Common Names of Specific CA Hi-Lo?

[TDC]

"HI-LO AUDIBLE WARNING SOUND (CHP-R-2020-06207)" lists three specific approved Hi-Lo Evacuation tones, but by frequency and California name. Each has a 1 second cycle.
I would have thought that Whelen Carbide programming or the like would have this designated by now, but it doesn't.
The three are:
659-554 European Hi-Lo
932-740 USA Hi-Lo
1244-1046 California Hi-Lo

So, what are the Whelen names, let's say, for these tones? Like "Swiss Tone" or "DIN" ... I saw someone mention German Land tone, but I'm not sure if that is one of the approved ones or not.
Maybe someone can identify which ones are which with a frequency meter or something.

Just curious ... It hasn't rained here for 61 days so I might have to try out something like this soon.

I did some checking; I found several papers that mention vehicle tones from France, Germany, and Switzerland with the frequencies. None of them match these.
I looked on several web sites for sirens and horns. Some industrial sirens use these frequencies, but again none match the pairs.

I assume by the way the section is listed that these products are already in use ... like maybe the standard Federal Signal Hi Lo complies or something.

I have it and over 20 other HiLo tones in my Whelen Core. The CA tone (1244-1046Hz Cps California Hi-Lo) is called HiLo1244-1046. It is an option in the current Whelen Command program for supported devices. It sounds like you would think an evacuation tone would sound, less siren more late night TV Emergency Broadcast Network test.

Ah, Core; I see the others there, too. I update the Carbide almost every time I open it (because it asks me to), and these are not listed.
So I guess I can't be compliant unless I buy a whole new system? Not that I need to be, just thought all of the California folks moving here might notice, or maybe get homesick...

Cool, I will try manipulating some things, and not to get that 1244 if I can help it.

It's a waste of a tone spot on a siren, unless you are in CA and can only run two tones.
