Whelen Tornado Siren Ambiance (ASMR) + Activation Tones | TORNADO WARNING | Columbus Ohio
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ต.ค. 2024
- During a state wide tornado watch, I began recording before the sirens went to alert in Franklin County and Dublin (The sirens that are heard in the video). Three tornadoes touched down in Circleville, about 20 miles south from the location I recorded from. Because of that, the sirens were re activated to wail/attack, to warn of imminent danger. The tornado passed with out casualties and the sirens were deactivated across the county. You can find more about this storm here www.weather.go...
Hopefully there will be some storms this summer as well, I really enjoyed recording this.

Reading through the documentation for these sirens and controllers, what the first tone / last tone is is the controller telling the sirens what to do. In this case, 753####1D1 and 753####1DD, the Wail and Cancel functions. the two-three other sets are the Siren's telemetry data, data saying where the siren is for, it's ID, what it's doing, it's battery's voltage, and so on. This also explains why the middle ones are much longer, because there's a lot more data to be sent.
EX:
the start code, 753####1D1, is broken down like so:
753 - Area code (Sirens in this city or County)
#### - Siren Code (This one means ALL SIRENS)
1 - "Authentication bit"
D1 - The Function. This is what says "DO THIS!" (In this case, Wail)
The end bit is Similar, 753####1DD:
753
####
1
DD (Cancel)
deserves more likes this is very cool
That's pretty cool, never knew that they did telemetry exchanges like that.
@@DatamasterCorporation Oh yea, If you want to recreate these tones, (For a mock or something like that) the mark time (Or time that the tones are playing) are 40 milliseconds or 2/50th of a second, and the space time (Or time of silence between each tone) is 20 milliseconds, or 1/50th of a second.
So in this case it would be 7(40msec) space (20msec) 5(40msec) space (20msec) 3(40msec) space (20msec) ect...
:O I got schooled!
@@a-c0rn dude you really want to cause trouble.
Sounds like wolfs howling. Spooky yet beautiful at the same time.
This is such a badass recording of whelens. There’s nothing like that whelen wail
I like federal signal UV wail more
Wow, this is really good! I still hear the siren even when I pause the video.
HUH
Run
@@randomguy66256 You mean stay inside a room with no windows and brace.
Get to shelter now like a basement or lowest floor of your home
Unlike the undeniably surreal sound of Federal Signal's alternate wail, this Whelen wolfpack stays firmly planted between normal and abnormal. I find it spookier.

Wow! This is awesome, Creepy but also cool, Sounds like the sirens by my house, we got lots of those sirens here. 🚨 🌪
Have these whelens going off with wail tones, then slap x2 2T22s and a distant 2001 in there and you have some serious nightmare fuel.
Man your not lying 😂😂😂 visit collierville tn on test day I swear our siren system is terrifying
Reminds me of Marysville on Memorial Day evening
this was that storm
This is creepy af but I still fall asleep to it
Falling asleep to it now.😅
Wow! That’s really cool sounding!
This video makes me wish there were siren's near me. I'm making my own that will alert if it receives the right code from NOAA weather radio, closest I'll ever get. Also that dtmf signalling is really fast, I would assume that triggers sirens by area.
Yep those DTMF codes tell the sirens what to do exactly. What kind of siren are you planning on mounting?
@@DatamasterCorporation Not much of one, its an outdoor horn that I'm making a driver for. It is connected to a Motorola radio to be triggered remotely. Eventually I plan to do a more commercial setup but you know, neighbors.
@@KJ7BZC They have some electro mechanical 120 volt sirens on eBay. They might be worth looking at. I've never seen them in person though so I have no idea of their quality
@@DatamasterCorporation I'll have to look into those, seem pretty good.
What you can do too is get like some 50 Watt siren drivers for like $50 bucks. Get like an old Sony or what have you amplifier that you plug the drivers into. There are siren synths online that you play through the sirens with, and it would be easy to transmit voice on a setup like that
Thanks for the asmr
TBH I wouldn’t use sirens as asmr/sleep stuff, I wanna be waken up by that shit. I feel like it would desensitize me to it if I used it to fall asleep
Thanks literal Lancy for your input
I heard the Sentry 3v8 tornado siren go off in Bremen, Ohio the other night. 30 minutes before when I saw the reports of tornado sirens going off, I knocked on my parents door and said "get downstairs. Tornado"
were you near the touchdown?
