Aftermarket Horns on Amazon are Getting Out of Hand

Torque, who started TTC, is working in product development for Astro Tools. TTC is not the only testing out there, always consider multiple sources when looking at a tool!

We measured at 2m (not 1m) because thats what the horn specs sheets say! The bomb correction should say 10, 000X the Nagasaki FatMan explosion. Bonkers. Also the % greater than Hella can be simplified and corrected as (from top to bottom): 1.15X, 1.19X, 1.72X, 2.29X, 2.57X & 1.46X

I can’t believe that one horn didn’t actually produce 600dB. I thought for sure that product was capable of obliterating the entire solar system.

Props to the guy that recorded the sound of the Krakatoa eruption from 2 metres away.

I noticed this same thing on wish a couple years ago. Something like 7-8000 decibel horn for your truck. I did a lot of research and concluded that obliteration of every atom in the universe would only cost about $30(S&H not included) 😂 Glad someone turned this into a video, you killed it

[theldraspneumonoultramicro]

fun fact: emergency vehicle sirens has a range of 110-129 db, 120 db will cause permanent hearing loss at 2 meters if exposed for more then 30-45 seconds and temporary damage if exposed for around 5-30 seconds, this is why emergency vehicles turn off their sirens if they get stuck in traffic and when they pass through tunnels, if they did not they would cause thousands of cases of temporary and permanent hearing damage.

The transition from the volcano story to the amazon horn was pure comedy gold

[SuperSecretSquirell]

I can only imagine what your neighbors thought when all of them went off at once. Sounded like a comically large crash involving several jingle trucks lol.

[jaysdood]

I can't believe you were so brave as to risk your life by testing the 600dB horn. My thoughts and prayers are with you 🙏😂

[SirWulfrick]

Glad someone finally said this. I've been leaving the following reviews on several Amazon horns:

109db - chainsaw operation
130db - painful to most humans
150db - can break human eardrums
172db - Krakatoa explosion at 100 miles away
175db - one ton of TNT at 250ft
194db - limit of what we can scientifically call "sound" before it just becomes a pressure wave.
...
300db - these horns apparently

I love that based on the seller's descriptions you're actually testing doomsday weapons. "According to the seller this should wipe out my entire city for 28 dollars, let's test it out."

[kennnnn]

I just love the one time in Teen Titans comics when Cyborg used a million decibells of white noise at the enemy. That is like universes of energy lmao.

[michaelcrumlett]

Great video! Kinda bummed that none of these horns ended all life on earth, reversed time, and opened a wormhole to an alternate reality, but it was fun all the same.

[jehdo]

Not gonna lie I thought I was watching a history video and snapped back to reality with the 600db claim 😂

[Potterzilla]

The fact that someone can trigger a 300db horn AT will ANYWHERE on the planet is super villain level of hilarity. Awesome vid

[bobdavelisafrank_]

There's two decibel scales! Your calculator at 4:13 uses a scale of 20 decibels = 10x, and your calculator at 5:36 uses a scale of 10 decibels = 10x -- this is why the second calculator shows about half as much increase as the actual measured amount. (109 is right between 106 and 112!) Your device definitinely measures on a 20db scale according to its results.

[joeystevens]

I love the context you provide for decibals. 300db is just a number without the example

[Kumquat_Lord]

Thank you for mentioning that decibels are logarithmic, seeing the numbers claimed made me laugh. Seriously, those things would probably create a pressure wave big enough to destroy the planet at the advertised volumes

[iwouldrathernot]

I will say the little remote pumps for these horns are a huge limiting factor. I had one I was playing around with and hooked it to 130psi shop air. I was not ready

[aname]

I laughed so hard at the 600db comparison with Krakatoa that was amazing

[RCDuke]

I love the whole one minute and thirty-five second explanation of the loudest recorded sound known to man, then the five second chat of the cheap amazon horn claiming to be twice that and you going "God help us all" XD

Love the video and the testing. Thanks!
