Naval alarm sound from WWII.
I'm trying to find the name of the naval alarm sound you hear in old WWII movies. It's a long whooop, whooooop whooop, usually when a British destroyer was in contact with the enemy. I don't think it's a GQ or battle stations alarm but what do I know being in Uncle Sam's Flying Circus?
5:58 you can hear it here. From my Google searches it was used in WWII by British destroyers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b2Bti5sSBE Post on Uboat.net asking the same question with no joy. http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?22,76417,76417 Anyone? Thanks

I know the one he's talking about. It's a horn kind of sound, three rising tones.
Check this page: http://policeinterceptor.com/navysounds.htm I couldn't find it there, but didn't have time to check all the links.

Could it be a Carter Siren?

In the US Navy, an alarm of 3 tones repeatedly is the collision alarm (nowadays it's 3 beeps, but I'm sure in the old days it was more of an "air horn" sound). Could be the same, who knows...

On the alarm sound, I'm thinking it's a collision alert also but this is a British Naval deal from what I can find. Just trying to get an official word on the name and how it was used. Thanks Husker for that link, I found a couple gooduns there. I edit video and those will work for a few sound drops.

In all the movies I recall hearing this sound as the DE was making a hard turn and dropping depth charges on Japanese submarines.

Cass has probably "pitched the Devil" a time or two... I'll probably get banned for a year for that one... :D
