Type of horn kits

It’s important to form an idea about the different types of existing horn kits

before buying one. And while we ensure you the best quality of horn from our

store, you might still want to differentiate between each one of them so that

when the time comes where your neighbors beg you to school teach them about

horns you are ready to do so.

The most fundamental thing to know is that there’s mainly two types of horn kits: “Air Horns and Train Horns”. An air horn is known for having a higher pitched tone, whereas train horn has more of lower pitch note. The other point is, air horns have higher frequency sound waves, so they take more energy to travel and thus the sound doesn’t carry as well at further distances than train horns. From a technical stand point, this is all you need to know. But even after acquiring these information, it remains hard to form a practical idea on how

each one of them sounds, and even when you pick one of these two there would still be sub-categories to choose from, this is why we recommend you listen to our Air and Train horn kit sound samples. All of which are available on our product page so you can hear exactly what they sound like and form a clear idea around them, since you want to make sure you really enjoy the way the horn sounds before you purchase it.

Restrictions

What you also might need to know is, as the sound gets higher, more restrictions follow it. For this reason, you need to educate yourself on the law behind the utilizations of these horns, and whether police officers would be able to ticket you on the go or not. Don’t worry we’ve got your back, as we’ve fully covered this topic in details in one of our blogs so you can know what or what not to do.

In short, you are allowed to use loud horns just make sure you don’t go around blasting in every now and then. Use it only when it’s necessary like when you’re preventing a car accident to happen on a highway. Prevent excessive usage in small hometowns where there is no need for it, otherwise police officers would be waiting for you just around the corner with a ticket at their hand, and you really want that.
