  • This is a recording of Purdue University's old siren system. I believe I recorded it for the statewide drill back around 2008. I thought it was gone forever after CZcams deleted my old account but thanks to the magic of backups, I found this video on my external hard drive! Unfortunately, all of these sirens have been replaced with newer Federal sirens. The most prominent Thunderbolt that is heard was replaced with at 2001-130 back in 2010-ish. The xT22's were replaced with Eclipse 8's a few years later ( • Federal Signal: Eclips... ). The new system is much more reliable and battery-backed and will last for years to come, but nothing will replace the sound of the old system. Thankfully, the old system will live on via digital video on CZcams.

    Can't beat older sirens they just have that edge and that fierce growl/ambience that modern electronic ones just can't compete with 👌

    • @squiddy7863

      No siren in the bell tower. And those aren't even real bells! There are speakers in the bells.

    • @MidwestCWS
      @MidwestCWS Před 6 lety +5

      Actually they are real bells, they are the ones from the old Heavilon Hall. There are speakers in there as well to do the nightly music and they say "to assist in campus emergencies". I thought the bells were fake too based upon the myth that they are, but after research I discovered that they're real, and you can actually see the clapper move and strike the bell.
      Also love the video about the old system! Now it's all Eclipse 8's and a few 2001s... no more Thunderbolts. The last Thunderbolt in West Laf was just removed in August 2016; the building it was on was demolished. They put a 2001-130 in its place.
      EDIT: Just saw your video about the new system after I posted the comment. Oops!

      You know, unfortunately I don't and I don't know why. I think I was more interested in system recordings back in college when I lived up there so I was always getting those. I wish I would have recorded each of them since they're now gone. Travis Tilley has one (czcams.com/video/LTMF8sJZFpM/video.html) and some additional ambiance recordings on his channel from years ago.