@@DatamasterCorporation No but a friend of mine was near the touchdown in Outville
@@nssteampunk4865 Ah, well good to see this didn't affect you.
This is the only ASMR I like
Nice
Gotta be the creepiest sirens and setting I’ve seen
Yeah they are pretty ominous sounding. I guess I have grown to like them lol.
I have 3 Baofeng radios. Just don't take the antennae off too much or it might stop working well
Never had a problem with the antennas. I take them off frequently
skyscrapersim Dale where did you find the frequency for the sirens?
I use Uniden.
@@sirensofneohio3979 Totally different ballgame, Cameron
@@sirensofneohio3979 WELL NOW I HAVE MOTOROLA, SO HA!
Great video! And I love you channels' icon. Yoshi's Island DS, no? Good stuff. Keep it up
Thanks, I have another video of this happening earlier this year. I'm thinking of uploading it soon.
I wish we had a working siren system here in Springfield, Massachusetts; the June 1st, 2011 tornado (which we are coming on the 10th anniversary of) is proof that the New England area is not immune to tornadoes. If I had a say in which siren system was used here I would use the Whelen WPS-4003/4004 series like the ones used in my hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The last dial tone was the siren talking back to the controller room with a status report
How can you tell? I am surprised that I was able to get reception of that siren because it is about 12 miles away from where this was recorded.
@@DatamasterCorporation by the tones
@@nicholadstoap6944 Do the newer ones do this as well or do you know the unit ID of the siren that is Dual toned
Before the radio goes off it sounds like there’s a carter siren in the background
@Timofey Kozyrev It sounds weak because it is a rotating siren about 2 miles away from the camera. That siren is part of a different system than the one that is activated at 0:25
@Timofey Kozyrev the sirens activated at 0:25 are omnidirectional
Nah bro the way this Ohio must be on the Ohio memes right away💀
Ohio is not for the weak.
this is pretty relaxing to me
That motherfucking radio cought that fucking lightning. OH HELL NO! TURNING SIRENS ON! SCANNING WEATHER! Tornado Detected. 0:23
What are you talking about
@@DatamasterCorporation What I mean is that your radio turned on at the same time when the lighting striked
What frequency do you use to get the siren tones?
I was very traumatized by my siren that night, I stayed up until it the storms were gone
I invented tornadoes to traumatize people like you
@@DatamasterCorporation dang!!
@@DatamasterCorporation Jeez ya killed him XD
How do you find the frequency and is it possible to pick it up on a SDR on testing days?
Yeah you can, there are good ways to find it but I am honestly not aware of them. I was just lucky to find it posted online.
its all fun and games until you stop the vid and you still hear the sirens
lol
if i heard that i think id have an anxiety attack
Just out of curiosity, Is 155.895 the frequency Columbus uses for the siren activation's? Also, What model of handheld scanner is that?
155.895 Is what Dublin uses. Columbus might trunk their siren channels, I'll do some investigating for you. Its a Baofeng GT-3TP. Best Boafeng on the market
Hmm, I would just try this channel in Cbus and see if it works. I don't see any-other channels on radio reference for Franklin county I think the tones at 1:20 are from Columbus to deactivate their sirens
@@DatamasterCorporation I will, I think Westerville uses the same as well or it might be all Franklin. Thanks for the information bro. I need a new scanner so i'll check that model out. EDIT: Btw, Just found out Franklin Co EMS actually covers the entire county and it's divided up into 4 zones for sirens (Northeast, northwest..etc). I think each zone might have its own freq.. not sure but thought that would be an interesting bit of info.
@@natedagr8257 I think each zone uses unique DTMF tones or are on different CTS or DCS tones. On the day they test them you can hear distant DTMF tones from what I think are other regions
@@DatamasterCorporation Franklin County does is not and doesn't plan to trunk their siren system, as it will cause a lot of problems.
The only reason we like Whelen sirens is because of the sound.
Ya don’t say lol
Yeah, I am less paranoid about those.
Sounds like whelen wps 4004's on attack tone
It's alot of whelens 2750s and alot more
I'm pretty sure they don't deactivated the sirens they just shut them off because they do sirens test all the time usually at 12
How do you find the frequencys where the tones are broadcasted to activate the sirens? I do have a scanner, and I can receive frequencies from 108-199 and 400-512. The scanner is a Uniden SR30C.
Radio reference.
@@DatamasterCorporation what do I need to search for? Will it be fire ems, or fire ground? I have those all programmed in my scanner
@@TheTechPianoPlayerKid It should have it listed if someone in you area has scanned it.
