Klaxons were first fitted to automobiles and bicycles in 1908. They were originally powered by six-volt dry cells, and from 1911 by rechargeable batteries. Later hand-powered versions were used as military evacuation alarms and factory sirens. They were also used as submarine dive and surface alarms beginning in the Second World War. The English company Klaxon Signals Ltd. has been based in Oldham, England for the last 80 years, [ when?] with premises also in Birmingham.

Ships signal to each other and to the shore with air horns, sometimes called whistles, that are driven with compressed air or from steam tapped from the power plant. Low frequencies are used, because they travel further than high frequencies; horns from ships have been heard as far as fifteen kilometres (ten miles). [1] Traditionally, the lower the frequency, the larger the ship. The RMS Queen Mary, an ocean liner launched in 1934, had three horns based on 55Hz (corresponding to A1 ), a frequency chosen because it was low enough that the very loud sound of it would not be painful to the passengers. [2] Modern International Maritime Organization regulations specify that ships' horn frequencies be in the range 70–200Hz (corresponding to C ♯ 2-G 3) for vessels that are over 200m (660ft) in length. For vessels between 200 and 75m (660 and 250ft) the range is 130–350Hz and for vessels under 75m (250ft) it is 70–700Hz. [3] With the old horn removed, you can proceed to wiring and mounting the new horn in its place. As mentioned above, if there are any error codes, you can use a diagnostic tool to clear them from the dash. Funny Car HornsA horn grille is a part of some designs of car or other motor vehicle that has an electric horn, such as a motor scooter. The Tornado Car Horn by Marco is the loudest car horn you can buy at 151dB. This not only beats the competitors, it dominates them by a country mile.

The Moflash Company discontinued the Klaxet hooter in 2013, but continued to produce the A1 hooter, the only original Klaxon left in production.For use off the road, there are a number of “funny” car horns that are available. Personally, the all time favorite and the best funny car horn has to be the Dixie horn, which is a car horn everyone loves. To begin to install a car horn, you will firstly need to find your horn, which is normally located on the radiator support or immediately behind the radiator and the grille. A horn is normally circular in shape with two wires coming from it. Disconnect the wires

The majority of loud car horns are simple upgrades that don’t require a compressor for producing a loud noise. However, some may require small adjustments depending upon your vehicle but overall, its an easy modification. that are both louder and lower in frequency than motor vehicle horns. Operated by compressed air from the train's air brake system, their sound level is 146–175dB. In the United States, train horns are required to have a minimum sound level of 96dB and a maximum sound level of 110dB at 100ft (30m) in front of the train.
