Default New Horn

So I got sick of the "beeep" horn with a quick and easy remedy. Went to O'Reilly and got a replacement auto horn that hooked up perfectly with no adaptation and it is loud. Took 5 minutes once I figured out the right sized tools. $17.

No pics, to incompetent to figure that part out yet.

I've tried numerous horns from various makers including some of the best on the market and none of them have ever been loud enough for me.

At this point, I'm going to keep the stock horn until I can wire up a relay and an air horn loud enough to break eardrums.

jlil...the brand is Wolo, model # is 380-2T. Not saying it is the loudest but it sure is a heck of a lot louder than what it replaced.

They are VERY loud.
It appears they're rated at 115 db at 2 meters. The Low Tone FIAMM above is rated at 125 and the other at 130, but I don't see the test distance stated.
