Originally Recorded 1/2/2021
Early in the year I met up with Chris (American Siren Productions) to record this unique, Whelen stereo-setup thing near the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant. We had a failure at Graves County so we booked it over here with few minutes to spare. The plant once enriched fuel for use in nuclear reactors. However, it's in the process of being decommissioned. This siren system's future is uncertain so we nabbed a recording before anything happens to it. I'm hoping the county takes it over since there's no county-owned sirens here.
You can find this siren duo on Ogden Landing Road. We're not sure why they opted setting up the sirens in a pair like this, but I'm guessing they just wanted something with a lot of range. During voice messages, only one of the sirens are programmed to sound. There are three other siren pairs on the outskirts of the plant while the plant itself has smaller Whelen omnis scattered about. Out of all the sirens in the system, this one is the only one that is easily accessible...at least for the time being. Security is pretty tight. I thought about getting the drone out, but after seeing what looked like security making rounds, I decided not to cause a scene. I was able to whip out a few wide shots with the phone, I just wish I was able to get aerials of this unique setup.
Sirens in McCracken County are tested on the first Saturday of the month at 1PM on mostly clear days with the exception of the diffusion plant which tests regardless of weather.
Enjoy, and as always comment, like, and subscribe for more. Thanks!

That white noise becomes extra noticable with two sirens next to each other.
Siren operates automatically. During operation, cover ears and leave the area
@lightbulb2023 I've always wondered how people can stand such loud sounds without earmuffs. Personally, I keep my earmuffs on pretty much the entire time unless I forgot them, or the siren is broken like a Thunderbolt without a blower. loud sounds give me a headache, and I don't want to lose my hearing, either.
Wow! Just to think that there is two active sirens right by each other!
Why though? I’ve seen a couple of videos where they’re only feet apart from each other
@@20021redturle Like the FS 508 and the EOWS 612 in Monroe, OH? (The EOWS is probably inactive by now)
Been waiting for this! Amazing stuff man
Awsome video! Interesting that they placed two same siren models in close proximity to each other. Love the announcement at the beginning of the test.
They’re both really loud too! Each of those cells has 400 watt speaker drivers in them. LOUD!
Oh wow the Czech government is here
I'm pretty sure the 2810's controller on the right was not programmed to have the announcement, leaving the left one's controller programmed with the announcement.
Amazing Video, Brandon!
this video reminds me of a dream I had, but instead of 2, it was 6 of them at literally the same distance as in this video
Whelen meeting
@@Doodlebugthegoldenhamster there talking about how noisy they can get
Oh yeah. Best video yet in my opinion
A totally awesome video!
The fact that this video is released on my birthday
I like the echoes of the voice!
Nice! Both of them sound healthy! They are best friends! 😎
Absolutely Great!
I love your videos
I’ve seen a similar setup, but with 2 different sirens. It was a WPS-2910 with a WS-2000 right next to it. This was in upstate CT btw.
Hopefully paducah will get control of these once the plant is decomissioned.and maybe relocate one of the 2 somewhere else for more coverage
Finally I always wanted to be out there when this happens
Considering that this is protecting a site with (still) a lot of radioactivity involved, I would imagine that perhaps the doubling up of the sirens is to provide backup? Like, if one fails, there's a chance that the other won't? It'd be interesting to see how much the coverage was changed with one vs two though.
maybe to double output? like say… a 2820?
@@kyezun 5620
@@Whyyoutubewhy.. hehe true
Speechless
How Did Whelen WPS 2810 Duplicate Itself
Were they both going off
Idk if having two of them right next to eachother would really do much for increasing coverage. Maybe if one of them was 560hz and the other different hz
I think potentially having a 560 Hz Whelen Next to one of these would make a really nice Dual tone siren
i have a military base with two 2903's in a similar set up where they are only at a distance of at most 500ft from each other
How cool!
A whelen 2810 and a Whelen WPS 2810?
Very interesting and nice
This reminds me of the Tempe town lake whelen setup
why are there 2 whelens
That is unreal to me cuz I’ve never seen to Whelens next to each other
Ah yes what a convenient place to put a siren
Nice!
Never burp beside a 2810 or else...
*HEY, WHAT DO YOU SAY?*
Siren: hey, what do you say
Why would you need two
Wow. Nice.
does alert just simply mean The danger is over like what all states do, But wail also means a meltdown alarm?
They never sound sirens to alert that the danger is over. When a siren sounds it is to let people outdoors know to get inside immediately, and to tune to your local news station or radio station covering your area for more info about danger in your area.
@@WilliamNealyMusic ah alright, thanks!
Sorry for not replying because i didn't notice your reply.
When money is absolutely no object and redundancy is all that matters:
Nah we got the new Whelen stereo system.
LIKE!
Why did standing 2 sirens so near?
That what I want to know
@@reneeboyd3058 probably backup, in case one breaks.
It's a backup if one fails.
Awesome I live in KY too
80,000 wats?
Whelen 2820. You're welcome ;)
Is this a waste of money or does it grant better coverage? Anyways, great video!
They have 2 in case one fails
@@warningsirensofmichio9660 I see.
Almost sounds like a sentry if you listen closely
Awesome!! If you want pls add me to your list in the discrpition of the super sirex video because I made one :)
If I’m correct 1 whelen is at least 100DB. Ask theses 2 together are 200DBs!
Sound doesn't work like that, you'd need 10 to double the decibel rating.
love the out of sync wind down
I did not know that the city I live in has 2 Whelen 2810s. I should find them and burp at them (jk).
And could I use the sound to make a vid
HEY WHAT DO YOU SAY
maybe one whelen is replacing the other old whelen
They are both sounding trust me
2 whelens
0:28 3:28
Why is there two of them?
Used to have them.. :(
Yep it is x2 Whelen 2810.
The siren is backup if one fails, : however, the entire system not replaced.
If tornado damage one siren then replaced with another one.
There are 4 2x Whelens 2810s on this plant (up to 130 db, trust me this both sounds)
@@Kinenmemes Omg you are smart! :D
Them screens are louder then the actual sirens combined.
Cool
Sweet
Why u don’t upload that much
um first off sirens only go off once a week or month second he has to edit his videos so dont be inpatient
This guy acts like everyone doesn't have a life, ignore him.
