I don't think that's a siren. There's nowhere for sound to exit.

Whatever that thing is, its certainly an odd looking piece of equipment.

Considering it's age (over a decade old) and it's not a vent, I think it's certainly worthy of a field visit. Almost looks like it has an intake on the bottom with 3 phase power running next to it.
If it is a siren, it has to be electronic as I can't see where a motor would be. There's no intake on the bottom either. It might just be a speaker for the church across the street, or some weird custom electronic siren. It does appear to have an antenna like a siren would.
Just a wolf, siren enthusiast and railfan.

that pole has something on it, but it just looks like an electric meter. Hard to say if it has other controls on it, the imagery is less than ideal.
