We got permission from Amarillo National Bank to take this video. Big Thanks to them. KDK had an idea to see what the sirens sound like from up high. Dad called a friend that works there (Thank you so much Sharon) and she got it all taken care of. So out of school early and to downtown we went. The building has 16 floors then we climed up a ladder to the roof. Great View! Sorry about the wind noise but thats the Texas Panhandle. Sirens heard are: 3 2001's, 2-3 Cyclones, 1 Thunderbolt, 2 STL-10s and maybe more. Have no clue what we will do next.

I think this one is my ultimate favorite. The ambient sound....

@kdksiren Год назад

I think so too. Wish that 2001 wasn't so close behind us. But it is what it is. Now all of the old sirens are gone. Amarillo is covered by 2001's and 508's. Just not the same. Thanks for the comment!

@Snowcube 7 лет назад

the 2001 and cyclone have such a nice harmonic sound.

@zacharychristman171 2 года назад

2001-130, 2001 srn, ASC-cyclone, p10,thunderbolt, and STL-10

@TheEliminator1992 14 лет назад

Amarillo Texas has the best sounding warning system unlike any other. all perfect harmony

@IamSaralinka 13 лет назад

Beautiful...

Man this video gives me some very good memories, if I could hear this beautiful ambience again I would, can’t believe it’s been nearly 14 years time really files man.

It doesn't seem that long ago! Sad all the old sirens are now gone. Thanks for the comment!

@Blackie8898 13 лет назад

@kdksiren That does make sense. They are basically P-50s without the projector cone. We have one up near my house, and it's crazy loud.

@neosho53059 12 лет назад

@kdksiren thats what i like about them.... they are prepared for anything.... thanks!

@kdksiren 12 лет назад

Thats a good question! Been told by several that they don't but a check on the ASC website still show them. So really don't know.

@masonmccall6591 4 года назад

Amarillo has the best combination of sirens. I have experienced many of their tests!

@kdksiren 4 года назад

Well, I think it should be "had" the best combination. They are replacing all the old ones pretty quick. Only a couple of TBolts left. SD-10's are going along with the STL-10's. Cyclones are still up but seem to be scheduled for replacement in the next few yrs. 2T'22's are going as well. 2001's and 508's are the norm now. Actually the 508's are going up everywhere. Sad. But lots of videos to remember them though. Thanks!

@kdksiren 12 лет назад

@boeing63 They are very cool to watch. Bell Helicoptor builds them here so we see them quite a bit. After one is built, they fly it around for testing for several days before delivery to the military. Thanks!!

@coydog7902 6 лет назад

I love the roar of the ACA P-50's!

@kdksiren 6 лет назад

So do we. Wish there were some here too. The ones you hear are Cyclones.

@kdksiren 11 лет назад

If you are talking about the ones in town, yes. They are all still up and going. We have 2 at our house in the yard mounted on stands. They are a work in progress. A 1000T and 1003.

@biggulp2000 15 лет назад

great video, man I wish i couldve seen the V-22 too

@kdksiren 14 лет назад

Great! We will be looking for it.

@kdksiren 14 лет назад

No, it's not there. Really miss the sound of the old T-Bolt too!! That 2001 just doesn't sound like it belongs there. But, we were told that it was donated to another town (don't know which one) as they needed a siren. Glad to know that it will still be running.

@TheEliminator1992 12 лет назад

im listening to them outside right now and playing this along. lol

@kdksiren 12 лет назад

No problem. Thanks for asking first.

@patcatania8582 9 лет назад

Gotta love the Cyclone ambiance!

@kdksiren 14 лет назад

Hey Jae! It does sound single tone. Look at our video of the downtown T-bolt on the ground. This is that siren. At 20 sec. it says 1000 on the label, but at 55 sec. the top of the chopper head says 1000T. They may have changed heads or whatever, but I agree it sounds like a old 1000. It has since been sent to another city (who knows where) that was in need of a siren. We just based it off of the chopper embossing. Thanks!!!

@BellyJae 5 лет назад

Still watching this video in 2019. 😎

@kdksiren 5 лет назад

Hope all is going well your way! Always great hearing from you. We haven't posted anything in years. Just not alot left around here to vid. Thanks.

@kdksiren 13 лет назад

@4J25 They really are amazing birds! Not the best shot of it. They build them here and you can see them doing test flights sometimes before they are shipped off to the military. Thanks

@kdksiren 14 лет назад

The nearest 2T22 is near Westgate Mall on the western edge of the city. The wind was blowing from that direction, but it is really a long ways away. We have found only 2 here. There may be more though. Thanks!

@kdksiren 15 лет назад

There is a P-15 about 1 mile + behind us in the video. The 2001 that is close dictated that we go to the south side of the roof. That is probably what you are hearing. There is only one Banshee and it is several miles away.

@alarmguytwo 15 лет назад

Very nice vid.

@NewMadrid01 13 лет назад

Music to my ears :)

@kdksiren 15 лет назад

They are a common site here as they test them before they send them off. It just seems that I don't have the camera when there is one flying by. Really cool to watch.

@kdksiren 15 лет назад

All the remaining T-bolts are 1000T's. The only ones within ear shot are Cyclones, T-bolts, 2001's, and STL-10's. But there are alot of them.

@MisterTwister55 14 лет назад

Cyclones are still the best siren ever made by far. They sound totally different from a distance, too. Up close you could really hear the two tones. From a distance they are mixed together and kind of sound like a "metal trashcan". That's the first object that comes to mind when I hear one from a distance. At the end when it said the callsign and who they were, it said 21:00 hours. That's 9PM at night!

@kdksiren 11 лет назад

Agree! But not much we could do.

@carexpertandy 15 лет назад

Awesome video! Sounds scary there! The close 2001 being heard is the 130 in downtown you filmed, right?

@crazywarriorman 15 лет назад

Great video! There won't be another one like it soon!

@fmlislmfbackwards954 9 лет назад

11:30 on the last Friday morning of every month. You could set your clocks by this in Amarillo. I miss watching my dogs' howllalujiah chorus to these things. We can hardly hear the sirens where I live now. We have fewer tornadoes here, but they happen. I would feel better knowing a siren could clue me in somewhere since the local forecasts are a joke. It's a good thing I learned to storm spot while I lived in tornado alley.

@judehernandez6955 7 лет назад

FMLisLMF backwards in Amarillo, sirens test on the last Friday of the month, at 12:00pm.

@judehernandez6955 6 лет назад

oops, they actually test at 11:30, I learned that the hard way

@kdksiren 13 лет назад

@patmix You can hear many different sirens. Some High and some Low pitched. There are about 90 on the entire system. Many are in the outline county areas that are heavily populated. Not sure what you mean in the second question, but they are here due to severe storms that pass through. Tornados. They keep buying new ones as the city expands. You can check out all of the different ones on our home page. There are many different ones. Thanks!!!!

@kdksiren 12 лет назад

@Coasterintheyard It kinda seems that way but actually they all come on at the same time. Its just that they are a long ways off and it takes a while for the sound to reach the video point. Was really cool to hear. Just wish the wind wasn't blowing. Around here, its rare that the wind doesn't blow!

@ldbrown6641 5 лет назад

They need some here in Lubbock

@kdksiren 15 лет назад

Your right about the Texas Sky! You can really see forever. Best of luck at Tech. Maybe you can get a recording of the sirens around the college. What do you think? I have a cousin that will graduate there this year. We go down there every so often. Lubbock is a pretty good place to be, albeit no sirens in the city.

@kdksiren 14 лет назад

@CarnelProd666 It is also a 1000T. There are several still in operation here and they all seem to produce the same sound. Just that some turn different directions. Guess the rotator motor is wired different to cause that.

@M-SS2012 2 года назад

I miss the cyclones

@kdksiren 2 года назад

So do we! At least the vids are here to see and hear. Hereford still has theirs.

@superjoe87 14 лет назад

Man, all of these sirens together sound bone chilling like it's something out of "War of the Worlds" Also, is the Thunderbolt 1000 still on top of the courthouse?

@kdksiren 15 лет назад

Thanks Sharon! You should have gone up there with us. Great view of home. We are very blessed to live here and know such wonderful people! BK.

@sentry40V2T 14 лет назад

I actually managed to get a tour of the EMA office for Amarillo and I heard that they are updating Pantex's system. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be there but I am glad I got some good photos. I was debating about telling you but time was running out getting ready for the trip and I forgot, so maybe next time. By the way could you do another thunderbolt recording at a different location I would like to hear what they sound like up in Amarillo, thanks.

@kdksiren 15 лет назад

Those would be great! Jae is going to try to do Cinncinati maybe next month.

@Northerncalwolf 14 лет назад

Awesome Sirens,too bad about the heavy wind noise on the microphone!. =)

@sirenfan97 13 лет назад

At 3:00. We see planes all the time here in Wichita KS. Sometimes during storms you do not know if it is a siren or just a plane. lol

@DL1011 15 лет назад

Gotta love that Texas Sky!! I am finishing up college at Texas Tech beginning next semester, and I can't wait for the wide open spaces not found in Indiana. Excellent video!

@WilmothWarningsignal 13 лет назад

I just keep coming back to this video, and every time i hear those Cyclones wind up, i get chills constantly, lol. The 2001 kind of reminds me of one in my siren system, but im not sure which one it is, its like extremely low pitched that last time i heard it.

@kdksiren 11 лет назад

You are correct that they sound the same. However, Amarillo has no P-50's. But, wish they did!!

@ArieskidChristian 12 лет назад

OMG what a great vid nice work

@xaptus 10 лет назад

Sounds so beautiful. Those p-50' are like singing angels. The 2001s are like screaming angels.

@kdksiren 10 лет назад

Not P-50's. Cyclones. Same thing except the cyclone is horizontal omni directional and a P-50 rotor is vertical and directional with the very large horn. Both great sirens.

@xaptus 10 лет назад

Ahhh, Cyclones! They have the same choppers. I was wondering why they didn't sound like they were rotating. Sound so crisp.

