    I would guess that's off of a ship or sub, and probably not intended for music. U-Boat dive alarm maybe?

    Yes, some sort of hailing/alarm system is what i suspect. Probably driven by an interesting amplifier upstream when it was originally installed.

    I think it looks home made.

    Yeah a ship alarm makes sense. Definitely not seen every day.
