This is what should be considered a horn.

This is a fine shining example of a horn!....... I can see if i can make one using this, but the bell in the background concerns me.....but still Ill take a stab at it........ Any specifications to the way it should be made?

Great horn...This should be a regular thread where eveyone posts their hornsounds wav and video's. I have always found that my common mistake I always make when video taping, is going to right where the grade crossing is...Crossing gate sound effects in the background can get annoying, that's why setting up farther +/-down the track, and especially 50'-100' away from the tracks can produce better sound effects, than right up close. If you set up @ 200' past the grade crossing you get all the ambiance of the hornsound and the overall scene...and you don't end up with a speaker blow out, deafening horn, blaring at 150db. And if you wave to the engineer, or set up too close to the tracks, they can blow out your sound system with a full hornsound.

My favorite has always been a great hornsound, with a dopler effect clanging bell going by. Same with steam locomotives...a really bassy throated whistle like the C&O#611 or NW#1218 had.

He was driving me crazy! Every time the train got closer he pulled the zoom back so the train was farther away. It finally made it, though, and the horn was really something.
I want this horn for my scooter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_46AsICikSU&feature=related
The next time someone pulls out in front of me, I'll give him a friendly toot so he'll see me.:hehe:
