- This is a early omnidirectional electronic siren, the Whelen 2750 located in Dearborn, MI at Levagood Park. This siren was replaced in July of 2008 with a new Federal Signal 2001 and all of the Dearborn Whelens are being removed. This siren is Doing 8-12 port Hi/low for Snow Emergency. (aka Get your cars off the street, the plows are coming. It was sounded at 8pm and cars need to be gone by the time they sound it at 8 am.)RIP Mayor Guido, we love our snow siren, lol (mislabeled 2740 on clip)
This is the most beautiful hi-lo ive ever heard from a whelen! I wish there were more of these whelens around that have hi-lo sounding just like this one. I really miss this whelen...
I really like it as well
No look like analog siren
It has been almost 12 years since this was uploaded and this siren was removed. I love the Hi-Low tone on this particular Whelen, and I really think they should offer this version of the Hi-Low tone again for their current sirens. That would be amazing.
They still do technically. The hi lo on the ESC-864 controller sounds a lot like this. I’m pretty sure that it is actually using the same controller.
@@MasenMonster Yeah. But sadly Whelen discontinued the 864. The hi lo on the new 2030 sounds very different. I don't mind it, but it's not as good as this version is.
@@MasenMonster yeah it was only heard on analog 864 controllers
Thank you for that reasoning! I am the Outdoor Warning Siren Coordinator for my county and am always interested in other's policies.
may this welen rest in peace :/ stupid 2001s
I WAS TRYING TO FIND THIS FOOTAGE FOR SO LONG AND I FINALLY FOUND IT
i like this sound card better than new card sound
This is actually an 8/10 port high low and it sounds nice, but the newer ones are slowed down for a reason. Because of reverberation, it can be hard to tell from a far distance that these are doing high low cause they alternate too fast.
Funny, there's still a 2750 in Eastpointe still kicking
All of the 2750s have been decommissioned. Some are still standing, but definetly not in use, sadly.
This siren has I think an ESC-864 controller!
I like this Hi-Lo tone more than the newer Whelen sirens.
Now its been officially 2 years since this siren sounded off in this vid.
Its been more than 13 years since that whelen sounded in this video
@@dank980 i HATE that these were replaced, this is actually my only reason for hating 2001s
@@FATTIEASMR Undertandable reason, but I would honestly hate on the people that wanted the Whelens replaced. 2001's are actually pretty neat sirens!
@@xXSo1arGamingXx they’re neat sirens but they are quite literally the toyota corolla of the siren universe.
Hi neighbor!
From Dearborn Heights.
Dang. That is a very rare port ratio!
This is pretty much what a 4/5 Port thunderbolt on chopper level 4 would sound like if it were operating in Hi-Lo
@@xXSo1arGamingXx cool.
@@MasenMonster very rare indeed!
@@xXSo1arGamingXx
Got a video of it!?
@@MinecraftPro97k no
Now it has been officially a full year since that good old Whelen has sounded that exact day.
Wow! I wasn’t even born in the early 2008 💀
15 years later
@crabsnpubes i meant what i said this one is now a 2001! :(
i live in dearborn and my friends left ear went deaf because of this
As much as I love 2001s, they really should've left these damn Whelens there instead of replacing them.
snow fall snow fall snow fall snow fall snow fall
Lol I like the snow covered 2750!
imagine if a 2011 could do hilow. now theres a big headache lol
Get off this page matt
I like that cool sounds like a clown police siren
They should replace the 2001 with a new WPS 2910
They should've kept those sirens, or gotten new whelens.

