The sad is they quit making 3016s in 1990. If you want a Dual Tone 3016 your gonna have to call West Shore Services and explain to them what you desire from them.
@@thewashateriawandererzayne4376 Yeah the Ones that Weren't Good, 3000s, 2000s, and 1000s aren't as Good as 4000s, and the Evolution from 2700s to 2900s has Brought up the Range and Loudness, the Hornet is Ok i guess, it's like 1/4th a Vortex.
@PNSB101 As far as we know, the world's loudest siren that was ever built is the Chrysler 180 HP V8 Hemi siren which produces 138dB at 100 feet. They were only made from 1952 to 1957. Now the world's loudest siren currently made is the Tempest 135.
ESC-864 to be exact. The ESC-2020 witch came after the 864, doesn't have dual tone sadly :-( I think Whelen needs to bring back this dual tone 864 sound because the 864 is the best sounding controller Whelen made.
@@gabrielstravels Just because it sounds like it, doesn't mean that it is. And the Siratone Wail sounds totally different. It doesn't even sound the same. So you fail.
@@PlatinumEagleStudios well I only found out later that they were Whelen ESC 864 analog catalogues. Plus i'm no expert on sirens, so please don't call me "fail". I only got interested in sirens because I watched a teenager cartoon series based on sirens.
Bruh I hate when 2001’s replace tornado sirens, like I hate it, Those cool old tornado sirens are replaced by other tornado sirens like a 3t22 in a fire station replaced with a other 2001
@EngulfedSix As for rotational type of Whelens, they only have 4 horns that connects together into a big rectangular horn. Those would be called WPS-4000 series or Vortexes. If you have pictures of the siren your wondering about, you can send them to me and I can help you identify it.
I love these and the good ol thunderbolts, its when they die down that really chills me everywhere you go in my town theres sirens we must have some 2001's cause they talked and when i heard them i almost crapped my pants cause sirens dont talk!!!
Whelen should bring back the dual tone for their WPS and Vortex sirens, only set the tones to match a T-bolt set on tap 5 or maybe 4. This one is like a T-bolt set on tap 6 or maybe 7 (depending on input voltage, etc.)
I can't really tell if this siren really did fail or if the EMA director just decommissioned a lot of them due to the fact that the new siren update was in progress.
Well since the Michigan's economy is like hell, 2001-130s are the cheapest siren they can think of. Its also proving to us siren lovers that we are in a very depressing life! :(
Do you know, even today, does Livonia manually send a cancel tone rather than letting them run their 3 minute cycles? Cause this one just cuts off, as if a cancel tone was sent.
ChrisCo-Op Gaming Dual tone sounds better but single tones carry further unless the pitch is too high which is why the 2001 is so bad. Lower pitch single tones like the T-128 do a better job than the 2001 or the Chinese ATI. but still this Whelen sounds incredible!
@@JoshuaTheSCPKing I have a 2001, down the street from my workplace, and a mile from my apartment building...those, go off on the 1st Tuesday of the month, at aproxx 11 am, CST in porter county ind...while I'm on my lunch break at work.
What are the odds that im watching this on the last day of school and its a half day no teaching, And I get a notification of a Livonia Modulator for SRP
I'm a young sirenphile, so I have no idea why there's so much hate against Whelens. Can anyone explain this to me? Personally, I prefer electromechanical sirens, but this has a pretty nice tone.

ahh the old analog ESC-864 dual toned control boxes gotta love their sound. :)
the eon duo yes and ♾% times better than ati
one of my favorite analog whelens
I absolutely love the dual-tone 864s
Whelen WPS 3016 talking like the EOWS.
who knew that a Whelen could sound like an EOWS in attack
Its not attck ITS WAIL
@@Veedandysworldyoutube You think replying to a 12 year old comment will do anything? 💀
A Whelen 3016 with ESC-864 Analog Dual Tone controller. Quite a rare find.
SlayerGaming_TV yes that true
ThatTechDude and sadly a 2001-130 is there now
Sounds like a thunderbolt 1000T on chopper level 6 in attack mode.
Thunderbolt 1000T true
@MatthewIsntHere he is right. If this were a mechanical siren, not electronic, it would sound scary similar.
The sad is they quit making 3016s in 1990. If you want a Dual Tone 3016 your gonna have to call West Shore Services and explain to them what you desire from them.
Coming from 11 years ago, the sad thing is over half of whelens original sirens have stopped being produced.

arlingtontrainsweather124 me too
Yup
Yess!

