This is the monthly test of the Hamilton County Outdoor Warning Siren System. The siren I recorded today is the Thunderbolt 1000T on top of Calhoun Hall near the University of Cincinnati. Growl: 2:19; Alert: 4:48; Attack: 6:47. I only heard one other siren and it sounded like the Thunderbolt on top of the Ohio EPA which is on the other side of UC's Campus. This Thunderbolt is due to be replaced towards the end of this year (as well as all the other older sirens like this) due to Hamilton County upgrading their siren system. It will be sad to see these sirens go, but at least they are getting replaced by American Signal T-128's, and 2 I-Forces for the downtown area.

Very nice Nick! The attack timing on this one is spot on, and that lower pitch sounds epically spooky. I guess this also settles whether this siren is a 1000 or a 1000T lol.

@nickrusche 13 лет назад

@murrfarms Thanks! Many of the Thunderbolts in Hamilton County are not set right for the Attack Cycle. The Greenhills Thunderbolt I recorded a few Months ago (March I believe) is also set correctly.

@BoBroadnax 11 лет назад

Correction: As of February 2013; This T-Bolt 1000T, The T-Bolt 1000T on the EPA Building, and the T-128 on West Nixon Street are ALL in Service...making the First Wednesday at noon, a time that if you were on the University Campus you'd better cover your ears.

@BoBroadnax 11 лет назад

After September 2012, I saw Hamilton County EMA workers on top of the Calhoun Dormitory Building, the location of this siren, repairing it and putting it back to working condition, then I was in class on Wednesday, February 6, and they Did the Growl at 11:57 am, it was pretty loud even with the windows closed. When 12:00 hit, You could hear all three sirens.

@austinatkinson4344 5 лет назад

Fire Alarms & srens that’s really sad though. It was perfectly fine. It’s just a waste of a perfectly good siren that works much better than the newer ones.

@Sipex6484 4 года назад

@@austinatkinson4344 Nah. A 2001-130 can outshine a thunderbolt any day. Sometimes, you just gotta take off your nostalgia goggles and realize the downsides the older things have compared to the new. The thunderbolt is still totally a viable warning siren, but it's fairly complex and replacement parts are going to run out eventually since they don't make them anymore.

@SNIXC 3 года назад

@CentralOHSirens 3 года назад

@@trainsandsirensofilinmiwi2080 Hurricanes suck, 2T22’s aren’t loud, and replacing it with another thunderbolt would make no sense at all. 508’s, 2001’s and T-128’s according to decibel ratings are louder than Thunderbolts. So they’re very useful, I wish we still had thunderbolts and all the cool sirens everywhere, but for coverage sake, it’s only fair to use more modern sirens.

@joshmckinnley745 9 лет назад

The I-Force is a great siren for downtown areas because you want a siren that can be noticeably heard but not be so deafening and ear splitting like Tempest Sirens. There would be many people outdoors waking about downtown so they get good coverage while not scaring and hurting people's ears.

@murrfarms 13 лет назад

@nickrusche Yeah you're right, I loved how that one did the attack signal as well. Seems only a good handful of the ones in Hamilton County operate 100% correctly, be it the cycle/delay timing, or just the way they function in general (rotator, for example).

@VideoGuy84 12 лет назад

Wow, didn't even know there were people with an interest in sirens until about a day ago, guess anything can be a hobby. I remember these from my childhood, I didn't even know they were called anything other then tornado sirens until now. What brought me here is I remembered the unique look and sound these "thunderbolts" had and wondered if anyone else found them interesting...I guess my questions has been answered. :) Too bad my town has since replaced all of them with boring gray whatevers.

Some students did walk past me and said nothing.
