Tax payer here. Dear military industrial complex, if you're going to spend so much damn funding on these things, could you have the common decency and expression of some level of functional intelligence to give the kids that sign up years of their lives away to operate some of the death traps yall produce the kind of alarm system that inspires them to not regret their decision dedicating those years in service of a country that would apparently give them digital dogfarts instead? Maybe there is a sonic component to their reasoning, like it resonates in the hull and could be used to figure out where the sub is..... but honestly if that were the case Id have more issue with international relations being that tense where a freaking dive horn would give up the game..... Just give em the fucking klaxon for friggs sake. Signed, one of many who funded your shit alarm. ps - Im sorry sailor, I didnt know they screwed the pooch that bad....

Depending on you car, you may get an even better reaction when getting tires/ a rotation. If you ask them to relearn the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System/Sensor) there's a chance (depending on manufacturer) that the horn will honk. Most commonly on GM cars and trucks. What happens is the car is put into TPMS Relearn Mode; the horn will honk twice. After that, they will have to trigger each sensor (1 per tire) and once the car recognizes that a sensor has been triggered, it'll honk one more time. This will leave you with 8 short honks. I hate doing this with regular car honks... I don't want this with louder horns. The whole point of relearning the sensors is so the vehicle knows which sensors it needs to keep track of. Some cars even tell you what pressure the tires are at, and this is nice except most shops don't relearn the sensors, so you may see it says your front passenger side tire is low, when its actually your driver rear, or you driver front, or your passenger rear. If your vehicle does show where the tires are, make sure they relearn the sensors every time you get a rotation or new tires. They cant charge you because technically it could be considered "disabling a safety feature" which in the eyes of DOT any safety feature is equal to all... disable a tire light, just as bad as disabling the airbags. Being said, this is more of a technicality, and most places wont put up much of a fight if you tell them that information. They'll assume you know what you're talking about and they'll know its an uphill battle. I did not mean to type out a whole essay. One thing lead to another, and this is what I'm left with. I'm sorry

@@marccolten9801 wanna talk about death machines… I had a customer who was worried about his rear brakes. He got them done at some sketchy place. Let me just list some of the issues…. The pitman arm (what steers the car) has so much play in it, the rear hubs had play, I don’t even know how the balljoints were in place, they’re just waiting to fall out. It has engine codes, ABS codes, one of the leaf spring shackle’s u bolt was snapped- on both sides, the place he had it worked on just gave him his parking brake saying it “fell off” (it has drums and that means the parking brake is required for it to function), the brake pedal was super soft and unresponsive, there was an old brake line that was just resting in the back of the truck, any time you’d put it in drive it would jolt forward, both front swaybar links were snapped, one of the rear brake cylinders was spewing fluid, the rear shocks were completely blown, one of the rubber bushings was just missing from one of the shocks, it leaked trans fluid, and best of all… there were 3 holes in the transmission… just straight up 3 holes? All of which looked to be done by the manufacturer. 2 of which had threads. There’s more if you want. Customer doesn’t care about any food that… just wants his brakes to work.

Oh please,, everyone know submarines are in the water... not the city. FACTS: They have STRICT laws about diving horns ...which prevented the end of the world. A couple weeks ago I was in my Ohio-class nuclear submarine deciding which continent to obliterate when a Seawolf submarine pulled me over and gave me a ticket for the wrong diving horn. They searched my vessel and temporarily impounded my 24 ballistic missiles with MIRV warheads until I installed the correct diving horn and paid the $200 fine.

Sand down a perfectly beautiful factory black paint job to put 'flames' on the hood, fenders & into the doors! The guy did an excellent job! Anyway, back to the horn. Everyone knew when I was around, as I DID make the 'ah-OOO-gah' my primary horn. I even had the state motor vehicle inspectors grinning & laughing. They said that the horn was DEFINATELY loud enough!! Anyway, I just sold the car to my daughter's girlfriend's dad about a month ago. I forgot to tell the guy about the horn. He hasn't gotten around to getting it running yet, but I'm sure my daughter will get a text about the horn. (PS- It never got wet, so I'm guessing that it still works!)

The older kids helped tutor the younger kids. 12 year-olds were in 5th grade, unless they scored higher on the tests and could skip some grades. But back then the really old cars were much simpler to repair and restore than cars of today. A toolbox might have 3 or 4 wrenches, a hacksaw, one flatbit screwdriver, a hammer and a coil of baling wire. This could fit in a small box beneath the seat. And kids helped work on cars from an early age, as their smaller hands could reach into places a grownups couldnt.

I'm not really sure if what we heard was really the sound created when he closed the circuit. If it was and was as loud as it's supposed to be, there would have been clipping in the recorded audio. He would have had to record the klaxon with other settings than for his voice recording. What I'm trying to say is that your perception of the sound being louder than you expected is skewed as Alec most likely placed the sound and deliberately set the loudness in post. I'm not suggesting this type of horn wasn't fairly loud if you stood right in front of it when it goes off.

A lot of them weren't "cranked" in the manner of twisting a handle in a circle. They used a rack and pinion with the rack sitting along side the flywheel inside. The device would be mounted to the side of the car near the driver (like on the door post or windshield pillar) and said operator would mash the top of the rack. This would spin up the flywheel for a quick burst. This is the same way those thumb-drive sparkler toys worked.

As we were planning on leaving the capital to go traveling around the country, we had to have our car outfitted, in addition to the regular horn, with a "klaxon de brousse" (a bush klaxon), a super loud horn, that we'd use before every major curve in the road, so that we could make our presence known, up to a kilometre ahead, to the drivers of the huge logging trucks careening recklessly on the narrow laterite dirt mountain roads. It was quite striking hearing our little white Renault 4 howling like an old-timey truck.
