What’s the point of being a truck owner, if your vehicle doesn’t have the loudest sound and the most badass look?
I mean you could get a tiny car if you want something cute-looking, and maybe then you could give it a pink Barbie princess theme.
From what we know, actual truck owners go full savage mode and show people who’s the real boss on the road, or better yet, at truck shows.
One of the main factors that determine a truck’s savageness is its sound, when you use your horn it needs to be as loud as an explosion, otherwise, it’s all talk and no walk. And for you to avoid this embarrassment, we’ve decided to give you a hand, and guide you through the 5 loudest in-house horns that would make your truck truly sound like a “Bad Boy”.
We recommend you read the whole thing and make your purchase afterward, because honestly… We’ve heard some people talk bad things about your horn sound, behind your back.
We will be covering some general information at first for newbies, if you’re knowledgeable about this topic or already have a truck horn, make sure you skip directly to the third title section.
What are the different types of horns?
Factory horns:
Factory horns, also known as stock horns, are the standard horns installed on a vehicle by the manufacturer as original equipment. They are typically simple in design and produce a familiar honking sound, that is… you guessed it, low as hell.
They usually have one or two horns and are not as loud as the aftermarket horns, they are also not as customizable as the aftermarket horns, which honestly… Sucks.
Air horn:
Air horns are a type of aftermarket horn that is powered by compressed air.
They produce a loud, powerful honking sound and are often used as a replacement for factory horns in cars, trucks, and other vehicles to increase the volume and attract more attention.
They typically come in kits that include the air compressor, air tank, and horn or trumpet. They are popular among emergency vehicles, trucks, buses, boats, and car enthusiasts who want to give their vehicles a unique sound.
Train horn:
Train horns are aftermarket horns that are often used as a replacement for factory horns to increase volume and attract attention.
Train horns are popular among truck and vehicle owners who want to rock the road. To be realistically clear, they do require more maintenance, just like air horns, but they are honestly one of the most powerful ones in the market.
Which type is the loudest?
When it comes to volume, train horns are the loudest.
They are designed to mimic the sound of a train horn, in order to be heard from a distance, and it’s how its name was originally generated. They are powered by compressed air and produce a loud, powerful, and distinctive sound that is similar to the horn of a train.
In addition, it is important to note that the loudness of a horn also depends on its size and the pressure of the compressed air used. It's important to check local
laws before installing a loud horn as some states have laws that regulate the maximum decibel level for the horn on a vehicle.
