    Excellent video as always. I actually developed a classification scheme for mechanical signals, which is fairly in-depth.
    Solenoid-Driven:
    Bell - Hammer strikes a thick metal plate. Single-stroke or vibrating.
    (Examples: Simplex 4080, Edwards Adaptabel, Wheelock 46T)
    Chime Bar - Hammer strikes a rectangular bar. Single-stroke or vibrating.
    (Examples: Autocall Executive, Simplex 2902-9234, Edwards 339, mechanical doorbells)
    Reed Buzzer - Metal reed rapidly taps directly against electromagnet contact.
    (Examples: Faraday 7410, Edwards Dixie Buzzer, most dryer buzzers)
    Flat Buzzer - Hammer rapidly strikes a thin metal diaphragm.
    (Examples: Simplex 2901-9838, Wheelock 34T and 31T, Federal Vibratone 450)
    Hi-Hat Buzzer - Cymbal-like diaphragm rapidly oscillates against metal plate. Generates residual wind.
    (Examples: Edwards Adaptahorn, Federal Vibratone 350, most vehicle horns)
    Resonating Horn - Airtight diaphragm forces air through extremely narrow space.
    (Examples: Federal 53, 55, and some types of locomotive horn)
    Motor-Driven:
    Motor Bell - Rotating motor drives bell striker. Vibrating only.
    (Examples: Amseco MBA, Wheelock MB, System Sensor SSM)
    Motor Horn (Klaxon) - Rotating motor drives toothed cogwheel against metal diaphragm.
    (Examples: Amseco BZ-54VT, submarine diving horns)
    Motor Siren - Rapidly spinning blade forces air through small side ports.
    (Examples: Federal Signal Models A and B9, Master Blaster, civil defense sirens)

      Interesting. I suspect many old smoke alarm horns, like the Kobishi CLB-27 are of the “high hat” type. Looking into the horn aperture, you can see that it’s a circular metal plate held with a pin in the center, like a cymbal.

      @@willbill808 Neat! I never really gave much thought to the miniature ones. Also, apparently the hi-hat type is also called a "disc horn" in the automotive industry.

    This is the only video about this on TH-cam

    Nice technical explanation!
