How little do you understand what kind of hobby train horns have been these last few years. Truckers partcuarly owner operators have been spending thousands to acquire Train horns and establish air feed systems capable of delivering the required air to these horns. I LOVE loud air horns. As a professional driver I hardly ever ever touched my air horn. I use it for two reasons: Toot Toot -HEY You over der.. yes you! Look here I need to talk with you a sec (Truck stop lot or freight yard greeting to forklifts etc.. routine stuff) TOOOOOOOOTTTT!!! Long drawn out blast aimed at a offending vehicle that is unable to get out of MY WAY which is legally and positionally my right of way. It usually drowns out profanity from the offending vehicle's driver window and carries the message of please move your vehicle and quickly please.. thank you. Now train horns on trucks. The very ground shakes. If sounded in truckstops they are extremely short bursts as the waves can destroy glass and people's hearing. Out west where there is miles of nothing on the interstate... they sound soo sweet and awesome. Yes they still shake your ground from a mile away but out there in that part of the nation it is a asset. Most truckers who invested in these very expensive systems usually hang the horn in a very very visible spot on the tractor that shouts in it's very silence a warning to everyone to stand back I can blow at any moment. I support any sound device which is DOT legal to be taken out onto the Interstate. Go big and loud or stay on the porch. Now as far as the issue of children putting horns on cars to scare people or cause a disturbance I dont condone this at all. In this case I am glad I have little hearing left and it wont bother me one bit. But I will feel sympathy for folks who are trying to get 8 hours of sleep in before they have to go to work in the morning.
