Can I get a louder horn?

Air horns are widely available and are inexpensive.

See "http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=40135"

Try to get at least 130dB. Ensure that you use a relay (hook the
existing horn wires to the relay coil).

 

I agree. Bad drivers are bad drivers, and with a louder horn, there's
a greater chance that they might respond to it, but I wouldn't count
on it.

When I converted my '55 Prez to 12 volts, I used some 6V Caddy horns.
They are LOUD!

A loud horn could easily backfire. If you blow your train horn at some
MFFY and it startles him, he might get pissed off and decide to
actively block you.

I've seen some messaging systems that hang from the back window
or above the license plate. Some display words and others faces.
(I could think of fingers too.)
I think most states have laws constraining "signal lights" on vehicles
and these violate the rules. I know this a point of contention with
some
souped up cars teens and hispanics use.

It'd actually be nice if vehicles had a wider choice of sounds, just as
they now have different levels of lights (parking, DRL, low beam, high
beam, fog lights).

A bell sound would be more appropriate for waking up someone that
doesn't go when the light turns green, while the loud air horn would be
appropriate when someone runs the red light in front of you. I usually
give a long blast to drivers that engage in serial red light runnning,
(usually after a left turn arrow has long since ended).

And, of course, "Dixie" would play every time you were about to jump
across a washed-out bridge or a big pile of dirt.

I usually gt the nice European Electric Horns, red, and hook with a relay.

For me, all I need to do is have my car's horn make a loud enough sound
to get attention, but not be obnoxious. I just went to Pep Boys and had
them swap out the factory installed horn with a louder one. I think the
who think, including parts and labor was < $50 and only took a few
minutes of a mechanic's time.

I do like the idea of having a horn where you can set an option for how
loud it is and the kind of sound it emits.

You have trains running around your public roads? Glad I don't live in
your neighborhood.
