Yeah I thought it probably was at first but it appears to have the Federal logo on top. I suppose it could be something like an old exhaust fan or similar though. A drone could help in a sure identification.

Someone probably took the drivers, made horns and a custom box for it when the original siren head got damaged.archizackture wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 4:41 amThis siren at the VFD in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.

Interesting. I'm looking at that pipe and wondering if that's a diaphone kind of mechanism? The one at USRFD has a pipe like that but it seems to be an electrical conduit with a visible breaker box on the side. And what I heard was EXACTLY like a Whelen in wail tone (continuously cycling up and down without pausing).
In the future please don't baselessly speculate like that.Jake_7367 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 2:08 pmSomeone probably took the drivers, made horns and a custom box for it when the original siren head got damaged.archizackture wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 4:41 amThis siren at the VFD in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.

I'm 99% sure that thing wasn't playing a Whelen wail tone. It's a diaphragm horn. As for the disconnect you saw, perhaps it's some sort of shutoff for an electric valve in the box the horns are mounted on?archizackture wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 4:44 pmInteresting.

Well in that case, I need to figure out where the wail tone was coming from! The only other siren I know of within a 3-mile radius is an STH-10 (Tallman fire dept.) that, of course, doesn't sound like an electronic wail tone.Synther wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 7:20 pmI'm 99% sure that thing wasn't playing a Whelen wail tone.

Here's a more accurate link for anyone having trouble finding it: https://goo.gl/maps/avWF7jfsTJzbKjvBAJackson95 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 11:22 pmI don't know if anyone has brought this one up before but I was wondering what is this thing? Its on the edge of grapevine lake in Texas has seen in the link provided and Im pretty sure its a siren by the looks of it. I just cant tell what it is, I think it looks more like a very early generation Fedelcode or something like that. https://www.google.com/maps/place/3830- ... 97.0559966
