice video! That's a good 4004. There are some sirens heard in the beginning prior to the voice activating. Also, it sounds like there is an ACA Allertor or a dual-toned penetrator sounding and winding down while the 4004 is sounding. Do you hear that too?
Can you put the minute around where you hear that?
You should begin to hear that around 6:25.
+John Porter That's the nearby Chicago 2001. It has dying batteries so it's low toned. It could also be Elmwood Parks Allertor, but I'm pretty sure it's the 2001.
i hear a 2T22 in the background.
ChicagoSirens; I wished also Harwood Heights IL puts Whelen 2910 sirens and do voices too.
Very nice recording! Like the scanner announcement as well!
Added to favorites.
Can we make a music video with these radio tones?
ChicagoSirens; Do harwood heights IL has a Whelen WPS-2910 the same voice or just all Whelen WPS-4004? Because I was thinking Harwood Heights has a Whelen 2910 but if not just whelen 4004
Yes, used to live in HH for a long time. another version of the same whelen is near the school called Union Ridge
+Chrome4fan4 Since you lived in Harwood Heights for a long time, do you remember any other sirens installed before these versions?
no, some are old air raid ones on firehouses. not activated though
+Chrome4fan4 But none in Harwood Heights right?
yeah, any other sirens that are not whelen are in niles, morton grove, and norridge, all have either a federal signal or an air raid
0:30 - Voice | 5:53 - Alert
I’ll be heading to Harwood Heights on October 4 for my birthday do they test in October like the rest of the state of Illinois on the first Tuesday ?
Whelen4004:*voices * rotates
Me:GO FOR YOUR HOUSE AND STOP,YOU ARE DRUNK
What camera did you used for this one?
Hey it's the guy who posted a video of one in the system that failed!
@@ajconlin8525 N-no it’s not!
@@chrome7fan sure and I'm not watching your video right now because I forgot how great it is
Are these automated or manually operated sirens? What I mean is are they turned on and automated for dialup, rotation and siren, or is there a crew operating each siren?
All outdoor warning siren systems in one system are typically activated from a central location, all at once. In systems I've seen, they're activated by a person, but a Whelen system like the one you see here, is sort of a combination of automatic and manual. In this case, a person designated to run the system pushes a button, called a "hot-key", on a console called an encoder. The encoder will automatically put out the DTMF command strings at the programmed time intervals and automatically reset the system and itself. So in short, in the case of this Whelen system, a person has to activate it but it does it's thing and resets itself.
@@publicweather9633 oh so it’s like a streamlined system operated by a single computer?
It depends what kind of siren it is
nice ambience before the test
Sounds like champion siren. also b&n mobil directo and aca p 15 used champion siren to
5:52 I really like that alert sound. 👍
It’s better than the other Whalen wps 4004
It’s the same alert sound maybe you were used to hearing the wail or hi lo
Real interesting. Also neet that it works on DTMF. So are these things hooked to a phone sistem of some sort? I've experienced DTMF because I have a device for the blind since I'm blind called a Voice Mate. The Voice mate uses it to call people for you. On the new cordless phones it doesn't work though. What's the SPL of this thing?
MrHamit64 *system. Also go to Whelens website for the info on this siren. Work on your grammar too. It needs work
@@PlatinumEagleStudios *Whelen's
@@PlatinumEagleStudios he is blind
@@J19_vlogger74he’s probably not
Think logically
Why would a blind person watch a TH-cam VIDEO when they can’t even see the video
@@mattmakesmachines You can still hear the sound.
What do the dial tones mean?
Dial tones control the siren. They tell it to rotate and do voice and or tones.
DTMF tones
That’s the same one that failed this one worked. But the other one on Chrome7fan failed and it keeps recoding
Thunderbolt at the beginning
cooldomino That's a 2T22
What Is It's Testing Time?
My cousin lives next to one of these 4004s in ozark mo, it could also be a vortex...
The vortex cant do voice 4004s can
Are you stupid? Sure sounds like it. You literally said "one of these 4004s" then after said "it could also be a Vortex". Use your head.
Where is this siren located at in Harwood?
What scanner do you have?
Bearcat BC75XLT
And I'm guessing this is the Fire frequency?
+IllinoisSirens Norwood Park Fire Dept. actually uses three different frequencies. One for voice, and one for tone. The other is for warnings.
Oh wow. That's a pretty unique setup. Where I live they do the whole thing on the Public works frequency. Bucom sets up their systems strangely.
also, why is the first chain not the standard 10 digit format?
6TH SECONDS TIME THAT WHLEN
Echo whelen voice announcement :3
I like this siren test it the best siren
This is a Whelen Vortex R4.
I don't think the Vortex has voice capabilities
@@spot7093yeah it only has tones
I hear a 3t22 wind up in the beginning
Chrome4fan Aren't you from that area? If so, you of all people should know Harwood Heights/Norridge is completely surrounded by other cities and municipalities. One of those cities surrounding HH has a Xt22, forgot though. Also, that SRN you're hearing is Chicago's, not Norridge.
2T22 is on Alert signal
0:31 this is a test....wait wait hold on someone calling on the other line oh hey grandma how you doing???
*hangs up and goes back to the sirens*
3:49 who and the hell is this calling me?? Oh that's uncle John
*picks up the phone* Uncle John: Nephew do you know who this is??? Nephew: i had too think for a minute and forgot you changed your number what's goin on man I ain't talk too you in a good minute 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At 0:24 you can barely hear the thunderbolt
It does look a lot like a Thunderbolt, except more rectangular in shape. Grew up with the Thunderbolts. Sounds similar to it, but still more like a pissed off vaccum.
I guess your town had 1000s then
It's a ballerina siren!
Why does it have a vortex head?
StarKin TH-cam Um no it doesn't....
Well..it doesn't have a 4000 head. that was my bad,sorry
StarKin TH-cam What are you talking about? This is a 4000 series head. In the 1990's the change from the older models with the X in the screen to this type of head was made. This is what all 4000 series sirens look like now.
StarKin TH-cam aren't both heads the same?
Trooper King, 4004s now got vortex heads so it’s confusing
Resin: harassment and bullying
I didnt know that this one sits on top of a Mariano's
kmbfanofpacman It doesn't. It's on a pole behind it.
@@ChicagoSirens it’s near the water tower..
5:47
Don’t worry peachteeesirens I reported them they will be gone but whelovefirealarms did not do anything so he won’t get reported 👍
The voice over and over again is super annoying. They should not do that so many times
