What type of horn?

Greetings all, new here from upstate NY, hour east of Buffalo.

Anyone know what type of horn this is? I got it off some site a while back. Did not come with instructions. Only have 1 blue wire coming out of it as shown in the pictures . Was trying to make my wimpy OEM horm louder but not sure how to hook this up. Thanks in advance!

 

Blue wire to power from relay, ground is through the mount.
Basic Chinese snail horn. Sound will be kind of meh, you should have a little bit if adjustability in the tone by taking the cap off and there should be an adjustment screw that you can turn in for higher tone and out for lower tone. But it won't be much difference.

 

dang it, should have known to buy Chinese junk, thank you for the info.

 

Do a search for 4 note train horns. You will NOT be disappointed if you go that route. Older GM cars had 4 horns, each a different note, and it sounded like train horns. It's a fairly easy install. If I can do it anyone can.

 

I went with the horn from Jeepers Creepers.

I wanted to get one of their horns, but not being waterproof kind of killed the idea.

I have one on my motorcycle.

 

Can google that part number and it comes up on eBay.

That said my Tacoma is my third vehicle with Hella's. They look cool asf and are super loud.

 

Train horn sounds good! So annoyed by drivers sitting on green light/arrow on their phones or just talking. Figure a LOUD horn will remind them to pay attention when they're on the road.

I used to have twin freight truck horns from... probably the 70s? They were old stuff my grandfather had from his logging days. Had a 5-7ish gallon tank stuck up in my rear bumper, big ol' solenoid, and ran dual lines everywhere to get enough flow to properly power the two horns. My wife really misses it, but I was plagued with leaks with all the connections and some back through the cheap compressor I had. The bell of one of them finally vibrated/corroded off as they were mounted hidden under the truck and I tossed the whole mess. My next truck will definitely be rocking a big horn setup!

 

Looks like a knockoff of the Lucas Windtone horns from the 50s -- perhaps going back to the 30s. I have two of almost exactly that horn on my 1962 Triumph TR3. They're normally in pairs with two different frequencies (and are marked Low and High) to take advantage of harmonics. The vintage ones, at least, aren't particularly loud.

 

Friend of mine put a train horn in his MGB...Funnier than hell !

 

Very happy with my Piaa superior bass horns.

 

Thanks everyone for the info and inputs. I will install what I've shown and see what peeps it makes, it not louder than OEM, I'll search for a train horn.

 

Need to get one of these for driving through the Walmart parking lot.

 

I'm looking for something to remind people that there's other drivers waiting at the traffic light while they're either distracted by their phone or entrenched in a conversations, maybe make their soul jump out of their body for a second lol , been stuck at the light couple time since they did not move till the light started turning yellow

 

For those instances, a train horn is a no-no.
Here ya go.

 

thats too much work! I just want to push a button lol