@childishtombino1275 7 лет назад

Xaptus_4 Living Mice∞. Only the 120s have the exact same choppers but 125s do have the same ports

@judehernandez6955 7 лет назад

Xaptus_4 Living Mice∞. we have no p-50's. if we did we would have already replaced them with 508's

@xaptus 4 года назад

Jude Hernandez there should be more Cyclones and P-50s instead of everything getting replaced with FS 2001s

@sentry40V2T 14 лет назад

thx, good luck on your recording today.

@arizonajostens 13 лет назад

Siren Symphony. Hmmm... should have an album.

@kdksiren 13 лет назад

@Blackie8898 No P-50's here in Amarillo or on the system. We have looked big time too! The ones you hear are probably the cyclones. They sound the same as P-50's. We have searched most of the Texas Panhandle for one but there isn't one to be found.

@BellyJae 15 лет назад

I also hear a P-15 or Banshee here and there. Just a waft or so floating in the wind :)

@jackrabbit5155 6 лет назад

Sounds like every alternative rock 80's song.

@kdksiren 13 лет назад

@toiletsrock44 Yes. There is one about 2 blocks behind us. Its the one in the with the birds in it.

@kdksiren 14 лет назад

That would be a T-bolt 1000T that is a mile or more away, towards the right in the video. It's near a water tower on Western St and 6th. It's kinda hard to identify all the different ones heard up there.

@Csx2748 12 лет назад

Many sirens!

@kdksiren 12 лет назад

Wish that was true. But there are no P-50's or Allertors here. You can hear a Cyclone or two, T-bolt's and STL-10's. And of course a 2001-130.

@kdksiren 13 лет назад

@8534951 It was about 2 blocks behind us. That is why we stayed on the other side of the roof. It blocked out some of the sound, but not enough. Thanks!!

@kdksiren 11 лет назад

All the T-bolts we have heard here are 1000's.

@burnettchristopher45 11 лет назад

I was in texas just last month trying to find some cyclones and 2001s, but unfortunately i couldn't find them.

@kdksiren 13 лет назад

@SSAirsoftowns Wish you were right! There are no Allertors here. You may have heard a P-15. There are several of them here. Thanks!

@kdksiren 15 лет назад

No, the nearest Mod is out near the airport and that is about 6-7 miles away. And the mods here are not very loud.

@sentry40V2T 14 лет назад

I just recently took a trip through Amarillo and went siren spotting. Your street locations helped a lot. I saw cyclones 2001s the thunderbolt at I-27 and Georgia. And plenty of sd-10s. I then took a side road to originally see some of the windmills but then saw the pantex plant and a bunch of sirens in that area. I saw modulators and EOWS*612s in the pantex plant.

@kdksiren 14 лет назад

Thanks!! Living here, one learns to adapt to the wind. Climb that high and it just gets worse.

@form109 14 лет назад

Now this is what i call a Siren Symphony!...they all sound good together.

@kdksiren 12 лет назад

@lilaj34siren We wish there was a P-50 or 2 around here but nope. What you are hearing are Cyclones. There are several of them here. Probably a STL-10 also can be heard. Thanks!!

@DL1011 15 лет назад

Tech tests their sirens once a year in March. I will see if I can't get a video. Some communities, like Slaton, test weekly though, so I will be sure to get some videos of those. Lubbock still has a few Tbolts left, but you are right about them not being used.

@patmix 13 лет назад

we can hear diffrent low sounds it was all from the same siren or lot of others siren location ? how amarillo got siren in the city ? gr8 clip by the way

@ObamaTookMyCat 12 лет назад

the only problem is the thunderbolt is the hardest to hear.,.... i can only hear it for a millisecond then it goes away and is drowned out...

@kdksiren 14 лет назад

Best of luck in getting this siren!!!

@carexpertandy 15 лет назад

It sounds like the Thunderbolt we're hearing is a 1000T, and there might be a 9/12 port siren of some type being heard too.

@BellyJae 14 лет назад

@SuperK3nnyXD The dual tone sirens heard in this video is an ASC Cyclone. In parts a Thunderbolt can also be heard.

@AndrewWT5020 3 года назад

I need to get here to hear this in person before they replace all of their Cyclones. So peaceful sounding and harmonic.

@kdksiren 3 года назад

I think there is only one left. Everywhere we have looked have been replace with 508's. Time marches on. There are few of the old system left. No T-bolts. Few SD-10's and STL-10's.

How true. Most of the old ones are gone. Can only find one Cyclone left, few STL-10's and SD-10's. No more T-bolts either. Now mostly 2001's and 508's. And time marches on!

I think that all the remaining T-bolts are 1000T's. Check out our videos. The downtown thunderbolt is no longer there. But we took video of it on the ground and it is clearly a "T". Really do miss the sound of that siren. There are about 7 T-bolts left in town. They should do a test the last friday of this month. Hope to get something, weather permitting, and believe me, it hasn't been too permitting lately. Woke up to 2 degrees this morning!