There were Thunderbolts in the town as they say,before and now they put the noise on the whelen 3016.

There are single toned SiraTone controllers out there but the majority are Dual tone
Boooooooooooooooop
Is it just me or does this WPS 3016 actually have a Siratone EOWS 408/612/812 soundcard?

Discovering the world & more fail you bitch
They do have a SiraTone vibe to them, but this is a Whelen ESC-864 in dual tone.
Rest in peace Livonia's old siren system
These sound like a lower pitched EOWS siren. Does anyone have the frequencies for this controller? I'd love to know the top frequency for each tone.
Approximately 711.3/855
Detroit has a refinery plant with a STH-10 along with ether a Model 5/7 next to the boarder line of Melvindale, MI.
My god, that siren absolutely SCARES me when it does attack. Great video.
I remember seeing one in person at Houghton Lake, MI but that is a four hour drive from Livonia.
i love the dual tone
Love it! Sad it got replaced. 2001-130's aren't the best. I like the old Whelen wail tone better than the new one, especially the dual tone wail.
Bruh I hate when 2001’s replace tornado sirens, like I hate it, Those cool old tornado sirens are replaced by other tornado sirens like a 3t22 in a fire station replaced with a other 2001
Wow. Contrary to most Whelen sirens I've heard, this one actually sounds pretty good. Like it a lot.
This sound like high pitched thunderbolt
These are one of the times a siren enthusiast gets lucky right before a siren is about to go

WOOOOO great vid dan! Ill try to get a recording of our dual toners sometime!
Whelen engineering need to bring the 3016s back
federal signal modulator kid003 and the ESC-864 Controller
Stupid idea. The cost would not be worth it. Much cheaper to make a siren with 4 400 watt drivers then one with 16 100 watt drivers. Think about it.
@@PlatinumEagleStudios True. They should keep the designs but bring the old sounds back
With how the analog controllers work, ESC-864 should’ve stayed.
sounds like an EOWS 612
Yeah.
Dual tone Whelens are, by far, the best sounding electronic siren out there. I'd rather have these than 2001s even.
It sounds like a mix of a modulator a thunderbolt.
DUAL TONE!
I love this siren cause its Rocks
Awesome sound! It sounds just like the Federal Signal Thundermod Modulators! Too bad there isnt a whelen like that near my area :(
It sounds like a EOWS.
Music to my ears
Oh Ma GoD iT sOuNdS lIkE aN eOwS
I'm surprised at how good this siren actually sounds. Pretty Impressive for a Whelen.
It would be a 2001 DC coming from Farmington and 7 mile Rd about 2 miles west of this siren.
Did got replace by a 2001 130
th-cam.com/video/M0FXP9ipUMw/w-d-xo.html
sond like EOWS all most
Yes but EOWS is high pitch
It also sound like blasteriffic 9000
@@acap1079that doesn’t exist
Some kids these days 💀
Livonia seem to have a cool system back then
Why doesn't Whelen make dual tone digital controllers? Why did they only do it for analog? This sounds amazing and loud.
Because the need for dual tone sirens was no longer needed after the cold war ended in 1991.
Great sounding siren
How come the one at Emerson middle school has a long wind-down and this one cuts-off?
At 1:39 sounds like a thunderbolt
So cool I love whelen wps 3016
@sirenfan97 The factory must have screwed up on the timer setting for this one.
Lol this is right down the road from where I used to live. Right there on middlebelt haha. Good times.
Wow. Never knew Whelens could be dual-toned
i think its because there replacing all the good old ones like the thunderbolt and stuff like that
Whelen should bring back the dual tone for their WPS and Vortex sirens, only set the tones to match a T-bolt set on tap 5 or maybe 4. This one is like a T-bolt set on tap 6 or maybe 7 (depending on input voltage, etc.)
Its in a junk yard at West Shore Services in Allendale, MI.
I can't really tell if this siren really did fail or if the EMA director just decommissioned a lot of them due to the fact that the new siren update was in progress.
I live in Livonia and have never heard that siren before
Hey didn’t this siren replace with a modulator
No, a 2001 replaced this. th-cam.com/video/M0FXP9ipUMw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Siren1000T
This Whelen has respect for the late EOWS 612.
U must be a T.S.M. fan! Ha!
Don't EOWS 612s make fun of Whelen sirens due to lack of collector rings?
I don't understand why they would replace a dual tone siren with a single tone siren...
Sounds like a EOWS and a 2001-SRNB
at least you bought it
He bought the whelen wps 3000 it was in emerson middle school
it looks like 3 whelen sirens stack on each other
It sounds like the eows siren
Firefighter paramedic 162 that's just what I was thinking
It’s now a 2001 130
Yep. Livonia, Michigan Wayne County.
@sirenfan97 No they were all made the same.
@bohrokthunder The cord at the bottom right is a lamp i think.
Well since the Michigan's economy is like hell, 2001-130s are the cheapest siren they can think of. Its also proving to us siren lovers that we are in a very depressing life! :(
@sirenfan97 I think Whelen Pubic Siren. I may not be correct though.
pubic? lmao
definitely not.
@timeslip325 Go into my playlist and click on "My Whelen 3016" section, scroll down near the bottom and you will see one.
Do you know, even today, does Livonia manually send a cancel tone rather than letting them run their 3 minute cycles? Cause this one just cuts off, as if a cancel tone was sent.
That particular one was programmed like that. Not sure why but all the other Whelens in Livonia seem to have that longer wind down like Emerson's.
Siren1000T ok thanks
I like dual tone ones ..
I thought you said it was in your garage. Or was that the Emerson Middle School whelen.
Balls that thing gets my attention in Westland
I agree with you too. That is awesome.
Why replace a siren with a very effective sound with a 2001? I hate when old sirens get replaced with a 2001.
ChrisCo-Op Gaming better than with an ati

