Fedelcode model 2 just around the corner from the cafe in Hamilton WA . Closest I ever got to a siren is about 50-100ft from a FS modulator. The model 2 is the fire siren for the Hamilton Volunteer Fire Department it also acts as a flood siren.
I have a FS 2001-130 2 blocks away form my house and that thing screams alot (I live in tornado alley
FS 2001-130 b my house

In person would be my custom built siren and from a distance would be FS STH-10.
Edit: the loudest in person is a 3rd gen ACA Allertor 125.
Edit 2: the loudest is now Deerfield TWP, Michigan’s ACA Penetrator-10 (P-10). That thing is the only Penetrator in the sate and it really packs a punch.
Can you send pictures please?

It’s the only siren I’ve heard really
I know I’m a bit late on this topic, but the loudest siren I’ve ever heard was by far the Pintsch Bamag Anlage 2 (Old German Cold War pneumatic siren) in Nußdorf, Germany.
I also heard a Siemens FmSi 40 and an Elektror L1 or S5 which were in our neighbor city. I find they are both louder than the standard E57 or DS977 sirens we mostly have here in Germany. Sadly both got removed many years ago.
Also, some of the more modern electric sirens here are also pretty loud.
Would have also liked to hear the Helin L136 out village once had, but it wasn’t in service for the last 30 years and was removed 6 years ago.
Easily this would be the siren in my hometown, a Cicca R3P, aka the loudest French air raid siren ever made (owing to the extremely tight tolerances on the rotor), back when it was still tested.
Considering I lived around 500 meters away from it back then 
The 2nd loudest siren I ever heard, this time was in Lamorlaye, and this time around it is a Constructions Électriques du Nord (CEN) type NP3S, while it wasn’t as loud as the R3P, it still packed a real wallop:
