Thread: Feel the need for a loud horn

Thanks for the info. I've never heard of those and will have to get one. (These days, most of my education takes place on this site!)

When I first got my County I was taking a girl somewhere and she actually laughed at the standard horn. "this huge load car with a pathetic meep horn ahahahah".

Cruel words that I never forgot. I re-instated my manliness and honour with an air horn. It's loud as. As with most mechanical things, the key to getting a good life out of it is to use it regularly - Which I'm happy to do!

50quid + shipping seems a bit steep though.. I think mine was $40 from a local independent auto store.


I used to know a guy who mounted a horn from a train on his hilux. You would hear it *for kilometers* and it was very amusing sounding it and watching the reaction from passers by.

Not to be a party pooper but whatever you fit, check rules and regs and make sure you aren't about to draw undue attention to yourself...

Hope that link worked. Its a good start. Basically single frequency and volume, under 120dB. Might vary state to state.

What does this Nautilus sound like? A truck, a train? I want something that is going to get road hogs out of the way. Is this the go?

Yes, I've had the same experience a few times as well! I can't remember which Land-Rover it was about, or who said it, but I remember the words . . .

Hi,
I have had air horns on my motorcycle since 1968. I think they have possibly saved me from an unavoidable collision with some one intruding on my right of way on about 8 occasions.
One or two of those avoided collisions I judged would have been fatal with out the air horns.
I would feel naked with out them.
cheers
