Low mounted Sirens in US

[WPS4004Man]

I think it’s a foghorn? If you can see the image I attached they can get pretty big. I guess they have to be heard from miles away, but it’s surprising to me that they can be as large as entire buildings.

I think thats a diaphone? Are there any diaphone experts here?

That’s not a diaphone. Google that first.

It does however look to be an air horn more than a siren. Where is it located?

If I am not mistaken, it's in Canada somewhere. Toronto maybe?

Where is it? Can we see it on Googlemaps? Streetview? What's the building for?

That’s what I was thinking too and that’s why I was curious where it was. Wanted to see if there was water nearby.

Here's the Toronto horn. Definitely looks like the same thing, but on a different building. Probably a fog horn.

Looks like they're of the same manufacture. Probably a fog horn of some sort, although it could have been an early weather alert system

Any Google Maps links?

Also, Happy New Year to you all!

Oh holy hell that is low

What makes matters worse is that it is active. I might record it someday since I live close to it.

It looks like it's a pre-1972 short horn version too, it could possibly be 10/12 or 8/12. If you could record it that would be awesome.

I think all Allertors installed in Arkansas were Pre-1972.
