Well no, nothing is as loud as a train except another train or maybe a 1950's era air raid siren.

Regardless it's loud as hell. I can't quantify how loud it is but a normal car horn sounds laughable comparatively.

I'd love to have it tested to see how loud it really is... <starts looking for dB meters>

I've got a few more kills, need some more to make a compilation.

I also was able to use the horn for it's real purpose, freeway driving in Florida. This woman was talking on her phone in the lane next to me, she's about 2M ahead of me on the right, and she starts drifting to the left; her wheels thumping on the lane reflectors. I guess the feel of her car going THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, etc. wasn't enough to distract her from her extremely important cell phone call.

She slowly does creep back into her lane but I think it was more from the lay of the road than her interference.

While she's safely bouncing around in the confines of her lane I figure I should make a break around her so when she crashes, which is clearly going to be at any moment, I don't have to worry about hitting her.

I quickly downshift and briskly accelerate but as our doors meet I notice she is not only drifting into my lane but now she has her BLINKER ON! This retarded woman is actually TRYING to come into the lane and she didn't even bother to look beside her. Maybe that's because she has her head cocked against the window so she can hold her cell phone to her head because she needs her hands for the BOOK SHE IS READING! WHAT THE F*CK!

BBWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA!!!

That woman looked like someone violently shaken from a blissful sleep; her cell phone falling to the floor as she drops her book so she can transfer control of the wheel from her forearms and knees to the proper authority, her hands.

She was frantically hunting for the surely monstrous vehicle that she had just angered when I rolled down my window, raised my hand and shook my finger. I then made the international symbol for the phone, thumb to ear and pinky to mouth, mimed hanging up with the final icing on the cake being a little horn toot while pointing at the woman...

Are you guys having a killer time?

Best story EVER! Anyone who has ever had to deal with a person on their cell phone and driving at the same time, especially a woman, has wanted to do EXACTLY what you did, you're my hero lol.
