I bet you jackasses with your tin-can mufflers are going to start mounting these things on your cars. Because nothing says "I'm a big strong man who exerts his will on others to compensate for my lack of control in my financial, social and sex life" like being loud enough to wake the farking dead.

This link seems to get greenlighted about once per month. Is this some kind of automatic FARK submission thing??

/doesn't understand.

NYRBill		2006-04-24 12:56:51 PM

do I get to be the first one to say repeat?

animal900		2006-04-24 12:57:30 PM

It sounds like this:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWS!!!!

Take your pill today?

squidloe		2006-04-24 12:58:14 PM

The Icelander wins, thread over. Thank you all for turning out and playing.

wookie1		2006-04-24 12:58:48 PM

Not only is this a repost, it's FARKED!

squidloe		2006-04-24 12:59:27 PM

wookie1,

Check your browser, I just got in no problem.

I bet when the kids ducked and covered, they turned to each other and said, "you think that thing has a hemi?"

Jillifer		2006-04-24 12:59:49 PM

Icelander... and here I was wondering if they made a miniature version for my car.

Robo Beat		2006-04-24 01:00:02 PM

Well of course it might be loud, it's 138dB. That is, by definition, loud.

veale728		2006-04-24 01:00:02 PM

The Icelander

It might be so loud that it will blow the cars clear out of your way. Yeah, I'd buy one.

Heuer		2006-04-24 01:00:15 PM

it goes wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Maxwell_Smart		2006-04-24 01:00:30 PM

The loudness of this siren is unmatched by any other warning device ever sold, ever.

The posting of the article is redundant, as is the article itself. Asplode.

The Icelander		2006-04-24 01:01:08 PM

Maybe I'm just pissed off at you idiots who like "the cars that go boom" and "a nice exhaust note" but fail to realize that SOME OF US MIGHT WANT SOME farkING PEACE AND QUIET!

SoberIRL		2006-04-24 01:02:16 PM

Almost loud enough to stop the human heart. Cool!

As a studio guy, I'd very much like a sample of this, though most mics couldn't handle the load, and I can only imagine what sound pressure levels that things produces.

cretinbob		2006-04-24 01:02:36 PM

I want one

THX 1138		2006-04-24 01:02:54 PM

Sure, it's loud.

But does it repeatedly get greenlit?

/oh, it does?

wookie1		2006-04-24 01:03:11 PM

006-04-24 12:59:27 PM squidloe

wookie1,

Check your browser, I just got in no problem.

When I say FARKED, I mean it didn't come up immediately - cuz I'm impatient.

But a more pressing question is, How are you only getting 180HP out of a Hemi? It should be at least double that.

Mike_Bolton		2006-04-24 01:04:04 PM

it goes wooWOO!

ColonelFlagg		2006-04-24 01:04:11 PM

beefstick		2006-04-24 01:04:12 PM

But will it breakdown?

joesephbananas		2006-04-24 01:04:31 PM

- My buddy's car stereo is 150db

- The air raid siren has got nothin'

gradatim		2006-04-24 01:04:42 PM

I bet you jackasses with your tin-can mufflers are going to start mounting these things on your cars.

First thing I thought of. Some eunuch is going to install this in the bed of his pickup, or something, and then drive around and blow it at nearby cars whenever he feels the need to compensate for not having any testicles.

StinkyFiddlewinks		2006-04-24 01:06:51 PM

180hp? Is that it? My 4-banger makes more than that

Raider_dad		2006-04-24 01:07:05 PM

I won't be impressed till I hear it used during a live performance of War Pigs

wookie1		2006-04-24 01:07:46 PM

Your buddy:

A) is a moron
B) is producing sound in a confined area about 30 cubic feet, roughly, which is MUCH different than in open air
C) will hopefully never reproduce

Coolest repeat you'll see today: 138db Chrysler Air Raid Siren powered by 180HP V8 Hemi engine might be loud

/fixed that headline for ya Submitter

I SAID, "PETE AND REPEAT...!!!!"

Moose_Head		2006-04-24 01:08:32 PM

180 HP? Is there a squirrel stuck in the intake or something?

LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD...SHHH		2006-04-24 01:09:56 PM

Link farked now but I believe the diagram said 12 feet long? If so you better be driving a dump truck to install one of these.

SWGlassPit		2006-04-24 01:10:51 PM

joesephbananas

Yeah, but is it 150 dB at 100 feet? That's like 180 dB at 3 feet. Holy crap.

varithms		2006-04-24 01:11:34 PM

wookie1 "But a more pressing question is, How are you only getting 180HP out of a Hemi? It should be at least double that."

The HEMI Started out as a trackor engine. Was in a combine.

Is full of shiat.

Ersh		2006-04-24 01:13:35 PM

I would love to modify one of those sirens to play the Brown Note.

moerty		2006-04-24 01:14:24 PM

The Chrysler Air Raid Siren is so powerful that it can reportedly start fires with just the sound vibrations it produces. It can turn fog into rain, clearing the sky.

this thing just needs a beard and it's chuck norris.

joebell		2006-04-24 01:14:38 PM

The Icelander wins!!! go home now

kthxbye

Supercheeks		2006-04-24 01:15:46 PM

It may be loud, but with gas at $3 a gallon, it'll be short.

evolved		2006-04-24 01:15:58 PM

What, no Bubb Rubb??

// the whistle goes WOO WOO

"138 dB C-weighted is approximately equal to 30,000 Watts of sound power."

Ok... (copy/paste disabled... piss off)

"warning sirens today produce a sound level of 127 dB at 100 feet"

WOW!!!! A whole 11Db!!! That's a MAMMOTH increase!!1one

embo		2006-04-24 01:17:23 PM

WOO WOOOO!!!
