    Train air horns, have seem up to 185db, how loud do you want it?
    I think the point where you need Heavy duty ears muffs to avoid immediate deafness is just not enough these days, dont make them how they use to.

    I googled train air horns a while ago, there were "cheap" sets, which were only about 110db, and looked shit, but the serious ones were 10+grand US dollars lol.
    Would love to get one, and as someone drives over a railway crossing, set it off, and watch them boot it.

    I am not 100% on this, but you may want to check if they are legal before you put them in, if that sort of thing bothers you in the event you are pulled over.

    Cheers

    depends on the mood of the cop though, you might have just put it in there as a safety thing.

    air horns are illegal... but as far as I'm aware, if you leave the original horm intact and working, and then have an additional air horn then I dont see the issue.

    but I definitely know you cant 'replace' a stock electric horn for an air horn. 100% sure.
