Thread: Is it too Loud?

YouTube - Horn For Halloween 2009

Is there any laws against loud objects?
Could this horn hurt someone in a way?

Wow, that is loud. The Tot's would jump out of their shoes. I like the effect but if you are close to it when it goes off that might not be good for the ears. What else are you going to have in your yard? Will it dominate or drown out your haunt when it goes off?

I was thinking of putting it inside of a car i have on my lawn..maybe it wouldn't be as loud, if not i will just have to regulate the air and control the sound.

If its inside the car it definetly will cut down on the sound. This should make for a great prop I think! Send a pic to two after you get it all together.

Ouch - hope you have liability insurance for ear damage ... great concept but way too loud. Even a regular car horn would do the trick. A quick short blast. Gotta love the jump factor though - to the moon!!

Most incorporated towns and even HOAs have some sort of law about sound levels... it's not enforced unless someone reports you for it, most of the time.

I'd think it just being right out in the open would be too loud, but in the car would muffle it just enough to not cause hearing damage.

Reminds me of a great classic dark ride scare, tho. The one where you're walking down a hall/tunnel and suddenly there are HEADLIGHTS and a loud car horn coming RIGHT AT YOU!

(you could rig up something like that in a dark garage or something...)

in a word...yes! In 4 words...Children will crap themselves!

That is way too loud! Hahaha! You would most likely have the police come to your home for exceeding neighborhood noise ordinances. Unless the horn will be used in a hayride, I would think twice about doing it.

maybe you can add a horn sillencer to each of the horns. that way its still loud just not "brown note" loud!

1. Yes, it's too loud.
2. Yes, there are noise ordinances, check your City, County, State laws.
3. Yes, It could hurt someone.
I would be very very careful with that prop!

Aaaww! Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (Disneyworld) was like that! So fun - your car would take you down the track until it ended in the final scene where you were staring at a train's main engine light coming straight for you! The sound of the train was loud - but not TOO loud. Just when you thought you would get run over by the train - the doors swung open and the ride was over. Whew! The effect was as much visual as audio. Loved that ride.
