Now, this one isn't much of a siren anymore, but possibly a former siren location. I was bored, so I was strolling through Google Maps Streetview in areas of town I hadn't been to before, and I stumbled upon what looked like an old siren tower, not too far away from one of the T-128s in the current siren system. It almost looks like there's still a yellow siren control box mounted on it?

I'm not too sure what siren would've gone here. Maybe an old ACA siren or Federal Signal? Judging from the yellow control box?
Most likely a former siren location. Possibly a Model 5/7 motor housing part.
Hmm....interesting....I'm not sure my town has ever had sirens that small....I remember a post from Ben Shinn when he was talking about how he helped to install the RM-130 sirens in Ardmore....he said they took down 8 2T22 sirens, 1 early 2001 DC, and 2 Thunderbolts. This was the siren near the airport....now if only he remembered what siren went here.....it almost looks like a Thunderbolt blower pipe used to be somewhere in the tower, if you look at the first picture. Could have also been a 2T22 maybe?

That appears to be what's left of an airport beacon tower. Here's an example: Image

That could also be very likely, as it is located on a small municipal airport property. Still very interesting though.

I was looking around Australia for any sirens, considering I live there, and stumbled upon an unknown siren. Any help identifying it would be great!

Sounds mechanical but almost electronic in a way. Any guesses?

Sounds like one of those KM Europ sirens.
I could be wrong.

I compared the two in side-by-side YouTube tabs and this sound is even lower pitch than a KM siren. I'm curious to know what the siren is, but the sound seems arbitrary.

It's very confusing. The steady tone sounds mechanical, but the wind down sounds very strange, almost like a Finnish Teho-Ulvo. It doesn't help that we don't know where this took place.

Sounds very similar to a Techo-Ulvo siren, just pitched down.

After reading the description, I saw the person mentioned a barangay, which is a type of village in the Phillipines. I do not know what sirens they have in the Phillipines, except for some Hormanns.
