Originally Recorded 3/22/2016
As part of Indiana's Severe Weather Preparedness Week, a tornado drill was scheduled for Tuesday the 22nd at 10:15AM and 7:35PM. Many municipalities across the state participated by activating their outdoor warning systems while encouraging local schools and businesses to initiate their severe weather plans. During the evening activation, I decided to head on over to Bloomington, Indiana, to a Whelen WPS-2809 on the Criminal Justice Building. IU has six Whelens, a few of which are mounted on campus buildings. Monroe county, as a whole, has two systems. One is controlled by county, the other is controlled by the Indiana University Police Department. During the drills both systems are activated for the full cycle time, which in this case was five minutes. IU started first, with Monroe County activating theirs a few minutes later via FSK.
Parts of Interest
0:13 - DTMF Activation of IU's Whelens
1:34 - End of EAS Message
3:49 - FSK Activation of Bloomington's system (Monroe County)
5:16 - IU's Whelens reach full cycle, shut down (2001 ambience)
8:28 - FSK tones for Monroe County
8:53 - Bloomington's 2001s reach full cycle, shut down

you can hear the federal signals in the background.
That harmony is beautiful.
Y'all do a great job recording sirens!!!
The sirens harmonize so well I thought the whelen siren was dual toned
OOOOOOH, it harmonizes so well!! (IU's whelens)
The realism of this just sent chills down my spine💪
Thanks bro!! Been waiting on this video for some time!!! Very well done!!!
+Iceobelisk1 Thanks!
+DRSX100 where's this Whelen's location for google maps?
+Kieran Holdren It's on top of the Monroe County Jail in Bloomington.
thanks
amazing video heard tornado sirens all across Indiana awesome dude damn
i like whelen wps 2810s cause they look and sound awesome
Hey what do you say
they didn't set my sirens off that day!! and I was pretty pissed!!
Great vid! I can hear a tiny bit of carter siren in the background too lol
+CAL'S ENGINEERING Lol, I wish the states had Carter Sirens. It's actually a 465Hz Whelen pretty close by, but it provides a nice harmonic tone. IU's campus has very dense siren coverage containing both 560Hz and 465Hz Whelens, so it sounds like one giant Carter siren there lol.
I thought it was a rare dual toned whelen
0:47 "at this time, please review your tornado preparedness plans"

Nice. Irony the states that have the most tornadoes don't have drills. Wired.
WhammyP-50 You just answered your own question
@reverse thrust we have them here in Georgia, my county didn't have sirens before 1996, then an f2 tornado went through in 1995 Nobody was killed, but there were several injuries. The path of the tornado was very close to school. property. Not wanting to take the risk of having students killed in school by a tornado they ordered 5 2001-DC's to start, placed at the highest populated schools. They then started filling in the coveregae areas that had the most population in the county with 2001-SRN's (majority of system is SRN's). They then ordered 2001 SRNB's to fill. in gaps in coverage when the SRN went out of production, and eventually the last 5 sirens were 2001-130's, which completed the currnet system in 2007. They don't cover the entire county, since 50% is farm land with no houses for miles. 95% of the population however has siren coveregae.
What were the name of the sirens heard in the background?
This siren sounds like the siren where we live
i am aware some people are just kinda practicing or just know this is a test if this is not a test they have to take action.
now during a planned drill or test tornado warning, why is it the sirens sound immediately. but when it's not planned and a real warning issued there's a delay between the warning and the sirens sounding.
You already answered your question. "Unplanned."
What station was that during the test
That siren is cool :)
That EAS was from his Nissan Murano. I think that's a Nissan Murano. Also I love that siren noise.
Thanks for the comment! It's actually an Altima.
@@DSRX100 No problem! Also it looks like the Altima has the Murano rims to me.

You dont mind if I use this in a video game as a Siren sound? This sounds beautiful
Yea, no problem. Thanks for asking!
Ive watched this video at least 17 times already, just for the beautiful hormonic sound. This reminds me of the Carter sirens from when I used to live in England
+DSRX100 I think I hear a dual toner
What video game are you developing?
ROOF MOUNTED WHELEN WPS 2809??????
Is it a 2809 or 2709
This WPS Sounds like a Carter! What Hz does this siren run at?
It sounds like a Carter since there's a higher pitched Whelen harmonizing with it.
DSRX100 you have 2 Channel I subscribes both
My bad you have 1 sorry Dj2226 and DSRX100
Minnesota Warning Sirens It’s a distant 560Hz Whelen harmonizing with the 465Hz signal of this one. It makes it sound like a carter
Statewide drills are annual, right?
Quentin Richards Yes. Held once a year, usually in March or April
Thats cool i never seen a whelen wsp in a bilding

Do those Whelen sirens actually move air, or is it just a really loud speaker? I thought they were just speakers and not actually a rotary siren, although I think I can faintly hear the flow of air.
The hissing sound you hear is actually the screens vibrating. The 28XX series is notorious for this with its huge screens. Whelens are fully electronic, no mechanical parts are used to generate the sound. Hope this answers your question.
It did, thanks! Silly curiosity on my part!
What scanner do you use?
Uniden BC75XLT
Is this the one on the IU Memorial Union?
+Hunter Cullen (ilovepolice1) This one is on top of the criminal justice building.
What location was it
Any idea where the other sirens are located at IU? I have found the following:
This one
Student Union
Foster Hall
SR 46 and Milo B. Sampson Ln
2222 E. 10th St.
There is some indication that there is one at IUPD, but I've driven around there an not seen it.
+squiddy7863 Yeah, that one had confused me as well for the longest of time. I even drove by the place a few times. It turns out the location that's on their official map is marked wrong but I found it anyway on google maps. The siren is actually located more southeast. It's right along a parking lot near some frat/sorority houses. The parking lot is just South of the Delta Chi building. It's a 2805 and luckily street view is available on the lot. You'll see the siren hiding by the trees.
+DSRX100 you, sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you!
+squiddy7863 No problem, you're welcome.
Nice, 5 minutes
Hi 2810 if someone drinks tempest cola you will say hey what do you say from tornado siren Madness
whelen are the best
Sounds like a Carter siren
Hey I have a Whelen siren on my channel........... Where's Tippecanoe County? Is it in Ohio? I know of a Tippecanoe City Ohio. But they call it Tipp City now.
There's a Tippecanoe County, Indiana.
IM getting a tornado siren for my birthday
Kay Mitchell What kind?
Do you mean that its going to sound on your birthday or you getting a actual sized siren
omg I'm so jealous
What tornado siren did you got on your birthday?
That sounds like Alabama siren and tlusu Oklahoma
Hockey pucks confirmed
What made the DTMF tone and the FSK tone?
The DTMF was produced by a Whelen encoder set off by the dispatcher at IUPD. The FSK was produced by a different encoder probably at the county EMA if I had to guess or a countywide dispatch center.
@@DSRX100 I know this is late but, the console used to activate the whelens is an E-696, ive seen it before, about a year ago
DecaturDelaware,
EAS can rap!
It sounds like it's running on the esc 864 controller
nah
its late analog esc 864
@@grimatronicpl7163 no it is not its a 2020 or 2030 styled controller
@@SixThreeTech 2020 and 2030 would have New tone