Sir. This is a Whelen.
Don't the newer 3016's have shorter horns in the back.
It has a siratone controller
ESC-864 controller.
It is a ESC 864 analog dual tone.
I never knew dual tone was possible on an 864
Whelen WPS 3016 sound like EOWS
I meant to say are the Westland sirens going to be replaced by 2001-130s?
Yeah. Either my memory's just bad or the pain medicine they give since I've been i,n the hospilal for an infection in abdomen is making me loopy
I would think that it would be just simpler to purchase a 864 and at home just switch the jumper on board to make the tone generator dual tone.
Dual tone loveliness
I just remembered that right after I posted that comment. Sorry if I sounded stupid.
Now if they only just bring back the Thunderbolts....
This sounds better than other whelens actually xD

hehe thx i see three of these in a day
Sounds a bit like like A lower pitched siratone moat likely a eows since rotation is here
Nope. They stopped in 1990 then the 4000 Series replaced em.
Do you know what year whelen introduced the 3016 by any chance?
Are the Westland Sirens going to FS 2001-130s? Btw i like your 3016 siren.
Total was $300.
Sounds like eows 612
Same.
It sounds like a thunderbolt!
Not even like a thunderbolt but it's sounds like An EOWS 4016
@@MAJTeam-kk3dt First of all an EOWS 4016 never existed, secondly Siratone has the ability to sound similar to this.
i used this siren in an animation i made. if you want to see it, i put the video as a video response
That’s a short wind down at 3:05
@poppinoncrackvideos You would be correct.
Sounds like an ice cream truck from hell. But still is awesome.
my friend came up with that one.
if you wanna hear an ice cream truck from hell, listen to a modulator or eows 612 in alternating wail
Westland will be eventually cause its part of Wayne County.
It sounds a lot like both an EOWS and a Thunderbolt 1003/1000T on Chopper 7
i love whelen 3016!!!!!!!!!
wow loud and powerful
