A sound signal on a car is not just a thing with which you can warn pedestrians and other road users of your existence. Often, domestic motorists use this part in order to simply show off in front of all the tuning. However, the standard sound signal on a car can hardly be like that, so our craftsmen remove it and install a new, more powerful and aggressive one.

As for the choice of such instruments, it is not necessary to adhere to GOST obligations, since the legislation does not specify what kind of sound this or that horn should have. However, for the installation of special signals (siren or the so-called "quacks") GAI officers can take measures against you, since such things are implicitly prohibited in Russia for ordinary motorists.

Regular horns for all cars are different, but,despite this, their sound sometimes seems the same. In order to stand out from the rest, tuning enthusiasts choose a sound signal on a car with a higher frequency. To choose a similar means for sounding, you can go in several ways. The first is to install a part purchased at disassembly from another car model. It's fast and cheap. However, you can hardly stand out from the crowd. Companies working in the field of tuning are developing more and more new tools for extraordinary people. It can be a pneumatic horn, giving out a formidable and monotonous horn, like a truck, or a powerful sound signal on a car from a train. However, in this case, you will have to buy a lot of additional equipment, install more efficient batteries and equip the car with a special compressor for pumping air. Although if you look at the future result, we can say with confidence that installing an audible signal on a pneumatic car costs that kind of money.

For those who do not want to radically change the sound of their iron friend, you can simply buy two identical horns, and not necessarily from another car. So you will significantly increase the frequency of the sound, but then be prepared for regular battery discharges or replacing it with a more powerful one.

Speaking specifically about manufacturers, domestic products from the Lyskovskaya company can serve as the best budget option. FIAMM produces horns of equally high quality and affordable prices.

For those who do not want to purchase a Russian car horn for their car, there are also imported analogues. Among them, motorists note the Turkish HI-DO, the price of which does not exceed 400 rubles. Japanese products are of the highest quality, so their cost can reach 5 thousand rubles. However, on the market and even in some stores it is easy to find options for 1700 rubles.

In any case, you will get a new sound of the horn, but whether it will be just louder or also shy for others depends on your financial capabilities and, of course, on your imagination.
