If you have ever been near a train when it passes, you know there is almost no way to miss the loud horns they have to alert the surrounding areas. Trains themselves are some of the loudest things passing through town, and the horns are impossible not to hear. If you have ever been in your car and honked and had another driver not even hear it, you might consider getting a train horn for your car or truck. These things can be dangerous to hearing, so be careful if you are trying to alert pedestrians.

It used to be difficult to source all the pieces needed to add a train horn to your ride, but it is now easier than ever. You won’t just find wimpy “aaooga” horns either, these are top quality units that would otherwise be mounted to a train. They are designed to be used very often in any condition, and to never fail. They can be mounted in almost any direction to suit your needs as well. They come in several colors, with black and chrome making up the most popular.

You might think being as loud as a train is overkill, but wait until the next time you can’t see due to inclement weather. Being stuck in the fog, snow, or rain is much less scary when you feel secure that everyone on the road will hear you coming if you need to let them know with a little blast from the horn. Big rig trucks use fairly loud air horns to keep things safe when the weather is not, why not go all out and be even louder.

I have almost been hit numerous times by inattentive drivers. If someone can manage to text message and not hear this horn, they must be hard of hearing, or at least deserve some kind of superhero medal. Even the loudest speaker system is no match for these air horns. Think about all the times you’ve been stuck waiting for a train in your car and couldn’t even hear the radio. This is just like that, but when you want, where you want. I haven’t been able to test it on someone driving with earphones in, but I imagine they should have no trouble hearing a train horn with them in.

Whatever your reasons for wanting to mount a train horn on your car or truck, I can’t recommend them enough. The prices at trucktrainhorns.com are very reasonable for kits and even individual pieces to upgrade your current setup. Try it out today, and see just how much more confident you can be that the other person is definitely going to hear you coming.
