What Train Horn is the Loudest?

That is exactly what I set out to find out. I compiled a list of 22 horns for the test. I took all of the horns out to a large open field and put them to the test with over $10K in testing equipment. Check out the review below for more information.

Only a small sample of the loudest horns where showcased in the above video, below is a full review, sound sample, and test data, from all of the 22 horns tested.

NOTE: About the sound clips, they are all recorded at the same volume level, so if one sounds softer then the others that means it is not as loud. the sound was also recorded as to not ‘clip’ so they may sound softer than you are used too, but it is a faithful representation of what they sound like. Not how loud they sound.

The Results:

At 3 Foot:

And at 100 Foot:
