Here's another model being "tested":

That's right, listen to it with the headphones on - I'm such a dumb ass!

One of these used to sound about every 4-6 months when I was growing up in L.A. in the 70's. Never knew where it was located but man was that fucking thing loud. If the guy wants to take it apart to see how it works, more power to him, but I really don't see the use of buying something like this other than to be a complete dick to your neighbors.

I remember that sound.. I was a kid in Murrysville PA and every Saturday at noon it would go off as a test. .. I just Google mapped and at street view it is still there.

Oh the fun of the internet-- Thank you Al Gore for this great invention.

What an ass-hat =o/

I hope you're joking. He didn't invent the Internet.

LOL. I had my speakers off.

Apparently this is a Canadian CLM civil defense siren. Most have been taken down, some can still be seen on poles in Toronto. According to comments on Youtube, this may be the ONLY video of such a siren being activated under its own power.

No, I'm not joking, Back in the Day when Al Gore was VP he implied that he had a great deal to do with the invention of the internet. For real.

He only helped push the Internet (aka super information highway he kept using). He did NOT invent it.
