Wkboy714 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 As far as I know, two-tones have been around for ages and continue to be on most of the new sirens across the modern fleets. The one in your video is slightly unusual though as it sounds more electronic, like a German siren, which I've not heard in this country before.

Ghost Graphic Designs Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Whelens replaced by german-style two tones? POOP.I personally hate two-tones, but I gotta say: that one's really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomperson139 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've heard vehicles using that version of two tones (the one in the post above) near where I am. I'm not sure which service is using them as I haven't managed to see the vehicles using them, but I have heard them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theocd Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I live in Southampton (for the minute, at Uni) and I see that car a lot, and normally on blue light runs, I have never heard it use that tone before. As for liking it, not really - prefer other British sirens.Also notice as it passes the twin heavens of KFC opposite Sprinkles Gelato XD The OC-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
