SAFETY

We do recommend train horns if you use them responsibly and will not constantly be traveling in heavy-traffic areas. The sound of a train horn can cause people to panic which can lead to serious accidents. So, if you do decide purchase a train horn, please take the community into consideration and be very cautious when using your train horn. If you have any questions or comments regarding safety issues related to your new train horn please contact Air Horns of Texas at 888-580-1630.

Accident Prevention

An air horn is the producer of a loud and piercing sound that is caused by compressed air vibrating a diaphragm. They are commonly installed into big trucks, trains, sea vessels, and emergency vehicles. These air horns were designed to alert others of their presence.

• Emergency vehicles use this to gain the right-of-way.
• Ocean ships have a similar use for emergency air horns. They sound their horn to see if another vessel is near so they will not run into each other.
• Cities may use air horns as warnings, for example, tornado warnings.

Laws

Be sure, before purchasing, to check your local noise ordinances for rules and restrictions regarding commercial air horns.
