- Fast Wail starts at 2:04. Voice starts at 6:05.
We have heard many 3016s over the years, but have never heard one actually running on a Whelen controller, so we thought we'd venture up to Vernon Hills for the first Tuesday to hear this one. Siren is located at Oakwood Park, and is the only 3016 they have. There are also 2 4004s and a 2806 in town, all of which have use a different guy for the voice recording. At the beginning, Mundelein's 4004s can be heard doing alert, as well as some distant 2001s from Buffalo Grove and Lincolnshire. - Věda a technologie
I love the echoes so much!
Loving that voice message
Nice! I feel like the older style Whelen voice carries farther than the newer style voice; the voice on this unit is definitely older. The Whelens up here in Wadsworth are audible in voice 5 miles away on a good weather day with minimal wind; I have heard them that far away before. For how quiet these things are, the distance they can carry always amazes me.
Too bad they replaced it
Not true at all. I live 5 miles from the new Hartmann park 4004 and I can clearly hear the voice from it, even when it points away I can make out what it says

Sounds awesome!
Sounds like you can hear Mundelein's STL-10 as well.
I think it is definitely active. I heard it at the Mundelein 3016 that failed on me.
@@dinkindane Why are you talking to yourself? :/
@@uhAverage ??
@@dinkindane Lol you’re going to delete it
@@uhAverage I did
At 3:00, when the Siren has turned to me, it make a sound so much high that my ossicles has broken into pieces
It hurts my ears and i cannot hear now.
First time? I hear these every week.
I hear an STL-10 too!
welp, I know where I'm going this summer!
It’s been replaced as of now
Sounds amazing! Very healthy! Awesome video!
Too bad it got replaced. Now that I think about, it was almost as loud as the 4004 that replaced it
Oddly relaxing
Those Whelens doing Alert in the beginning aren't Mundelein's. Mundelein's WPS-4004s are on the same system as this WPS-3000. Vernon Hills police controls the Vernon Hills siren system in conjunction with Countryside Fire District, and the system is actually a very big one spanning over Vernon Hills, Mundelein, the outskirts of Libertyville, and the majority of the Countryside Fire District service area. The Countryside Fire District's system (i.e. the stray 4004s around Mundelein, Libertyville, etc) are linked to Vernon Hills' system, they just use a different voice message. That wasn't always the case, however. The individual municipalities used to control their own sirens, until Countryside Fire District consolidated and got handed the responsibility of activating various WPS-4004s around Cuba Twp., Barrington, and Round Lake. Now, there's a TON of DTMF chatter over the frequency, activating all these different systems connected to one frequency. Super complicated if you ask me.
I always wondered why they send out multiple sets of Whelen DTMF before voice. That explains it. Although mundelein is it’s own system. They activated way before the 3016 and no tones went through Noie’s scanner to activate them
That’s the attack tone
It is really fast wail. Don’t listen to what Whelen says
Attack is fast wail. Why do you not get it?
@@Mr.Speedcat that is Whelen says. Just because they say it is doesn’t mean it is so yeah. Attack and fast wail are different things. Fast wail is meant for fire, and attack is for immediate emergencies. Please get your facts straight
@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL Ok? Attack is for old sirens but that doesn’t mean fast wail is not attack for whelen. Whelen decided to name it that tone, now don’t be trying to brain wash me if your trying to.
@@Mr.Speedcat oooh (slow roast respond)
We can hear a Thunderbolt 1000T and a Siren like a 3T22 turning on in the background at 1:35.
I don’t believe there are thunderbolts or 3t22s in that area..
You hear the Whelens in long grove, mundelein, and Vernon Hills
The only old CD siren you hear is an STL-10 in Mundelein
Cool Whelen siren.
0:07 whelen wps 4004 ambience
does this have a digital ESC_864? sounds like it
Yes
Unfortunately this is the only 3016 working in the area I think. There's a 3016 in Mundelein which is broken (failed on me last November) and I believe the remaining 3016 in Libertyville is broken as well. And I think there's four 4004's belonging to Vernon Hills if I'm not wrong, along with the 2806. The 4004's within the Countryside Fire protection district do fast wail as well. I think they are on the same system as this one, those just use a different voice message.
There's two 3000s in Bedford Park, IL that are still operational.
the last 3016 ;-;
Vernon Hills has 4 4004s (one being the older style from the 80s and 90s) and a 2806
ESC-864! Nice
Can someone explain what the fast wail signal is used for?
6:05 that’s the same voice the 4004s use in Norridge IL
You are rigth
What could be fast wail used for?
Swift Imminent Danger
Why don't Whelens rotate 360 degrees?
Oh
Because they don't have collector rings (they allow them to rotate over 360 degrees without breaking its wires)
Why doesn't Whelen put collector rings in their sirens?
To save money
@@caek2 wish they did put collector rings in their sirens
@@gunnerjohnson2840 They work just fine without them.
Their first rotational sirens like the 2000r had collector rings
at one point a speaker-looking one had, or maybe something else
ITS NOT AT OAKWOOD PARK!!! THATS JUST THE NAME OF THE STREET IT IS ON. it’s at HARTMAN park
WHY ARE YOU YELLING
IDK
@@WarningSirensOfMichiana I’ve seen quite a bit of your videos and they’re awesome!! I was wondering if I can use them for a siren compilation I’m making

2:06 Afghan EAS
