LOL, it's been a long time since I've seen a video of a T-128! You know, I miss 2004 and the years before it, when most of the siren-videos were opened through Real Player, Windows Media, etc., not YouTube! :lol:

That T-128 sounds more high pitch than I remember them sounding.

I miss that to, but its hard to complain, I mean, look how many siren videos that are on youtube now. It used to be a huuuge deal when a siren enthusiast recorded a siren (we'd get like what...1-2 recordings a month?), now, new ones pop up everyday on youtube from all over the country! :P

BTW, if your itching to open youtube vid's up on WMP, etc, they have stream ripping software that will let you save the video as a file to your computer.

That is the pitch of all the Omaha sirens. It is higher than the older models, which sounded a Bb instead of a C like this one.

Don't know the range of adjustment, but it is infinitely variable, adjusted with a rheostat inside the control cabinet.
