T-128s are one of my favorite sirens to hear in attack. Especially for the full cycle. Danville is one of the few local places where you can get a consistent, full cycle test…given that you choose the right siren. Some test shorter, and some do alert. I ended up at the one near the 4H fairgrounds. There’s plenty of places to park, and it’s still in a flyable area if you want to fly a drone.

The wind was crazy. It took forever just to stabilize the tight shot (why there's a delay) and I'm still not 100% satisfied with the result. I feel like I could’ve shot closer, but I like how the audio turned out. I placed recorders at varying distances and the reverb I captured is pretty insane like many T-128s. The narrow projection horn really bites when it faces your way. I usually leave one mic set to manual, level 35 on the Zoom recorder to be exact. It never changes, and I always keep it at that level on every siren. This recording is the first time I’ve ever had it peak. That’s how loud it was! But with that being said, it’s only loud for a snippet. It’s more of a quick crack of blaring sound, then it’s quiet. Super quiet. It sounds like it’s a mile away. Yeah I know…it’s a rotational siren and that’s sort of what they do. But it always seems more pronounced on the T-128. Either way, this thing sounds amazing, and I’m glad to have captured it.

Sirens in Hendricks County are tested every Friday at 11am. Tests are canceled if severe weather is expected or if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Occasionally around holidays they will cancel.

Enjoy, and as always comment, like, and subscribe for more. Thanks!
