	Civil defense siren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A civil defense siren, air raid siren, tornado siren, or other kind of outdoor warning siren, is usually considered to be an electrically-powered mechanical device for generating sound to provide warning of approaching danger and to indicate when the danger has passed.
		Sirens are sometimes used to alert the public to releases of hazardous materials, such as chemicals from a derailed train car or a manufacturing plant.
		The motor of the 2001 siren is located in the large cylinder at the center of the siren's megaphone-like horn, with the rotor and stator being located at the rear of the horn.
