People, _this_ video is a perfect example of what the fire alarm system in the World Trade Center sounded like when activated: just a whoop tone, no message (unlike what I've seen some people claim). It's nice that this mall still has & still uses its MXL-V though: they're becoming rarer & rarer these days (I like the tones & messages on it too). Can you believe that nobody's taking the alarm seriously & just continuing to walk around as if nothing's happening, even though their very life could be at stake?
I will take your word on WTC as for this system it may have never had a message or maybe he or she just missed it. Two of the buildings my dad managed at his old job had old Simplex 2001 panels with voice evac and the system did the pre-4100u slow whoop twice then it would play the default message three times then just whoop until silenced.
Pretty much all NYC Class E Systems (Highrises) have no automatic messages because they have a "Fire Safety Director" person at all times to do live page if needed, in rare cases if they do then they will have to be approved by FDNY to have automatic messages
Let's face it, it's more boring without the message of a speaker strobe, like if their isn't gonna be a voice, why can't they just use a horn/strobe instead
grew up in paoli as a kid, always went to this mall on the weekend. that was in the 80's, all these years ive been away and the decay of the shopping malls nationwide, ive always wondered if this mall is still a happening place as it was back then. ty for video
Depending on where they are, it may not be required by code yet. In my state, we just adopted the 2012 version of the NFPA code. So audible silence is still legal in my area.
Sometimes duct or smoke detectors sense stuff like smoke or carbon and send it into an alarm and will continue until the area is cleared of the smell or is fixed
So that’s why they have to use tge eat sound one now days because people don’t mind or take the whoop seriously which I like the whoop and speaker sounds way better than the alarms that keep beeping eat they are louder , more annoying and could make some deaf.
@California CC toilets I don’t think those were speaker strobes I think those were regular horn strobes in the pictures but most of the building probably had the speaker strobes

@@GaryBeltz I believe people have found footage of the WTC's system sounding & all you hear is a whoop tone, no message.

@@Weihuanwu Precisely.

I love the generic disco remix of rock steady in the background of the back rooms lol
Skip to what to hear the alarms
Was there a voice message or just that tone
Looks that the strobes are not synced in some places, and Audible Silence is not turned off or they just shut the speakers off.

Fire alarm strobes flashing, smell
Of something burnt, and police and fighter fighters, but I’m gonna still walk in the building. 🤦♂️
People are stupid
Hey, I moved from Philadelphia to Tennessee. Can you make a video on the Dover at the Springfield Mall in Delco?
Oh my they're playing Rock Steady by: The Whispers lol I'm ecstatic 🤣
anyone have the tone from this video? like a file? I need it please . thanks
Where is the main electrical room?
Wasn't it from last year? I've been there a few times (Post COVID)
Was there a mechanical error to make the fire alarm go off or did someone pulled it?

where did it go off?
0:10 Russell Behaves At The Mall For The 75th Years Off / UnGrounded By Lab Coat Bambi
who set them off
What happened at KOP mall?
The fire alarm went off
Was This A Test Or Malfunction?
Do you work at KOP is that why you’re in the back rooms
I don't think you're allowed to be in the back of the mall I'm not sure
1:44 Fire Alarm
hold on its has the same sound as the twin towers..
Bro💀
Yeah, it's Pyrotronics slow whoop tone, it's not only in the Twin Towers, actually alot of places use it, as well as the Firecom 8500 👍
Thats a really nice mall
I like that music. 😄

So that’s why they have to use tge eat sound one now days because people don’t mind or take the whoop seriously which I like the whoop and speaker sounds way better than the alarms that keep beeping eat they are louder , more annoying and could make some deaf.
Are you allowed in the back
Probably works there
@abandonedmass2333 I don't think so I could be wrong
Exact same whoop tone in the original wtc 1 and wtc 2. Not sure about the notification / horn strobes tho
the red speaker strobe that you saw in the stairwell was correct
Did the original twin towers used those wheelock speaker strobes? Or just the speakers?
@California CC toilets like vertical strobes?
@California CC toilets when did wheelock release the horizontal strobe version? could be after 9/11.
@California CC toilets I don’t think those were speaker strobes I think those were regular horn strobes in the pictures but most of the building probably had the speaker strobes
