Not solved, I guess. 10 minutes ago I just got my first British siren audible alert since I reapplied thermal paste to my heatsink/CPU. At this point, I'm not sure. I have read that others in this forum have my same board (Supermicro X8SIL-F) enabled the jumper to silence audibles. But that doesn't seem ideal.
First off, I finished pre-clearing two 4TB drives using the Preclear plug-in. During that time, I heard a total of 6 siren sounds, lasting 6-8 seconds. The CPU, as I mentioned in my first post, was average loading between 30-50% with two drives. The OS (unRAID) was showing CPU temps in the low 30's C and motherboard temp in the mid 30"s. There are several options
After reading PWM's posts in this thread and some searching on the Internet, I have come to the conclusion that the siren sound is likely a momentary high temp reading. So, I rebooted into MemTest86 and ran it in both default mode and CPU multi-thread mode. I was seeing CPU temps in the 45-50 C range for the default mode; and for the multi-thread mode the CPU was ranging between 52-59 C.
If anyone is having problems where the siren doesn't toggle even after rebooting the Base Station, pease contact the Support Team to further investigate this issue. You will find several options for contacting support in the provided link.
I have a great sensitivity to noise and use earplugs etc for sleep and have fans going, but unfortunately due to various limitations including finances, I need to stay where I am at present, which is next to both a police and fire station. It really is unbearable. I don't much mind the police sirens, like yelping ones, especially during the day, but do hate the "wail" ones used by firetrucks and ambulances at night, so those are the primary ones.
It can be quite effective as your ear gets used to continuous sounds, but you may well find that the siren still cuts through. That is what a siren is designed to do: cut through the noise of traffic.
Noise cancellation headphones work by first blocking as much of the sound physically as possible, and then adding a phase reversed version of the sound into your ear so the phases cancel out. This works well, but only with headphones - you can't easily cancel sounds coming into a room.
Varietywise I don't know that siren sounds are in the same league as ice cream flavors, or, for that matter, the olive department at Whole Foods, but there are more than there used to be. Two are reliably found in just about all U.S. emergency vehicles: 1. the wail, the traditional Dragnet-type siren, whose pitch in olden days rose and fell with the vehicle's speed; and 2. the yelp, whose pitch rapidly alternates, reflecting the frantic pace of modern life. Other common sounds include 3. the European-style high-low or two-tone siren, which nowadays is often interspersed with whoops and other noises; 4. what's sometimes called the "phaser" siren, which does sound a bit like something you'd use to take out the Klingons; and 5. the braying "air horn" (actually an electronic reproduction of an air horn), admittedly not a siren in the strictest sense, for when you can't get the attention of space cases at intersections any other way.
Siren use policy varies. Some jurisdictions, such as Hawaii and California, limit the permissible siren sounds to the wail and yelp; Hawaii further specifies that the wail is to be used by police for routine emergencies with the yelp reserved for traffic offenders oblivious to everything else. More commonly, though, the idea is to mix up the sounds. Partly, as you suggest, that's to get drivers' attention, which is more of a challenge than it used to be what with car stereos, ubiquitous air conditioning (and rolled-up windows), yammering GPS units, iPods, cellphones, and so on. Emergency drivers will often cycle through the siren types if civilians don't move out of the way immediately.
That raises a key question. Do sirens do what they're supposed to do, namely get non-emergency traffic out of the way without getting people hurt or killed in the process? A lot of experts think they don't.
So which of these marginally effective siren sounds is best? Good luck getting a straight answer. The International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors says the most audible and localizable sounds are very high or very low frequencies, with low preferred, because high can be irritating. (Although I have to think a gut-buzzing low vibration could be plenty disconcerting.) Moreover, a complex sound is easier to hear over background noise than a single tone. Beyond that, the experts are pretty useless. A 1991 review in Annals of Emergency Medicine found some studies claiming the European high-low siren was the best, others claiming it was the worst, two professing to find no difference between sounds, and one commentator recommending different sounds for different conditions. The latest in siren technology is the Rumbler, which uses ultralow frequencies as advocated above, perhaps on the theory that if you can't reach drivers through their ears, maybe you'll get their attention if they puke.
