At the time of the video? Or currently?
They were LONG gone at the time of this video.
Oh. So just MODs were in that area?

The video, IIRC, is from 1984. The Mod is much newer than that; my guess is that the siren they were howling along with was a Thunderbolt, like most of Chicago's system was at the time.

The siren in that video is not a Thunderbolt, and I do not think they are howling at a siren as they are still howling after the siren stops.

This is the clip they used in the silent hill movie. It's definitely 10 port. But I'm not sure on how authentic it is, it very well may be a synth, and it could also be a real (but definitely edited) recording. Who knows.

I would almost agree that this would be a synth, but what would make that odd to me is that if it was designed to be a stock sound, why is there wind and traffic noise in the background? At 0:16, you can very easily hear some sort of motor vehicle in the background.
But then, if it is real, what the heck creates this ungodly wail?

The siren could be a 12 port single-headed Carter siren. It peaks at the correct pitch for a 12-port siren on 50hz.

Sorry for the huge bump.
But I know very well that this is a Federal Model 2-240 siren that was recorded from a distance.

Guys on the previous page it's said that it's a single tone klaxon siren by a guy who knows what he's talking about. Sorry I know that sounds a little harsh ish but even though it sounds a bit like a model 2 both DJ and mister Jeb said that it was most likely a klaxon.

Since it has been bumped, I was wondering if anyone has a picture of the supposed single tone Klaxon that's the siren operating the audio? I'm not sure if I asked this question anywhere else.

It is not a single toned Klaxon, It is a Model 2-240 in an area with a lot of trees that was recorded from a distance.
Why I say it is in an area with a lot of trees, is because the echo has the effect of the sound passing off from one to another
