I put a locomotive horn on my F-350. Have a little air compressor to get the pressure right.


People can't say they don't hear me coming.

I've had FIAMM trumpets. (Italian car sound)
Cadillac 3 tone (melodious barge sound)

I dont get the whole train horn thing. Funny on youtube...but straight up jackassery in real life. When it happens to you... you wont think it is funny

This thread reminds me of the Top Gear where Clarkson hit the horn on his Mercedes 600 Grosser.

This. You don't need a loud horn unless you're a reckless and aggressive driver.

There's a guy on YouTube with a Prius or Yaris or similarly tiny car who hooked up an air horn and air compressor. He has some videos of people cutting him off in traffic, and when he honks at them they nearly run off the road!
