Truck Air Horn Laws

Before 1983, the Environmental Protection Agency controlled noise policy. The rules have changed since then, and now the EPA allows every state to establish their own laws. Current truck air horn laws are now mainly legislated and enforced by each state and the cities within.

At Air Horns of Texas, every air horn is of excellent quality. If you are interested in installing an air horn in your vehicle, contact Air Horns of Texas at 888-580-1630.

How Sound is Measured

Sound is measured in decibels or dbA. Horns or sirens operated while a vehicle is moving are limited to range a certain level of dbA, according to the city’s policy. These standards apply under any circumstance-time, road, condition, vehicle load, acceleration or deceleration.

Texas Laws

According to the Law Library of Austin, it is okay for personal vehicles to have air horns as long as the owner does not use them in any public places before the hours of 7:00 am and after 10:30 pm. Individuals who make loud noises that cause a public disturbance are subject to be fined.