I have a dream about my town being hit by a tornado and the sirens going off whenever a storm is going.
Sounds like a really nice dream
Datamaster sure does
Austin, I go to your school. We don't have tornado sirens. We have nuclear powerplant sirens.
Is that a baofeng radio and if so what model, I just recently got my uv-5r and unfortunately all I can really listen to is the csx train frequencies but I still really like it
This is a GT3TP. Look around on radio reference and see what you can listen to
@@DatamasterCorporation definitely and I have been looking around in there, unfortunately here in upstate New York we’ve converted to the digital trunked p-25 system so my little uv-5r can’t listen to police fire and EMS but like I said it’s still a fun little radio
@@benmeyer2916 Also doesn't help that NY is UHF 400mgz which makes the XTS' that you'd need to listen to them like 400 dollars.
edit, it might not be I was thinking of NY city
@@DatamasterCorporation yeah looking around eBay and Amazon most digitally trunked radios around the 100-1000 dollar range, crazy expensive, and I’m in upstate New York near Syracuse
This actually scares me
Why I think it is so much fun
skyscrapersim Dale it does sound cool
@@DatamasterCorporation to tell you at the same time something bad will happen
@@mjt777x8 what
You do have a weather alert radio as well, right? 🙂
No
@@DatamasterCorporation You should get one. If you're not able to hear an outdoor siren, such as if you're asleep at home, it will wake you up and alert you in case a tornado is coming your way.
@@denelson83 HICCUP
I don't need one because if the tornado hits my house it will wake me up
Oh man this sound from the sirens is so scary
I quite like the sound of them actually. It's soothing in a way.
@@DatamasterCorporation ah okay
If the dtmf code was dialed manually on the transmitter, would it turn on the sirens?
Assuming you had the proper frequency and CTS/DPL tones
@@DatamasterCorporation If I recorded the tones on my mobile phone, then I would hold the transmitter and play from my mobile phone 😁
@@REDERlX Not a good idea
@@REDERlX well then all the sirens are gonna go off and you would get arrested
@@DatamasterCorporationnot just that, the DTMF needs to be played at a very specific speed for it to work which only the encoder can do. If you just punch in the right numbers with a Baofeng slowly, the sirens won’t do anything
Clayton be like: "Please remove the tones." XD
Who's Clayton
@@DatamasterCorporation Clayton Werden. An ASC Dealer in the Cincinnati area. Owner of Werden Electric and Werden Siren.
@@queencitysirens8755 do they not have activation tones?
@@DatamasterCorporation No, he just doesn't like activation tones being put into videos because he is worried about sirens getting hacked. Just overworried siren enthusiasts. No worries, it's not illegal. If it was a big deal tones in public videos would be illegal.
@@queencitysirens8755 While it is easy to find. You'd also need the proper DPL/PL tones for you to be able to transmit to the sirens. Plus it's very easy to them to turn them off/back on if someone was to activate them. Honestly all the overly worried people in hobbies just ruin the fun for people who just want to learn about how particular things work.
Were the sirens activated for a watch?
How did you find the code for your for your walkie-talkie I have a BAOFENG UV-5R AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW ?

the tornado sirens wailign sounds is very creepy if i ever hear that in my life i would ust tak e shelter imeditalyor go outside ad look for cool lightning art becasue ounce inunction city ks i saw a chain of lighting it was amazing
What??
Oh yeah that was very scary
can i use this for my custom siren anbiance
ill give you credit!
Sure. Send me a link to what ever you're working on when you're done.
ok thanks!
@@aprilbarker6016 what did you end up using this for?
wait i forgot i was making this ill resume making it
Are they activated via the Fire Department frequency?
No they have their own frequency. Fire dispatch for Franklin is trunked
National Weather Service in Wilmington which has entirely Whelens activate the sirens.
I think Dublin has upgraded their siren radio system. Because their frequency no longer the same one that is shown in this video
@@DatamasterCorporationits still the same, PL is different but the license is on public works
I had a amber alert in Staten Island but a tornado watch started on brooklyn
Hazel grey The grey cat I live in New Jersey so I don’t live to far from there. I hope u guys are alright
Hazel grey The grey cat I thought you said Satan island lol
We’re there 4004’s or 3016
I’m really glad that I don’t live near a tornado siren otherwise I will not have a very good night!
