QE2 Whistles

[KEV]

There must be a way of converting my Friedland chime doorbell to accept a recording signal with the aid of a Marshall amp and some of my old sizeable Rock speakers......

Kev - I am sure there is!

My Mac can produce it even when there's no-one at the door!

I wish it was available as a car horn too!


Maybe Waverley can invent one...?

There's an episode of Keeping Up Appearances when Hyacinth gets the workmen to set her house alarm system alert to QE2's horn. I laughed so hard when I saw that episode.

Not that I don't do something similar.

My alarm tone on my iPod is the QE2's horn. And it can be quite loud - especially if I have the iPod attached to the speakers.

Someday my neighbours are going to start wondering what is that sound.

Still trying to figure out how to set this as the alarm tone on my Nokia - no chance of sleeping through that lol!

Andy

Might this act as an alarm when downloaded?

Not being a techie type - not sure whether ring tones and alarms are the same thing!
It is in an MP3 version too

Hope it works!

[Andy F]

Thanks Rosie but while I've downloaded it to my phone and can use it as a ringtone if desired (I don't), I can't seem to hack into the alarm tones.  Still, probably just as well lol!

[Twynkle]

Yes Andy- Maybe it's the only time QE2 might cause a problems...
That sinking feeling on waking!

I often smile at the thought of having a QE2 horn on my car when some (!) person cuts me off at a round-about mmm if only!

[Twynkle]

If only....
Thinking about setting a new topic....Think I will....!

I'm with you there Chris and as one known to have a propensity to use his horn whenever the need arises, I can certainly relate to that lol!

Hyacinth gets the workmen to set her house alarm system alert to QE2's horn.

Can that be done in real life?

I'm not too sure. Though I'm sure those more techy than I am might be able to find a way.

Nice one, Rosie!

Here's another great video with interaction between the two ships' whistles :

A Flickr video, which I have not yet learnt how to embed...

I get amused at what happens when QM2 starts... little giggles erupt... 

[Scott Ebersold]

I feel like that sounds familiar nigelrob ... which leads me to my question:  What note is QE2's whistle.  I know I've read about it but just can't find it.  There's loads of info about QM2's whistle being a "deep bass A" but I can't find a stich about  the note of QE2's whistle.

Anyone know off hand?
