Washington DC Police have installed a new Rumbler Siren on their cruisers in hopes of giving clueless drivers and pedestrians something to feel in addition to the standard high-pitched siren. Two woofers are used to emit low frequency sound waves and provide the same type of obnoxious vibrating effect that the police give noise violation tickets for. The news video even goes as far as showing the common coin trick used in nearly every Youtube video showing off car audio subwoofers. Video after the jump. The Rumbler Sirens cost $350 each and Washington DC plan on outfitting all 767 of their marked patrol cars. Many other Police Departments are currently testing the Rumbler Siren as well. |
Washington: Police patrol cars are being fitted with "the Rumbler", a new siren which is felt rather than heard. The siren uses an amplifier and a pair of subwoofer to generate inaudible frequencies which can be felt 60 metres away. The earth shaking siren, which is designed to ensure everyone knows a police car needs a clear path, has reportedly been a real attention grabber. A number of other police departments are currently testing the Rumbler. "You know when this is coming up behind you. It vibrates everything," officer Lou Schneider, who has been testing the siren, told local media. |
