@FreakyFwoof Some of those engines don't sound too good, spluttering and spitting. I didn't think that was normal even for those.
@x0 Some people mod their vehicles to do that on purpose honestly. I think it's very intentional.
@FreakyFwoof Also, Meeeeeep! Meep meep meeeeeep meeeeeeeeeeeep! Meep meeeep meep!
@x0 @FreakyFwoof I was just going to say, all the horns lol
@MariahL @x0 I've always thought that non-beep horns say 'Fad' ever since I was a kid. #Onomatopoeia is fun.
@FreakyFwoof @MariahL I hear something closer to haw or faw. And the little disk ones go meep. Like the roadrunner.
@x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL So, generally, I hear faf, meep and the really boring generic single tones that don't really exist in anything modern just kinda go, uh.
@BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof @MariahL Oh and loud doplaring big rig horns go huff huuuuuuuh!
@x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL My dad has this on his 1965 Ford F100 attached to a pullchain on the steering column. When I recorded this, it was almost out of air.
@BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof @MariahL OK now that is either hoot or toot. Or maybe hurt?
@BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof @MariahL I wonder if there's a horn somewhere that sounds like "faaaaart!"
@x0 @BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof @MariahL Next time I'm in India, I'll record some street traffic sounds for all of you. Trust me when I say you've never heard the variety of toots, boops, farts, horns, and other sounds coming out of vehicles.
@ppatel @x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL I've never been there, but I've heard recordings. Yeah, it's colorful.
@BorrisInABox @x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL "Colorful" is the milder description for it.
@BorrisInABox @x0 @MariahL Kind of fnurp.
@FreakyFwoof @x0 @MariahL Yeah. It has a little less fif when it has more air. Or, at least it did. No idea about it's state these days, though it's still around, I think. That was recorded in 2005. He put air in it the next day, but my recording of that is kind of broken.
@FreakyFwoof @MariahL My mom's car has two horns. The one that you trigger with the actual button on the wheel goes hooooonk in a minor third. But when you lock the car with the clicker when no one is in it and all the doors are closed, it quietly goes "meep" at you
@x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL This thread has made my day, thank you.
I think klaxons need to make a comeback, you know the awuuuuuga things.
@KaraLG84 @x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL There was a Technology Connections video about those where he hooked one up to a battery and was surprised by how FMEEEEPING loud it was.
@BorrisInABox @x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL you read my mind.
@BorrisInABox @x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL There's someone round here that has a airhorn that plays tunes, mainly the Final Countdown or Sandstorm. But none of the notes are the right ones so it sounds hilarious.
@KaraLG84 @BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof @MariahL Wait, a novelty horn playing sandstorm? I need to hear this
@KaraLG84 @x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL LOL, Sandstorm of all things?
@BorrisInABox @x0 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL Yeah, that's right.
@BorrisInABox @KaraLG84 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL Oh yeah he actually censored himself with a Gary horn like holy f*hooooonk* this thing is loud!
@x0 @KaraLG84 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL Speaking of interesting car horn things, I only saw this once, but someone had a car (I think it was a Cadillac) that had four horns. D, F, A and C. Made a cool chord.
@BorrisInABox @KaraLG84 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL Huh, that sounds vaguely like the kind of chords you'd expect from a train
@x0 @KaraLG84 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL Yeah, sorta but not quite.
@BorrisInABox @KaraLG84 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL Some YouTube fuckers actually somehow mounted a train horn on their truck or something and made a video of them startling the hell out of everybody. I think that's actually against the law.
@FreakyFwoof Gotta love how the majority of them have the meepy horns, only like two of them have proper trumpet honk horns, what Tech Connections called the Gary horn
@FreakyFwoof @x0 It sounded pretty intentional since the sounds were consistently consistent. And a few of them sounded really cool.
@FreakyFwoof oh my god this is amazing
@FreakyFwoof Such a variety of motorcycle sounds! Wow!
@FreakyFwoof I mean cmon. if you were sighted. you gotta admit, getting on those big beefy machines would be a thrill hahahah
@bermudianbrit Course. I've been on the back of a few. Mad thrill.
