I don't own any sirens myself, but I'd say the 3T22 is one of the cooler sirens out there, being one of the few with coding dampers and capable of hi-lo signals. The 10/12 port ratio also sounds really nice. They're quite large assembled, but with the horns removed they're a lot more manageable, if tall.

Loud, effective, and ominous sounding.

One of the most musical non-Japanese sirens.

The 3T22 is honestly one of my favorites. Its chilling, harmonious sound gives me chills.

Interesting conversation pieces if you get one that is 3 phase. Mine has been sitting behind my shed for 8 years now.

I'm not an owner of any type of siren, but I'd say that the 3T22 is pretty iconic. I mean, the sound it produces is what I imagined as a kid when I heard the words "tornado siren".

I’ve seen 3T22s, and they are pretty nice to take care of. Although I don’t have one, I have seen many enthusiasts restore sirens like this. One example is a 2T22B in Rhine, GA. The 2T22B was restored and was louder than its original installment. According to a video, the siren can be heard beyond 3 miles,

how can the 2t22b sound louder than it originally did when it was new?
