Probably 8/10. I just wish more sirens were made with it.
I have an unhealthy obsession with mini sirens.

8/12, 9/12, 10/12 (Very slightly lower-pitched than an electric Mobil Directo)

My favorite port combos are: 8/10, 8/16, 10/12, and 8

Electronic wise, I would say a Whelen WPS-4004 with an analog ESC-864 playing at 755 hz.

Definitely 10/12. There's just something so unique and harmonic about that ratio.

Anything that makes a major or minor chord (8/12 is my favorite!) It'd be super cool, (yet I'd question the effectiveness) if you could make a jazzy chord with an electronic siren (Bbmajor7 would be super cool, since all you'd have to do is add a 440hz (A4) tone to B flat (465hz) and F (700hz). Basically, A P-50 plus 440hz)