I agree, I miss hearing all the whoop whoops on the 1st Saturday
And I do miss there old system at least goetz parks 2750 is still there but with ultra voice controllers
I agree, especially since 2001s can do only 3 signals and Whelens can do 7
Hey Mike this is not a 2740. Its actually a 2750. Look at how many of the driver cells it has. It has 5 so that means its a 2750. Not a 2740. Not trying to be offensive just correcting. I am going to miss this good old siren after it gets taken down.
When was that Whelen WPS 2750 installed
It was installed in 1989, but was replaced by a 2001-130 later in 2008.
@@MinecraftPro97k how do you know it was installed on that day (just wondering)
That's because Whelen WPS-2700 Series are exactly the same as a Whelen WPS-3016 except Omni Directional.
I'll never understand why they went ahead and replaced them instead of installing UltraVoice panels on their sirens. They could have continued to use whoop and hilo and still would have had the 360 coverage from these omni sirens. If they needed more coverage they could have just added some Modulators or Eclipse 8s at that point. Better yet they could have gone with Whelen and added some 2900s in and upgrade the existing sirens and replace blown drivers; WPS-2760s are just as good as 2906s with new drivers and a new panel... They ended up adding Mod IIs into their system earlier...
Okay... Wayne County doesn't have the 2001 viruse completely... few..
Hey, atleast Wayne, MI Still has their Whelens.
Wow I didn't know that it was used to tell people to move their cars. That is interesting.
Really??
Btw I’m sorry for replying 15 years later 💀
What's that metal cabinet on the siren poll for? Is that a control box or something?
Battery and control box.
Sounds like a gigantic Italian ambulance.
Gigantic Alarm Clock
Yes.
What pisses me off is the fact that this lovely sounding siren was replaced with an FS 2001 (the siren that I hate because of its extremely loud high pitched eardrum killing sound)
This siren is under private ownership now though.
@@Sipex6484 Wait, really??
@@xXSo1arGamingXx im pretty sure, yeah.

Sounds like a British fire engine
European tourists would maybe think, "Why in the name of god is there a giant police siren on a pole?" .
Indonesian tourists: What’s that giant railroad crossing siren doing on a pole?
The frequency of the Hi Lo isn't 800/1000. It's 864hz/1100hz
It's actually around 430/540hz
I think it’s going off
What park is it
i remember that we got 1 1/2 ft of snow in norther macomb
This siren has been replaced 5 months ago. :(
how long do these run for in HILO mode
Approximately 3 minutes
love hiio
amazing
at 41 was that the plow?
Why does it sound like it has the new UV controller?

@@mcdonnelldouglasmd-1184 Analog Whelen ESC-864.
no, towed at owners expense, no tickets issued
Sounds like a 6/5 / 10/12 hi lo not 8/12
8/12 is a whelen hi lo isn't it?
This one is older
YES!
Welcome to Paris! xD
this is Dearborn not Paris
If it's 8PM, why is it still light out?
He was actually meaning in the description that on Dec 31st, 2007, this siren including all the others in Dearborn were sounding off at 8PM to warn people that a snow emergency is in effect. This video was taken January 1st, 2008 at 8AM which of course is gonna have some bit of lighting outside. When Dearborn uses their sirens to sound off for snow emergencies, they usually sound it off more then once.
Snow emergency siren?
Yes it was.
The siren was replaced with a 2001 today
This signal tecnically says get youre cars off the streets or you will be towed or get a ticket
This would be very creepy to hear while lying in bed late at night (O.O)
It doesn't scare me, the wail tone actually scares me
Honestly I could fall asleep to this if it were far away.
RIP
@SpeakerFreak95 they either scrap them or put them up for sale.
my whelen has the fin on the back its on my channel sib for more I will be rec a thunderbolt next
Why would you sound a siren for snow..?
U get a ticket if. don't move or car?!?!
If you don't move your car.
me: (hears whelen doing hi lo) *gets up* HMMMMMMM i see no fire... of yes i forgot its 12:00
whelen: just randomly stops
me: WHELEN SIREN=BROKEN
is it painted white? if so, interesting. i forgot to favorite this b4 and i'm glad i found it. the siren freaks me out with the look of the place. and for some reason i like that.
It WAS covered in frost. I say was, because this siren had been replaced with a Federal Signal 2001.
Really? It's snow man.
Why do they test them at 8 am?
john seeger That wasn't a test.
they don't test, this is a snow emergency.
That is snow that clung to the siren.
yes it can
True I don't...but am interested in the reasoning.
It that siren are replaced other siren
This is cute
Me : screams siren
sounds alot like a 3016
Nice ws-2000 controller if it is
This uses an ESC-864
@@Sipex6484ESC-864 hilo doesnt sound like this
@@Sipex6484and esc-864 hilo is a bit slow
i live 4 blocks away
what if that's the only place they can put there cars? well, i guess it's better than having them completely snowed in. i hate that. but neighborhood streets are always the last to get plowed here, so.
Why does this look like video footage from before color was made?
Because there's snow on everything....you really are nuts huh
@@flaw885 Thanks captain obvious
It's terrible i don't Like the Sound of modern Sirene i Love the Sound of old sirens
This IS a old siren, Most whelens dont sound like this
This thing is completely analog, There are very little of these things around.
but their tone's sound way better than todays, Today's hi lo is, Well... Terrible!
dearborn has the worst sirens they replaced this siren
It has now been officially 3 years since that sounded off.
