So I finally got around to filming this awesome Super-Sirex. Recording this has been on my bucket list for years. I've made a few attempts but I always got up too late to get there on time. Its unique 7/10 port ratio is shrill and unmistakably loud and I'm glad I got to hear it in person. Even from the distance I recorded it from, it still packed a punch even when rotated away. The sound dispersion kind of reminds me of an omni. There is some noticeable difference in volume when the siren is rotated towards you, but less so than more modern rotating sirens. I'd equate it to a Thunderbeam.

Either way, I'm glad to have finally heard this in person. Even though there's probably a million videos of it, if you live even a few hours away, it's definitely worth the trip just for the experience alone. I hope this siren continues to stay in service for years to come.

Sirens in Butler County are tested the first Wednesday of the month at 12 Noon. You can find this siren at Hamilton's old city hall nearby the river on High Street.

Enjoy, and as always comment, like, and subscribe for more. Thanks!
