A blow horn is a common horn that can be purchased almost anywhere and ranges in size and loudness. This horn is used for a multitude of events. In fact, many of the horns today are not powered by someone blowing into them, but are electronic or are powered by compressed air to make things much easier. The compressed air horns are used for sporting events to add excitement to the action. Other forms of horns are available for specific uses like bullhorns that are used to project a voice over a loudspeaker with a simple handheld device that is battery powered. These are often used for protest, by emergency services, and many other outdoor events. Bullhorns are very useful to get people’s attention. The material of the horns differs for quality and sound: plastic is on the lower end of quality and metal or carbon is on the higher end of the scale. The shape and size of the device will determine the loudness and pitch of the tone that will be carried.

The Dixie Horn is becoming a very popular upgrade to cars and these horns are turning heads on the streets. Literally. The horn itself is not much different than many other stock car horns on the market today but is just modified to play a special song. The horn’s jingle originates from the Dixie song from the late 1800’s. People around the world are fascinated when hearing this song as it became popular from the movie “The Dukes of Hazard”. The tone is a very catchy jingle and is much more soothing to hear on the road than just a regular old car horn which can get obnoxious. A benefit to using this horn is that other drivers will be more alert to the unique tone as opposed to the standard car horn.

Fog horns are often associated with large boats as they are very loud and are the larger than most horns. The horns carry a very deep tone that can be heard from far away. The horns have gone as far as being rigged up to fit in the back of a truck with a tank of air. The horns work using compressed air which is beneficial on a boat because the air can be replenished to the tank with an air compressor. The main use of the horn is to warn other vessels in heavy fog that there is another boat nearby and caution should be taken to avoid any collision. These particular types of horns have been used for several years before there were advanced computer systems installed to warn boats of other nearby vessels. There should be extreme caution when around these horns and ear protection should be worn at all times as they are extremely loud giving the possibility of hearing loss. In the early years of the railroad before computers, telephones or any system that was used to track trains whereabouts, these horns were introduced to warn others in time of heavy fog. A series of organized schedules were later implemented to reduce train collisions by spacing out trains from others. They gave a certain distance requirement to operate safely.
