Blew my horn and got laughed at

[The little red pill]

So, someone that doesn't know how to drive, cut me off. And of course I use liberal use of my horn and they proceed to point and laugh. I thought, you know, our horns are actually pretty gay sounding. Am I the only one who thinks this? Is there anything we can do to masculate our horn sounds? I'm thinking an air horn powered by compressed air, since obviously my car being red doesn't seem to prevent people pulling out right in front of me. Grrrrrr....

Just had to vent before I sit back and relax a little. lol :smoking:

[JBougie]

They do sound kinda femme .... I even laugh at it when I have to use it .... I always imagine a little purple puff of sparkles coming out of the hood when I use it.

That's probably just me though ... lol

[yarismaris]

haha I agree..,.I assume there are aftermarket horns out there? I wonde3r if they are hard to wire

[Kaotic Lazagna]

www.hornblasters.com is what you need. LMAO.

139 dB Trombe Stebel FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like a horn you'd expect on a small truck and a Ferrari!

To here the sound it makes click here http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb65/MADDOGZONER/?action=view&current=5c75db10.pbr

[Kal-El]

Yeah, why do automakers think that they need to put wimpy horns into small cars?

:iono:

[TheRealEnth]

i dont have any idea what our horns sound like... totally forgot... havent pressed it in a year... o.0

[Deltasix]

As was mentioned, Hella Supertones are probably the best bet, put some in my car:

Sound great, people, heck, even truckers really take notice of them. probably one of my favorite mods to my car.

Japanese horns are made for "tootling."

I've often seen the following section quoted from an old Japanese book on "Japanese Road Rules for Tourists":

1. At the rise of the hand of the policeman stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.
2. If pedestrian obstacle your path, tootle horn melodiously. If he continue to obstacle tootle horn vigorously and utter vocal warning such as, hi, hi.
3. If wandering horse by roadside obstacle your path, beware that he do not take fright as you pass him. Go soothingly by, or stop by roadside till he pass away.
4. If road mope obstacle your path refrain from pass on hill or round curve. Follow patiently till road arrive at straight level stretch. Then tootle horn melodiously and step on, passing at left and waving hand courteously to honorable road mope in passing.
5. Beware greasy corner where lurk skid demon. Cease step on, approach slowly, round cautiously, resume step on gradually.

don't let road rage get the better of you. plus, flicking them off is much more gratifying ;D

I always liked the idea of sideways / forward mounted washer jets filled with liquid paint stripper.

If Hella Supertones are 118dB and Trombe Stebel Nautalis is 139dB it's a no brainer to which ones are louder. Trombe Stebel FTW

[Goose]

I wouldn't get too hung up on decibel ratings since they depend on measurement criteria. Hella Supertones are pretty popular; I had them on a previous car, and they worked well. I'm sure the Trombe's are good also.

[33OH]

I have a siren I really need to hook up. It's pretty sweet, haha.
