The '''Model 3''' was an omnidirectional siren produced by [[Federal Signal Corporation]]. This siren has a rating of 105 decibels at 100 feet. It was a very basic small 12 port siren. Very similar to the Model 5, but smaller. The Model 3 is most notably famous for being the "grandfather" of the [[2001 series]].
The '''Model 3''' was a 3 horse power, mechanical, omni-directional siren produced by [[Federal Signal Corporation]]. It's essentially the smaller version of the [[Model 5]]. The rotor is 12 inches in diameter coming in 2 different port ratios: 12 and 8 port single tone. The siren was housed in a very simple enclosure that resembles an air vent found on building roofs.
 
== Model 3T ==
In the early years of the Cold War, [[Federal Signal Corporation]] released a version of the '''Model 3''' that was dual tone. Although the exact decibel rating is not known, it presumably produced 101-103 decibels at 100 feet. The only currently known 3T in the wild is located at the Chatham Community Park in Chatham, Illinois.
