Really Loud Horn

News said:

Hi All,

When I was at university - a fella used to ride around with a phenomenally loud (electric I think)
push button horn, can anyone advise where I can buy one of these in the uk ?

Try looking for an Air Zound II. Air powered, pumped up from a normal bike pump.

I used to have a horn matching that description when I was at university (it was on my bike when it
was stolen in 1994). I believe they're still available from H*lf*rds for around a tenner. It took a
PP3 battery IIRC.

I prefer the AirZound, though. It has the great advantage of not needing batteries.

From the website... The horn clips onto your handlebar, and the bottle fits in a standard
waterbottle cage

So I've got my air-horn in one bottle cage, my lights-battery in another. Thats why they started
making those water-bottle backpacks 😉. To keep us gadget people from getting too thirsty

I just remembered it was called a MegaHorn, which enabled me to Google for it. Does this look like

supermotech.co.ukanorak.htmOpen ↗ says it's GBP8 from H*lf*rds.

I did find it slightly frustrating only being able to carry 2 bottles on my wedgie because I had the
AirZound reservoir in the third bottle cage.

It's now velcroed to the rear triangle on my bent, leaving all 3 bottle cages free to hold water
bottles (I almost got a bottle battery for my Lumicycles, until I came across a post pointing out
that the bag battery fits easily in a pocket or a Camelbak).

I've helpfully corrected your top-posting. Don't do it again ;-)

I used to have such a thing. The Air Zound is much better.

My son had one of those on his bike. An AirZound is much better (and much louder).

I fully agree. But the OP specified that he wants an electric horn and isn't interested in an air
horn - his choice.

If I hadn't discovered the AirZound, I'd still be using the MegaHorn and recommending them to anyone
who'd listen.

I use a megahorn. The rubber perished within one year, so it's now held on with string. In extreme
wet (eg Pyrenean storms) the horn sounds like a constipated duck's quack.
