$10 “OOOGA” Horn: A Project Waitin’ To Happen
By Chuck Cage
C’mon — tell me you can’t think of a fun application for this $10 old-timey “oooga” horn from Harbor Freight! Think about it: it’s a 12V horn, so you could probably swap it into your car without too much hassle — or maybe into your significant other’s car, if you’re brave enough. If your ATV has a 12V system, it’d work great for clearing drunk dunderheads at your next back-woods booze-up.
And it’s way more interesting and useful than HF’s vaunted electronic fly swatter. No, really.

to knock the electric flyswatter means you have never tried it, it is both hillarious and surprisingly useful! Don’t delieve me, pick one up, its frequentlly on sale.
And yes, the horn is begging for an excuse to have… wire it up to the doorbell…

That horn so wants to be on my old Ford Expedition, friends call it “The Barge” anyway, might as well sound like one.

I put one of these in my Jeep Wrangler. I wish I had put these in my jeep instead… http://www.hornblasters.com/

I’ve got a Stebel Nautilus (http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/2137/) on my Miata, which Does The Job. It’s much higher pitched than, say, a truck horn, but it sounds perfect in a sports car.
It’s also PLENTY loud. Unlike the feeble stock meeper.

On some streets in Houston, blowing such a horn will probably get you shot. But just before the shot is fired, you would have some fun.

That’s not a horn. THIS is a horn:
