  • Publication number: 20230219492
    Abstract: An electronically controlled motor driven siren. The siren is electronically controlled to generate different sound profiles, while having advantages of a motor driven mechanical siren. In some embodiments, the siren is part of a system of multiple sirens. The phases of the rotors of the sirens of the system can be electronically controlled to generate different multi-siren combined sound profiles.