Hi Fellow Eufy users, i found alarm sound on away mode is less as compare to anti theft protection or normal siren from homebase. Please advise how to increase the sound or upgrade firmware to match sound with anti theft protection.

Some nonspeech closed captions come in a series of two or more and should be evaluated as a series. I could have included continues as a separate verb for sirens along with wailing, blaring, and so on. But I think we need to look to the previous caption(s) in each series to inform the meaning of continues captions. For example, in Shaun of the Dead (2004), the siren is described as blaring, which establishes a sonic timeline that persists in the continues caption that appears six seconds later:
Recall that sound effects and paralanguage in nonspeech closed captioning tend to be verb-based. The use of siren as a noun by itself, without an accompanying verb, is similar to some other noun-centered nonspeech closed captions like (gunfire) and (applause).
In my sample, wailing is reserved for sirens, for the most part. Out of 56 nonspeech captions for wail/ing in my sample, 42 mention sirens explicitly. The remaining 14 nonspeech captions describe people sobbing uncontrollably (5 times) or other kinds of alarms (9 times).
Therefore I did like the concept of the Aeontec Siren, because it is mains powered, but has an integrated batteri in case of power failure. It is just the way it is used, with the siren sound and volume as configuration parameters, that is complex. Therefore my question for another solution.
These 12v mini siren horns can be wired up to any 12v connection. Note, the engine must be running in order to achieve the best possible output. Product summary. Refer to our FAQ page for any specific detailed product keypoints to reference . eBay!
I have a Raspberry on POE (with UPS for router, 4G backup connection, switches, WiFi and POE devices) and my alarm related devices are Z-Wave battery-only or in case of the Aeontec siren as mains-powered with battery backup. - During a couple of power outages over the years, this has been reliable.
I see Aoentec has announced a new version 6 of their siren, and in the meantime I will look into exposing the configuration parameters for sound type and volume for the Aoentec Siren Gen5 as channels, to get the items I am looking for. - Alternatively I can change the configuration via rules and HTTP requests to the API. Then I can use the existing sirens for different scenarios with clear audio difference to recognize the alarm type.
Anyone else have issues with their siren not sounding? Siren tested fine with the old ADT panel, I switched everything over to my new Konnected boards and when I trigger the siren it makes one empty dud sound. I have them each connected to the Alarm + and Alarm - screw terminals on the main panel.
I had the same thing for mine. I went a different route and picked up a siren driver instead. As it turns out, the board failed on me, and now I have no siren - Guess I'm off to get an $8 siren myself! :-)
I'm gonna say - probably. I'd test it off the alarm out on the main board. Just hook up the black/red wires coming from the siren. It looks like the yellow may be unused. If not the one listed above is a great, affordable alternative.
Just received my Wave2 siren, but I have to admit that I haven't found the resource that tells me where to connect the 12v siren on the main alarm board or the extender. I bet I'm missing something. Can you help? And then I want to configure it to trigger when the smoke alarms are triggered (I think I figured out how to do that in SmartThings hub)
You just need to connect the 2 wires to the Alarm +/- on the main Alarm board (G goes to negative / #1 or #2 goes to positive - can't remember which one). You will need to set the Alarm Out zone for a siren/strobe. And you will set up the alerts using SmartHome Monitor.
My siren terminal does not get any power when the sensors are opened. It tested OK when applying 12V from the aux terminal. Nor do I get any alerts pushed to my phone unless sensors are open when arming the system. Does this have anything to do with SmartThings?
This weekend she returned home to what "sounded like a police siren going off " in her lounge. As loud as a fire alarm. It was the Smarthub2 router and the sound only stopped when she turned the power off at the wall. No router sounds since and broadband working ok.
Out of interest I went into Smarthub2 technical log and there are lots of entries labelled 00:00 01 Oct when she had the siren sound sometime between the real time of 07:29 05 Dec and 07:47 05 Dec (when she restarted the hub ok). I've looked at the complete technical log for the hub and 00:00 01 Oct has never appeared at any other time on hub restart. Could this be relevant at all?
