Ok, I have heard so many different answers to this question I am about to ask about the video below. In this video which I believe takes place in Conway, Ar, there are of course are two different sirens sounding, one obviously is a T-bolt 1000T, the other I have heard three different answers now, (#1) 2001, (#2) T-bolt 1000-single tone, and (#3) A Whelen Vortex. Now is there anybody in here who lives in this area or knows 100% what the second sirens is? Here is the video below. :?

Ok, not 100% but I can't help myself. It has to be a Whelen cause it's not rotateing it's oscilateing. The siren gets louder more often than the T-Bolt.
Got to be an Whelen.
Q2B or not 2B that is the question.

One is obviously a dual tone T-bolt. The other I'm guessing is a single tone T-bolt. It's too low pitched for a 2001 which sounds a high F# or G. The single tone in the vid was more like a D, which probably rules out the Whelen vortex (unless, of course if Conway had a different frequency set for the vortex).
The whelen vortexes in Searcy sound a B flat (and B flat / E for hi-low).
Didn't someone say on this board, or the previous one that Conway had mainly Thunderbolts, single and dual-tone?

It's a combination of dual toned and single toned TBolts. I have a friend who lives there. That sounds nothing like a Whelen whatsoever so that's out.

thats what i thought. I just wanted to make sure i wasnt going nuts or deaf. That "mystery" siren tone sounds to good to be a 2001.

Dont feel bad man...I have been trying to guess what that damn siren was now for a while, besides it sounds like it could be one of those three sirens we were guessing they were. :o