It's nice living by sirens

@@jackibster5482 Yeah you can subcribe
@Datamaster what is the alert siren in the back ground with the higher town at the beginning?
That is Franklin county sirens. They only ever sound Alert. I've never heard them do attack.
What's the model? @@DatamasterCorporation
That's whelen vortex or wps 4004?
4004 and some of those omnidirectional sirens.
I like those keypad number sounds it reminds me the 90s. AOL!
Same tones, DTMF
@@DatamasterCorporation dose it look like I got stupid written all over my face. I know what does are
@@gabrielmikhail7525 Well now I think you're dumb, you spelled dose instead of does.
What camera do you use for this video?
Galaxy Note 8
@@DatamasterCorporation nice!
I'm guessing that is a police scanner making the activation tones.
It's just a dual band radio. The activation tones are coming out of the radio that is seen in the picture.
So at 0:25 that makes the sirens start going?
Yep, they're called DTMF tones. Same ones used on cell phones
skyscrapersim Dale ok and would my town be the same frequency?
@@nicholasmohr3353 It might be. I'd check a website called radio reference, It should have your town frequencies.
Whats the Walkie Talkie for?
So you can hear the activation codes
How do I get siren activation tones.
Find your siren activation channle. A good website would be radio reference
skyscrapersim Dale thanks
What happened that night?
love it
Thanks
EOWS and Whelen tornado sirens on Alert and Attack Mode
There are no Federal Signal EOWS sirens in the area. The sirens you are hearing on alert are Columbus sirens.
How do you here tornado sirens Frequency
You can look it up and dial it in on a programmable radio
Does Franklin county use wail for tornado warnings? This is the only video I've seen where they don't use the alert tone.
They use wail for tornado warnings
@@DatamasterCorporation very cool! I might be moving there from Indy. It'll be nice to live somewhere that doesn't solely use FS 2001s.
@@Evan.Coverdill-CONVEX There are some older Whelens in Columbus. The last thunderbolts sounded in 2008 I believe
Franklin county has only used Wail one time during a tornado warning as far as I can remember, and I think it was a mistake (and I might've been hearing something else). Dublin's system of Whelen 2x05s goes off in Wail for emergencies, or at least tornado warnings. However, I've heard their sirens clearly from my house, and I live about 4 miles away from the nearest Dublin siren.
@@jeremydunn6089 Columbus is pretty stingy about it, I've heard them use wail once. The rest of the time it was just alert for weather events. Dublin has a pretty clear distinction, alert for watches, wail for warnings.
Is that a baofeng?
Yes
@@DatamasterCorporation thanks for the quick reply!
I have one too , these are very capable of almost anything!
@@DreStyle Yeah these are good for things like this. Of course Motorola or Kenwood have better durability, but these work just fine for listening to things.
i also hear thunderbolts
I think Whelen 2900s and 2800s? Maybe Vortex Or 4004?
2 Whelen Vortexes, 1 Whelen 3016, and 2 Thunderbolt 1000Ts according to a list of sirens in the county that I found on Google
@@Devo57 Yea i think the thunderbolts are gone now
Franklin County gang
by the manual decode:
DTMF CODE 753####1D1
Dublin has changed their siren activation frequencies. Boooooooooooooooo
This coda according to the Manual Means area code 753 ALL SIRENS Station 1 Function D1
@@DatamasterCorporation Just a tought ive had, isnt it possible to replicate the DTMF or do a relay so that you manually activate the sirens yourself?
@@Gripengamer Yes you could, but is just one of those things you should never do
Y'all hear sumthin?
Sounds like Siren Head...
Nah it's fine.
Stay safe
Eh, there's never been a touch down near my house. Thanks though
Are Dublin's sirens the ones doing Wail? I heard these in the distance during this warning, but Iive in Columbus, which has Franklin County sirens that do Alert.
Think dublin has different thresholds for wail and Alert. I've herd dublin's siren's do both during weather events
Dublin’s only do wail during tornado warnings and short alert for tests. However, rumor is they used to do air horn for severe thunderstorm warnings and another signal besides wail for tornado warnings likely before 2006-2008. So yes, Dublin’s omnis are in wail and Franklin county’s 4004s are in alert
Dublin is in a different system than Franklin.
@@dankmemer751 Dublin never did the air horn. I've lived here for 17 years+. Never heard it
skyscrapersim Dale Thats sounds more right than the people on the siren board. Thank you for the clarification.
0:25 wat u wanted take it
