After yesterday's fail at the growl test, I wanted to redeem myself so I decided to drive over to this Penetrator in Elk Grove. Things started off kinda rough, as I didn't know if NWCD will be testing for sure as there was a storm coming in. Luckily, it passed which meant they were gonna test! FSK dropped right at 10 on the dot, and this extremely loud, very painful, super punchy, chest rattling Penetrator screamed to life. It did get me worried a bit as it went off on the second set of FSK so at first I thought it was gonna be another fail but luckily that didn't happen. This also was by FAR one of the loudest sirens I've heard, as it was far louder than every Thunderbolt I've recorded (Yes, even louder than "Shakerbolt" aka the Thunderbolt which used to be behind fire station 7 in Glenview, IL). It also shook the ground and made me cover my ears even when I stood under it. Not even a 508 comes close to being that loud! This was also my very first time hearing a PN-20/RM-130. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Great shots of this rare and loud beast!
nice video bro! I love how the tones sound
Great video! Nice to fr actually meet after saying you would come lol. Nice to hear this guy in alert again after over a year up close
Fr. Glad I finally got my lazy ass up and drove over there myself
Saucy video! Im glad that you and Oliver had a good time.
Thanks man! I heard you had fun too
That kinda looks like an ASC RM-130. The shots are good and the audio is crisp. Great video as usual!
The PN-20 was made by ACA, the RM-130 is meant to look like it though
@@SirensOfWisconsin1679 Yeah it's kinda like the P-50 and the ASC T-135AC bs
@@GabrielCL2T22A correct
this is an RM-130. well...technically, in the late 90s ACA became ASC and they rebranded a lot of siren models with new names, the PN20 was one of them, it became the RM130. just like how the P50 became the T135AC
@@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirensdoesn’t mean that this is an rm-130, it was put on the pole as a PN-20
Awesome vid Tim! Does sound loud af. It kinda sounds like how a 2001 activates in the beginning.
Oh it was more than loud, and yeah it does kinda sound like a 2001 lol but it’s much louder. It almost peaks like a 2001 and yet it’s louder than the loudest Thunderbolt I’ve heard. Makes sense as it has one really well designed chopper, which is the same as the one in the Screamer S-5/S-2
Nice vid! I like the drone shots
Thanks Alex! Loved your video of the T-128 too!
Awesome vid!!!
I was always kinda blown away how these things pack a punch. I've only been to one (Rolling Meadows, the one closer to Harper) but it still out did the 2001s near it. The only ones I know of down here is near Decatur, and those a slowly getting replaced like Meadows & Schaumburg.
Sadly no test from me this month, I too busy being an animal in Pittsburgh rn.
Oh yeah. I’ve also heard other Penetrators, and this was by far the loudest (aside from the P-50 ofc). It’s a lot like a P-15 but about twice as loud as way more punchy. Less chest rattling tho as it is higher pitched but it’s still impressive for a high pitched siren like that to shake stuff. This also makes Thunderbolts seem like an XT22 in comparison. Now I also finally know how loud a 2001-130 should be and I can safely say, the 2001-130s aren’t anywhere near 130dB. ACA and ASC sure weren’t lying about these being around 130dB bc they’re SUPER loud
That rotates fast
