My grandma always said a car needs two horns. One, that means "hey you jerk, you almost killed me" and one that says "hey buddy, the light changed" Sort of one for when your mad, and one as a gentle reminder sort of thing.

tap vs layin' on it?
Basically.

So are you suggesting cars come factory equipped with train horns? lol
I have a pair of horns on my DD and one died so now I only have a chirp from a high tone instead of a noticeable blast.
I'll have one of these please.

Holy bacon breakfast burrito! where can I get one of those giant air horns and who wants to help me attatch it to my Econoline?
2 quick taps... for attention... hold it down for the other
Having two styles of using the instrument would be good in a perfect world. In the one I live in..even what should be a polite, casual tap is elevated to a blast because the driver in the other car has his "jailhouse homosexual rape music" cranked up to 11 in his "whip". And sometimes, they still don't hear it.
Hella Supertones for the win (not mine, but on my wish list, right after a proper oil cooler).

Until they make the train horns small enough to mount on a VW without ruining the fuel economy, those are what I want.
EDIT: Didn't mean to sound like such a bigot..I just really hate rap. I see just as many white meth addicts blasting Metallica out here in "the sticks"..it's just that it didn't come to mind immediately, since there's less traffic congestion out here than there is when I go to work down in town (Atlanta). Poverty knows no skin color (and apparently, no driving skills either).
that still reminds me of the Horn of Doom on the Buick I have in the garage, which I must say was named very ironically. they're anything but doom-worthy.
Air horns are a popular upgrade for Miatas - but they take just a half-second for the horn to "spool up". One cool idea I've heard is to keep the stock horn in the loop so that a quick tap gives the normal Miata "meep!" but holding any longer kicks in the Fiamms.
My Cadillac came with horns that sound like a train. Two trumpets and two snails, I think. It's awesome.
I've had a guy try to break into my car to attack me (I assume) after I honked at him while I simultaneously avoided hitting him after he pulled out in front of me. Horns piss off the crazy people because it's obviously a direct personal attack and not a warning device. At the time, I wished I had one of those under-car flame throwers like in South Africa.
I had a set of the 3 tone Fiamms on my Hardbody. I LOVED them to death, but they froze up after sitting for too long.
With a small valve and a small tank, you can pretty much eliminate the half second pause. I had a vacuum canister and a valve on mine that did an awfully good job.
Ive got a small pump with dual horns from harbor freight in my truck. Still takes a second to whip um up for a loud blast, but always gets the point across.

Mine is set up that way. It actually works pretty well and I was just going to post the idea.
