Thanks for the suggestions. I settled it as being a PA1000-8Z based on the documentation provided here. Sadly the PA1000 tones online don't match up quite well with what was in the video, so I had to get creative and mix/match audio from a PA1000, PA20 and PA15 to get the tone as it is in the video.

This mid 80s docu on LA drug enforcement has a cutaway shot of a CHP Diplomat going code. It seems to have a very different siren that isnt a PA500. Can anybody help in ID'ing what it is? Earlier in the video there's also a few shots of an unmarked LAPD LTD and Caprice. Part 2 of this docu has a rare shot of an 80s LAFD Chevy ambulance. This info might be worth it to some retro modders.

You'll have to make it yourself. There are plenty of places to source the audio from.

Whelen Epsilon....or any of the other Whelen sirens that share the same tones.

Its actually the Code3 H2 Covert. Sounds very similar to the PA4000 but it isnt. The sudden fall in the wail tone gives it away. The other sirens are probably Federal AS series sirens, but I could be wrong. Europe uses tons of weird stuff.

According to a user on this site, Kentucky State Police use the Galls siren.

Thanks. I researched that, and apparently NYPD did use the PA300. Did they use a custom PA300 only for themselves (like FDNY or CHP with the PA500) or is this just a standard PA300 that was modified in an audio editor? I found what sounds like an older PA300, but it doesnt sound the same.

https://archive.org/details/NYPDAMERICANPOLICESIRENMP3 I went looking for clean loopable siren audio for a non GTA mod project and found this. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what brand/model this siren is. Listening to it again, it sounds like it could be a clean loop of a PA500 siren.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like it could be that. On a Mad Max Falcon of all things. In the mean time, I did a little toying around. I took a FedSig Touchmaster siren and pitched it up six times. It sounds fairly close. siren04 lasd.wav

You will need to cut the source audio into loopable segments for wail, yelp, priority, etc. Step two would be to apply your pitch modifier or filter (for ex: to kill background noise) onto the single loop of sound. Apply the filter and test if the audio still loops smoothly. If it does, then you're good to go. If it doesnt, try copying the audio segment a few times so that it has 3 or 4 segments. Re-cut the audio out from this segment and test some more if it loops right.

Ive been trying to get the siren down for the LA Sheriff Unmarked units seen in this video (10 seconds, 4:11 and 4:42) Am doing this for a non GTA project but am willing to share any audio if it benefits GTA modders. I believe its a Federal Signal branded siren but cannot find any that goes as high as these. Have they possibly modified the speaker or siren itself to go this high?

From the Philippines, these are Chinese made knock-offs of Federal Signal's Jetsonic. Every cop cruiser, ambulance and fire engine runs these almost exclusively. Only USA type lights are on imported Ford E series ambulances that are owned by private hospitals. This thing probably wins the 'shitty lightbar' contest. Close up video on the thing.

Awesome. A proper LA Rambulance being done. Nice work. Only thing I could advise is making the black wheel arch cover a bit thicker, make it droop slightly lower. The mirrors as well would need swapping to the ones used on the 4500, but I'm sure you've got that covered.

In his defense, I havent seen him make such claims in this thread so I wouldnt hold that against him. Nobody needs to be perfect with regards to getting ELS correctly, and thats why I post here in order to help people doing LA based assets.

This should settle some confusion surrounding both vehicles. Ive done my research regarding, might as well share the answers. Not all batalion chiefs run with the XF bar and black bumpers. A compromise would be for mod author to do this skin instead if the accurate title is to remain. The EMS vehicles are driven by captains, not chiefs. It would be better IMO to add both battalion and EMS captain in the title to make it clear you're doing 2 vehicles. The command bits on the new Burbans are more or less similar to the old ones. Not sure if the Batt chiefs use C3 surface leds, these look like Whelen 700s due to the internal bits being different and the screws being closer to the edge. Here's the antenna setup on the roof. Enjoy having to model all them pointy bits. Hope this ends any hostilities.
