NICEST Car Horn Ever- DIY

This horn is SO courteous my car was granted Canadian citizenship yesterday.

Courtesy Honk WAV file:

MUSIC-

Summary: I customized my car horn to play three different sounds. The main sound is the "Courtesy Honk" which is used to get the attention of other drivers in a non-emergency scenario. It's two quick chirps of the horn that is not only friendly sounding, but it's not as loud as a normal car horn.

I make videos like this once a month all year long while supplies last:

in Orlando you need 3 buttons
1) train horn
2) louder train horn
3) ground rumbling train horn

[derpygrenade]

Horn one the left: “Hey, pay attention”
Horn on the right: “Please pay attention”
Horn in the middle: “TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR, IMMA HIT YOU WITH MY CAR”

I love that r2 “horn” for just snagging someone’s attention! I’ve thought about buying a musical horn for the rig I run at work just to amuse people, the idea of pulling into a jobsite with my 32T rig and waving to my coworkers with the “la cucaracha” horn blaring amuses me! 😂

[joseflunari]

Wow, a polite-sounding horn?
That's a great idea! Thank you, Mark!
Now I realize what I've been missing for so many years; it should be standard for all cars.

These are the three horns I need in NYC:
1. "Stop texting"
2. "Watch out!"
3. "Learn how to drive"

I’d install a horn that makes the “bruh” sound effect

[careylee]

Great idea. The polite tap tap of the honk is very common here in Costa Rica. I often see it given to thank truck and heavy machinery vehicle drivers when they give you the wave that it is clear to pass them.

I've been waiting my entire life to do this. I'm getting my first car in a few months and I can't wait to put one of these horns in!

[ohtych]

I changed my horn to gunshot noises, now people get out of the way faster :)

[CapitanTavish]

What I’d make is
1) angry horn
2) ship docking horn
3) nuclear alarm horn

[metalpunk]

Love the idea. You should rearrange the buttons, though, from least urgent to most urgent to reduce the odds of, as others have pointed out, accidentally pressing the wrong button.

Great idea! As a long time motorcyclist (I used to commute 125 miles per day on SoCal freeways), I have converted my horns over to compact air horns on my bikes. They have saved my bacon many times where the original are so weak, people can't hear them, or just ignore them!

If you are driving in India. You only need the red button.

This is a mark rober level threat

In my younger days I owe him 1964, Volvo P 1800. The car was stylish and was a wonderful piece of machinery to own and drive.

It came with an electric shift gear overdrive and perhaps the most brilliant aspect of this car design in the late 1950s was that it had a courtesy horn.


Ever since that experience, I have wished every car has this feature. Do you have an absolutely male that is real, and would make the world a far better place

Thank you for bringing this to the world attention through your platform, which has far more ability to convey messages to more people than I will ever have .

I’m a bit surprised car companies have not picked up on this idea. Having a courtesy horn is a wonderful thing for people with modest, modest dispositions.

I came here because of studies about Acoustic Designers and it makes me really happy to find out that Mark Rober too, is an Acoustic Designer :))
Like, his solution to the issue of car horns is so satisfying!

What a uplifting quote

1:19 The Car is German. The Horn was meant to sound angry.

I love it, loud honks spook me even if they aren't for me.

Dude I had this idea years ago, but I never had the resources or knowledge to bring it to life. Thanks for this :)
