Did a code 3 undercover that had two identical switches but one was momentary and one was not..... it mattered which one went where.

i just youtube'd the unitrol to see what it sounded like, and realized thats the secondary electric sirens we have on our rigs at the FD. I think they sound great. Except for one which was messed up and was brutal to listen to lol :lol:

The Unitrol 80K wail tone sounds like a woman or child screaming at the highest possible pitch a human voice can reach. It's a gut -wrenching bawling sound to say the least. :evil:


If there is any electronic siren tone I love to hate the most, it's that one.

A Galls used siren then I heard POP and that was the end of it. I got the guy a Whelen Duel Siren which he loves and will last him. The Galls Siren he had I dont believe was made by Carson.

The only Code 3 sirens with a decent wail tone are the V-CON and Mastercom series.


I remember the city fire department having three pumper trucks and two aerial ladder trucks with Code 3 sirens. On one of the pumpers, the siren was wearing out and played at a lower than normal pitch. It actually sounded neat with the lower pitched tones. :D


The Code 3 brand was the first I heard with the electronic air horn tone. That was back in 1980-1981.
