Sterling Siren Model M Fire Siren Noon Whistle 08/17/24
Recorded from Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
Audio Recording

Interesting day, my friend invited me to come with him to do some shopping in Niagara Region so I thought to myself why dont I try to attempt Youngstown's noon whistle? so I went there for 15 minutes before noon or so and walked the trail to a bench and setup shop and 11:57 AM or so came around and in the distance I hear the nice sounding 8/16 Port Sterling wind up. I originally wanted to come here when they do Thursday night fire siren testing for the whole County but I guess they stopped doing that.

Whelen Engineering WPS-2805 Emergency Siren Test 04/20/24
Audio Recording

Note: the unit I was at on Coronation Drive stopped working during the whoop signal for some reason, but it fully worked for the alert signal. During the alert signal, both sirens produced a dual-tone-like sound because the other Whelen has a higher-pitched tone. Both sirens are tested in a 2-minute whoop signal, followed by a 5-minute silence, and then a 1-minute alert for an all-clear signal. I reduced the waiting time for the 5-minute silence so it will go on to the alert signal instead of waiting the full 5 minutes on the audio recording.

Note:
This siren's rotator was broken, so the siren was facing the audio recorder the whole time so you could hear it pretty well during the test.
