Product Information

There are many ways to change the sounds of the bike horn depending on the brand. Some brands come with a selector switch button that lets you choose the type of sound you like.

Another factor to consider in having a bike horn is its size. You will need to make sure that it fits nicely to your handlebar. It should be something that will not take so much space. Likewise, it should not affect the operation of your bikes, such as braking and gear shifting. This appears to be an essential accessory, especially when using cycle lanes with inattentive pedestrians walking along them. If you can find a bike horn that offers other features and functionalities, make it a priority always. For example, a bike horn that can also be used as a bike theft alarm is unique and impressive. You can prioritize this type of product because it brings so much value to you and the bike. Frequently Ask Question Meanwhile, the bike horn is also covered with soft silicone material. If you try to hold the bike horn., it feels very soft and comfortable to the hand. The softness means it will not damage any paint on your bike once mounted on the handlebar.You may be thinking that you can just yell when something happens…and this is true. I find the advantage of the AirZound is you can give a light ‘warning’ tap when you’re not sure what someone is going to do. If you think someone is going to pull out in front of you, when they shouldn’t, you can give a light tap and this usually stops people from doing anything silly. You can see this in action, with this video clip of mine. Watch the Silver car think about going – two short taps of the AirZound air horn and they don’t pull out in front of me. The World's loudest cycle horn. 140dB at source the dB140 puts you in control of your safety because it gives you a way to make people know you’re there even when they aren’t looking.

When conducting my sound testing (shown below), the first blast of the Airzound scared the birds out of nearby trees.

What is an AirZound bike air horn?

When choosing a bike horn, you will need to look for a bell that will alert all unaware pedestrians of your presence. Meaning, it should bring attention to everyone, including those using earbuds when jogging or walking. Another purpose of this bike bell is to provide the biker with a durable and tough bike accessory that will last for a long time. The sounding part of the bell is made with high-quality stainless steel, while the surface is quoted with anti-rust paint. The old-school air horn usually comes with a clamp that will fit the handlebar nicely. To secure the clamp, you will have to screw it tightly until it fits snugly in the handlebar. There are also bike horns that are partially made of ABS materials which is excellent in surviving different types of weather. Silicone materials are also a good idea due to the comfort it brings and is harmless to the bike as well.

The two AAA batteries are included in the box. However, for anyone who plans on using the Hornit long-term, I’d encourage rechargeable batteries to prevent waste.The design is actually stylish, beautiful, and concise, which makes it unique from the outside. It has the ability to enhance the overall appearance of the bicycle once mounted on the handlebar, apart from making you safe during the ride. Looking for a high-quality bike horn can be a challenge with all the options available. My advice is to look for a bike horn made of metal and stainless steel because these materials are known for their durability and toughness.

The main advantage of using compressed air like this is that you can reuse it. Traditional air horns can only be used once, where as this can be pumped up again and again. The electric ones I have seen weren’t very good and I’d be paranoid that they’d run out of battery power when I needed to use them. Some people I know do use electric ones, but these are wired to dynamos. Again, the connections can become loose and dynamos will slow you down a bit and are a little old fashioned. I found that the horn sound profile was the best option for gaining the attention of others. The three bell noises sound grainy and confused several pedestrians during my testing.One of the outstanding features of this product is the quality of sound it gives to you once installed on the bike. This bike horn has the potential to reach up to 120 DB, which should be loud enough to alert anyone on the road with your presence. Definitely better than shouting Oi! Which is the current method of letting car drivers know they have to look *before* they pull out/change lane.
