Your Bones Will Feel The Rumbler Siren Coming



Sirens! Nothing new. Ubiquitous on city streets. Even small towns have, to some degree, grown accustomed to their shrill warnings. That's kind of a problem! Enter the Rumbler. You literally feel it coming.

How? Well, it's actually pretty easy, and it started with music. Coupled with the high shrill of a "normal" siren, the Rumbler adds in a low-frequency tone that's so potent it can penetrate car doors. Ariel Kaminer, writing for the New York Times:

Rumblers [...] achieve their striking effect with a low-frequency tone, in the range of 180 to 360 hertz (between the 33rd and the 46th key on a standard piano keyboard), which penetrates hard surfaces like car doors and windows better than a high tone does. When it is paired with the wail of a standard siren, the effect is hard to ignore - like the combination of a bagpipe's high chanter and low drone, or perhaps like a train whistle and the caboose that moves that whistle through space.

The Rumbler is 10 decibles quieter than a standard siren and has no noticeable impact on driver health, pedestrian's ears or unborn babies (Kaminer is pregnant, and did not spontaneously go into labor while listening). That doesn't mean things don't get weird though:

Hearing a Rumbler while standing on the street, I felt a slight tingle under my ribs; in Officer Gallagher's car, I felt a gentle reverberation on the seat.

If you live in New York, expect you ribs to be rumbled very soon. Roughly 5,000 of the NYPD's 8,000 cars will have the Rumbler installed in the very near future.

It's difficult to locate bass sounds, hf is much easier to locate using the stereo imaging of you ears.

Its impossible to ignore a cops lights and sirens if you are any kind of coherent while driving...

Why do they want us to here sirens in our homes MORE?

something new for the movie companies.

look at how much money they've made from SWAT movies.

It's those homeland security dollars working for you.

Seriously, Pittsburgh cops, fire, and EMS, alreday have a full compliment of sirens that cover ranges in the lower Hz (for those who have lost hearing in the higher registers...often older folks)


they blow a normal siren when there in a hurry, blow the "penetrator siren" when they're in traffic congestion...and in a hurry...

what they need is,
