Federal Signal 508 Tornado Siren Test - Fairborn, Ohio - 9/1/2014 

I like how Ohio keeps the old sirens there when they replace them. It gives the state a little bit of history.

I remember when I was in 4rth grade at East Elementary school during the 70s and how the old Thunderbolt 1000T would sound off and we would have to "duck and cover" under our desks during these tests. During its start up it would have a neat kind of dual tone at the same time which had a unique sound to them till they got to full speed. i will never forget those days, we had so many tests especially after the Xenia tornados the year before. We would all pretend it was an air raid siren instead since it started up and slowed down for the attack mode like an air raid. Mr McDonald would really get after us to stop talking.

Very nice! I think T-128’s (at least the older ones) are louder and they rattle your chest when facing you. These ones (at least the 508’s I’ve heard) were also very loud but didn’t have that feeling to them, at least in my opinion.

That's a cool transition, from alert to attack 😱😱😱, amazing...! 👍🏻

Haha, this is less than a mile from where I live. Recorded a few ambiences of this and one in person, they really are very loud! Hopefully Monday I'll be able to set up a camera to catch an ambience of our local siren system while I'm back in school.

Do 508 sirens go right into Attack on their own (with no break), or is that how the city/county set it to work?

This is the sweetest siren ive heard for now.

tornado siren test sirens Ohio - 9 1 2014

2T22: can we go off together? 508: yes!

Is that a 2t22 or 3t22

This looks like Dover, OK. They have a 3T22 right next to a 508, I’m pretty sure the 3T22 is inactive since the 508 replaced it.

Nowadays Fairborn does 2 alerts each for one minute

3T22 ??

That 2t22 replacement gives me a huge dissapointment.

I wish they’d use the 2t22 as a backup 😢

Can someone please tell me what happened to the 2t22 after it was removed

nice! but why is there a siren behind it?

508: i sound like t-128 T-128: why did i sound like 508

Best 2t22 ever

um ohio? idk what going on there... its weird and strange

3T22: make me test 508: i'm wailing
