What is a Horn?

Early models of car had a single horn operating at a single resonant frequency, with a reed made of steel located in the throat of the horn, and supplied with air by a rubber squeeze bulb. Vehicles are now required to be fitted with electrically operated horns.

Car horns are usually electronic klaxons, driven by a flat circular steel diaphragm that has electromagnet acting upon it and is attached to a contactor that repeatedly interrupts the current to the electromagnet. Used as a from of warning signal to other drivers and pedestrians, it is known as tooting/ sounding or honking the horn. There is usually a screw to adjust the distance/tension of the electrical contacts for best operation. A spiral shell horn shape enables the horn to project the sound effectively to sound levels of approximately 107-109 decibels, and current draw 5-6 amperes. Motorists are often encouraged to sound their horn, often by the 'back seat' driver!

Truck horns may be electromagnetic klaxons of similar design, but often are purely acoustic, driven by air from an air compressor which diesel trucks have already on board to operate the air brakes. Such air horns are often used as trim items, with chromed straight horns mounted on top of the cab. This design may also be installed on customized automobiles, using a small electrical compressor.
