best ive seen was the intercity 125 train horn on a scania lorry, did it make you jump as it came in the yard, was a scouse firm back in the 80s  

I've got a set of them still Packed away in the shed for a suitable vehicle. Might even be the mig as the horn has stopped working

.....ahorn 2 be legal has to omit a single tone. .......

It can't be as simple as that. My Omega & Astra have twin tone electric horns 500Hz & 400Hz  

How about these ... clicky   Should wake a few pedestrians up!

When we were on about having air horns on the Rangey we saw a set that make a Cow Mooing sound, we wet ourselves

Supose you have a bit more room on a 2.0

The vast majority of cars have twin tone horns, both working on different frequencies at the same time, to produce one single not.  Not that I'm a piano player, the same as hitting a few keys at the same time to make one noise instead of one finger on one key.

Digging the dusty gloom of my memory, I think its onle legal to use 'musical' horns on a pre 1972 registered vehicle.  Any other use either as the main audible warning instrument or as the plaything for a bored eejit, is naughty and entirely nickable....

We need to remember that there is a difference between 'twin tone' and musical (alternating) horns. As said many horns and basic air horns are twin tone and legal on all cars. Musical (alternating) horns are OK pre 1972, even as main horn. Alternating dee dah horns, like the Police are not legal, though I used to have an ambulance that I fitted them too, cos the electric dee dah stopped working, got them from the local ambulance workshops, it also had blue lights and 65 mph flat out. It also had a transmiter fitted that when switched on with the blue lights turned traffic lights to green for you. Bedford J series......
