Was on Google looking at images of 611 Place which is a dead high-rise building. I believe I might’ve found an older Honeywell voice evac.
It almost certainly was at some point. Unfortunately, it probably has been upgraded at some point.
The building is dead, with most tenants gone. I doubt that it’s probably gone.

I doubt it, it’s most likely an older Cerberus Pyrotronics system
Why did you first agree with me on my statement & now are not? (especially since the available evidence very much implies that it is an FS90 system)
https://youtu.be/4h8lx0Ql_8Y?si=5jdADmJXYVcZGZjw The hotel in the video (Embassy Suites in Rosemont, IL) used to have some sort of Cerberus Pyrotronics system.

I was talking about the supposed hospital that that (still strange-as-heck) “teddy bear surgery” Youtube video was filmed in, not some hotel (what hotel are you referring to then?).
I used that tone on a game https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1100388032/
So the tones in both videos are the same, messages are the same. This leads me to believe that the one in the hospital is a Cerberus Pyrotronics system.
Oh, could be then I guess (even though it was assumed previously that both were Honeywell systems going by their similarity to systems in other videos).
Are there any photos before the replacement?
Just found this video: it features a very similar whoop tone to the one in the first video in this topic (according to the uploader this video was taken in a New Orleans hotel). Could this be another FCI 7200/FCI FireVac III system like the Entergy Tower’s? (also note the Apollo smoke detector with sounder beacon base as the only device seen)

Could that be a “speaker base”? I know Potter sells “speaker bases”:
I know that last one looks like a sounder base, but I can assure you it’s a speaker base.
Oh yeah: if the whoop tone is coming from the detector (which it seems to be given the video’s audio) it very well could be one, didn’t even think of that. The transparent ring of plastic between the detector & the base (which is where the LEDs are housed) identifies it as a “speaker beacon base” specifically (though I don’t know of any made by Apollo: all they seem to make are sounder & sounder beacon bases). Still an odd choice for a US system though, especially since beacon bases are basically nonexistent there (in fact I believe none are even rated for use in the country due to not meeting brightness requirements).

According to a friend of mine the Entergy Tower has a Honeywell FS90 with a Notifier System 500 attached, & that they’re apparently still there to this day (surprising I’d say given how long ago both the FS90 & System 500 were made), which means that the system in the video I just found & the system in the video that Mimi shared here would both be FS90s too (going by the mostly-similar whoop tones at least).

It’s most likely an FS90, there’s not many slow whoops that sound as unique as the FS90.
Found more footage of the Entergy Tower fire alarm (no sound though, just strobes)
I also found the hotel in the “annoying fire alarm” video. There’s also Wheelock speakers in the rooms, which debunks where the sound is coming from (and you can see the speaker in the video at the beginning).

I’d need to actually see these panels before making any conclusions
Ah, nice job! That friend of mine that I mentioned also found it too.
Doubtful just because you can’t see the panels huh? Well that’s what said friend of mine said, & they seem to be pretty confident & sure that that’s what the setup is (sure the Apollo detectors don’t really make sense since they entered production decades after the FS90, but who knows honestly).
Addendum to what I last said: according to a different friend of mine the system in that New Orleans hotel is a Firecom of some kind with a Dukane tone generator (the latter of which might be the same one that the FS90 uses, which would explain the initial discrepancy of FS90 whoop with Apollo detectors), so therefore that hotel might have had an FS90 at one time, but it’s clearly since been replaced, & they might have also kept the previous panel’s tone generator too (or that it’s simply always been a Firecom system that just so happens to use the same tone generator as an FS90).
