Question:
Is there a recording of what it sounds like?
Answer: I do not have recording. I can tell you that it is very loud .It is a legal seagoing warning , distress signal. Learn to use it by blowing to the side of it. No batteries just hot air.....

I would compare it to extremely loud duck call sound.

Question:
Wonder if this would work to force neighbors to turn down TV/stereo system so don't wake up w/severe or migraine headache at 4am every day
Answer: It's a loud horn, but it might not be loud enough to make them shut off their TV/stereo. An air driven horn might be more effective. But maybe you should just have a nice calm talk with them during the day when tensions wouldn't be so high.

I bought silicone earplugs and they worked like a charm. You cover your whole outer ear with them and they block out most of the noise. You could always soundproof your condo but if it’s an apartment. I put Styrofoam on my window and covered it with two cheap tarpolians so I don’t wake you up at 6 AM hearing cars start.And pray. Good luck!
Question:
Hi! I received this today and I know this sounds dumb but I am not sure how to work it? LOL can anyone help?
Answer: The key is to make sure the blue plastic tube is pushed all of the way in to seal in the air. One tube in gives a higher pitch than both tubes. It's really loud, haven't tried it outdoors yet. You don't have to blow very hard, and it does work.

Hole in the side, I know it took me a bit to figure it out.

Blow into the hole in the side. It is very loud so I would suggest using those rubber ear plugs and do not try it in the house. It is really meant for outdoor use.

Blow in the unmarked hole in the side of the horn. Has anyone found a way to attach a length of tubing to the side port to prtmit mounting it up a few feet to keep from going deaf?

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice but I'll add a plastic 90 elbow to make it better

Loud! But I wish the end was curved at a 90 degree so the sound would be directed in front of you instead of towards the side of your head and ear.
I put about a 6" length of clear vinyl (aquarium) tubing in the horn blow hole so I can hold the horn farther away from my head (ears) when I blow the horn.
5.0 out of 5 stars Loud, sturdy, variable pitch, pocket size

After learning about the existence of these human-powered, kazoo-like horns I bought three different kinds. From high to low price: the "Attwood Bellow Signal Horn", the "SeaSense Safety Blaster Horn", and the "Coghlan's Emergency Survival Horn".
All allow you to simply blow to make a loud, kazoo-like sound.
All allow you to replace the vibrating membrane with any thin sheet of plastic (such as plastic wrap).
All are made of hard plastic and should be impervious to water damage, although the Coughland is made of a cheaper, more brittle plastic, while the SeaSense is of a more robust plastic, with the Atwood in between.
In loudness, the Coughland was the softest, while the SeaSense and Atwood seemed equally very loud. It was easy with the Atwood to blow softer or harder to make the sound quieter or louder -- not so easy with the others.
In pitch, the Coughland was the lowest, the Atwood in the middle and the SeaSense was the highest. Uniquely, the SeaSense can easily be configured to produce three different pitches -- which might make a difference depending upon the context (e.g. on open water vs in a forest or in a mountain valley).
In size, the Coughland and SeaSense were about equal and could if needed fit into most pockets, the Atwood was two to three times as large.
In price, the Atwood was three times the price of the other two.
The Coughland and SeaSense both emit sound to the left and right (near your ears). Cupping your hands behind the left & right ends shield your ears a little from the loudness. The Atwood emits sound forward and away from you, which helps a little. All of them will be loud to your ears no matter what you do.

This makes a distinct noise coyotes seem to respond to. They don't seem to respond to whistles anymore, staring at my 3 dogs through the fence like they're a buffet as I blew the loudest whistle sold. I've had better luck with this, and several neighbors bought one after a string of pet attacks. It's in 2 pieces if dropped, so be careful that both pieces are back together. It makes a huge foghorn type noise with minimal effort, and hangs on my back door at all times.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my needs!

Great signaling device! Easy to use. So loud, I almost need earplugs when blowing it full out. HOwever, it is also easy to regulate how loud by how much you blow into the device. It is super easy, however, to blow it its loudest.
It does not sound like a regular whistle, which is a very high-pitched sound. The sound is not as high, making it more audible in certain situations. It does have the tone and audible range of a duck call, but is does not sound like a duck call. It has a more steady sound like a whistle, but again, slightly lower-pitched .
It is larger than I expected...about the size of a small air-horn....it makes carrying more bundle-some but makes handling easier. It is more dependable than an air-horn in that it cannot run out of air when you need it most.
Love the color....it is a beautiful blue! The lanyard could definitely be longer....it is too short (my only criticism). The other reviewers said it didn't work at first because they were blowing in the wrong place, but the device is (just now? or always has been?) clearly marked right on it how to use, as pictured in my 2nd image provided. The first image should give you an idea of the size of the device since I shot it in my hand.
Overall, it was just what I was looking for in my particular applications: 1. a loud signal while hiking to scare off unwanted wildlife (bears and mountain lions), 2, a loud signal to ward off loose dogs while urban walking, 3. an emergency signal for both urban and wilderness, 4. an emergency signal for when I am volunteering in my local animal shelter. I always worried about the air-horns for this because I have had them fail and also run out of air.
This is so much better than all the emergency whistles I have purchased and much better than an air horn.
5.0 out of 5 stars Blast the shouters with this Horn.

Bought this because of how often drivers just aren't paying attention to pedestrians. I can't tell you how many times I've been halfway through a crosswalk and some distracted, in a hurry driver decides to go. What's so crazy is that they often never even notice how close they've come to running me down!
Secondly, I bought this because of the shouters. You know them, the dudes, sometimes, though it's rare, it's women, who shout from cars at pedestrians and cyclists. I don't know why this do this or what they hope to gain from it, but I've had a ton of insults screamed at me from speeding cars and I'd like to give them a loud little blast back when I can. Maybe it will make them think twice about yelling, probably not, but it makes me feel better to feel like I am doing something to counter the crazy.
This blaster horn is really loud. Much louder than the metal whistle I used to carry. It is pretty lightweight and is the perfect size to carry on a lanyard around your neck while walking, biking or whatever. The only problem is unlike a whistle that you can use repeatedly without hands, you have to hold this horn up to your mouth to use it, but the sound level is so much higher so, to me, it's worth it.
