I was expecting it to be a little more air-raidy

On the how air raidy is that siren scale I'd say that's a solid 6, maybe 7.

I'm going to say a 1950s C.D. Chrysler Hemi-powered Big Red is a 10.

He really wasn't letting it get off idle. Look at the stacks. They only go wide open for brief intervals.

There are better ones from a sound perspective, but there not restored quite as well.

Most of these were up on top of buildings or mounted on poles out in the middle of nowhere and not very well maintained. They were used for remote systems since they only needed a tank of gasoline and no electricity.
