We have whistles, so why not sirens too? They're essentially just whistles with a wind-up and wind-down (although on a steam siren, the wind-down is barely audible)

Foster Steam Siren
Horn was recorded from 200 feet away and audio was mixed with video.

4 Sizes of steam sirens compared 1/8Sm, 1/8Lg, 1/4, and 1/2. Started with 150 psi in a 80 gal tank. Ended with 110 psi when finished.

I'm thinking the pitch could be varied increasing the size of the horn by adding more siren horn blocks, and changing the over all size of it with a wrench

It would work a lot like the steam whistle, but a different model and different sound physics
