- Location: near Resco Drive and railroad tracks
System: Sandusky County/Clyde
Testing time: First Saturday of every month at noon
Testing time: 12:01:08 PM (1 minute late)
Cycle when tested: Full alert and/or attack
Cameras used: Canon PowerShot SX540HS (main shot & audio), Canon PowerShot SX620HS (damper shot)
Recording distance from siren: 165 feet (tight shot), 25 feet (damper shot)
Loudness: Very loud when the dampers are open - 119.4 dBC
Other enthusiasts present: Connor (@Thunderbolt1000Tfan ), Aaron (@OhioOutdoorWarningSirens )
Other notes: After the Jackson Park 'bolt, we went to Clyde to hear this infamous 3T22 in person. Most of you probably already know what the deal is with this thing, but for those that don't, the dampers are wired to shut whenever power is applied to the chopper motor. It's not very loud when the dampers are shut, but when they open it gets a lot louder. This month, Clyde did attack but no alert, just like in August of last year. I don't think the cameras picked it up very well, but this thing put out AWESOME echoes! Unfortunately, the batteries fell out of my decibel meter, and I didn't realize it until about a minute before the test, so I was unable to get a decibel reading from this one. Connor still got readings from his meter though; it read 105.1 dBC from where he and Aaron were set up (around 150-200 feet away), and maxed at 119.4 from right underneath, both with the dampers open. It was particularly loud from underneath when the dampers were open, we could all really feel it rattling our bodies. I've been wanting to go to this for some time now because I wanted to hear it in person and I also wanted to get a shot where you can see the dampers close and open. To my knowledge, only one other video of this has a shot of the damper, and even that only shows the damper opening after the alert cycle. I used my 620 for the damper shot, so there is no wide shot in this video. Anyways, this was a super cool experience to hear up close, and I'm very glad that I finally got to hear this in person and that I was able to get a successful damper shot during the full duration of the test. Enjoy!

can’t believe I never saw this video until now, THIS IS AMAZING
If this was a 1003. *complete silence, only blower*.
Yes, 1003 solenoids block the complete air output so the chopper has no air to move.
Sounds amazing with dampers shot
In my honest opinion, attack cycles with a curved peak rather than a flat peak sounds way more terrifying for a 2/3t22
**uses stop lights and opens front doors**
@TheMagicSchoolBusV2 Oh hey there furry bus!
@@TheMagicSchoolBusV2 *I step into the bus and prepare for some magical adventures for the sake of fun*
@@GokantheHusky **shuts front doors, turns off the stop lights, and unapplies the parking brakes after you board the bus**
I think the chopper is spinning way too fast, thats why its high pitch
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's because there's no air getting to them when it's winding up.
@@HSETMYou are correct, the dampers shut when the motor is powered, causing no air to get into the siren when it’s running making it sound funky
@@MonkeyFilmProductions I actually think it sounds pretty cool.
@@HSETM Me too
Nice video! That damper shot turned out amazing
I lived in Ohio for awhile, and a neighboring county used these to call volunteer firefighters in an emergency.
"We would like input from the citizens of Utica about our "Fire Whistle" more commonly referred to as the "fire siren" in our little village. This siren can also serve a dual purpose and alert residents that a tornado warning has been issued. The siren used to be the only form of alert that the fire department was needed, followed by phone communicated. These days we have greatly upgraded and each member has a radio and/or pager along with a mobile text to alert member that they are needed to respond. Over the past few years we have received complaints that hearing the siren blow for fire department calls has become a nuisance. How ever once in a while the siren does get blown for fire calls and people remark how they like hearing it, stating that it is part of Utica's history, or people hear it and say a prayer for our safety. This will not affect the sirens usage during a severe weather emergency"
I was a little eerie hearing it go off at random times 🤣
Awesome video! The echoes on this thing are crazy in person
is the solenoids connected to the siren motor or its just coded like this?
They're wired in a way that makes them shut whenever power is applied to the chopper motor.
I'm surprised it still does this to this day to be honest.
You shouldn't be. If it's been like this for years and the other XT's were like this, no chance they'll fix it
@@CentralOHSirens Sadly that's very true.
I'm convinced they're just gonna let this and the other 3T22 run until they die since there are other sirens nearby, their coverage would be perfectly fine without them.
It sounds like a graduation Bell and it also sounds like a church bell and lastly but not at least it sounds like a wedding bell😂😅🤣
It's one of my favourite sirens
Incredible!
How effective are the dampers? I honestly would've expected the siren to basically go almost completely silent with the dampers shut, but it didn't.
I think the dampers are what allow the siren to do hi-lo and pulse.
@@buckeyenotifications exactly
@@RockProductionsYT *solenoids* But They can be called that because it shuts half of the chopper
what its true
@@RockProductionsYT ????
Haven’t seen videos of this in a few years
I like how almost nobody is talking about it sounding muffled and higher pitched! The reason why is because less air intake means less air resistence then it means chopper spins faster! Which is better
No shit Sherlock
@@kansasclocksandsirens Can you make it spin faster? Gotta change it to 480v
@@Engineer_Anton This is single phase. You put 480 across it and it'll blow up
@@kansasclocksandsirens 240 has to be it! Most Sirens go up to 240! Only seen some 3 phase sirens like the Sentry 40v2t that can be used up at 480
@@Engineer_Anton Yeah. 240 is what this is rated for. More powerful 3 phase sirens are able to be run on 480
Why do the dampers shut?
If the siren blaring on attack the dampers should get opened & closed for allowing the siren to blare in attack.
Is it trying to do pulse?
ngl, good call getting that damper shot.
0:05 This is watchtower passcode accepted, beginning launch sequence
Whoever wired that thing should be fired. I hope it gets fixed soon.
This think will likely never get fixed😂
Is that the killer high pitch one?
Only in Ohio do 3T22 sirens scream at you
Bro the Ohio joke is dead now💀😭
Сирена напоминает сирену скорой помощи 1:54
Sounds like eows-612

It's a klaxon cs8 on stareroids
