Thunderbolt problem

[ThunderboltFreak]

Sounds weak= means that it does not sound normal and it is not running it's full sound output range.

Still not an answer that would lead to anyone not hearing the
siren in person to make any guess at all as to what could
be wrong with it. With a Thunderbolt that could be anything from
the chopper running without the blower to the
siren running with the blower, horn pointed away from listener
and horn not rotating. Either of those situations could be
described as "weak."
Again. Here's the question I asked at the beginning of this post
that was never answered...

What is your definition of "weak."
Half as loud, 3/4 as loud, 1/4 as loud?????

Thunderbolt sounds weak def. 2=when a certain siren( Thunderbolt ),still rotates, but sounds abnormal and does not sound its full output.

[ThunderboltFreak]

half as loud.

The Thunderbolt didn't even test today for the monthly test, the other sirens did though.

Good news the Thunderbolt sounded for a tornado warning.
I will get a recording of it so yall can hear it.

That's not the point. Why call? What will it accomplish? It is their job to maintain the siren- not someone in the public. Who cares why it sounds different anyway? Like I said, if you called my business after I repaired a siren and questioned me about it without proving you have something to do with the siren, you'd get hung up on quickly. I can't understand why someone would worry about this so much.

That's like if your town repainted their water tank a different color and you were just SOOOOO concerned about it. Who would care anyway? Why is it your business? It's not yours.

Besides, I can name 20 things that will change the sound.
I can assure you they did nothing with voltage dividing, speed control or air valve control.



Need a siren pic?

This guy sounds like a noob.

I know what you mean.

Was it full volume when it sounded for the tornado warning?

If it's half as loud and still sounds like the chopper is running
at the right speed and it's rotating then it can only be an air
volume problem. I don't know what could cause that much of a drop
in air volume to make the thing half as loud as it was before.
Maybe they took the relief valve off to oil it and didn't
put it back on? I can't imagine what it could be other than
that or the air pipe or hose left REALLY loose causing one
heck of an air leak or maybe some kind of restriction. No
way to tell without looking at the thing.
