I haven't heard anyone hear it :)
Using that horn on someone you KNOW is gonna do something stupid - once they do - is positively comical!! Flying elbows and a mad swerve back into their lane, followed by a head swivel to look for the Big Truck that almost creamed them.

I "get to" use my horn every couple months. Usually on the Beltway.

VERY LOUD!

I bought this horn for my Kawasaki Drifter 800 and it fit fine in spot for the original horn. This is the LOUDEST horn you will ever find and EVERYONE hears and IMMEDIATELY responds to it.

Be sure to remember that you, the rider, will be closer to the horn than anyone on the road - it will hurt your ears - so you will use it only when really necessary.

Installed the Chrome Stebel Nautilus horn on my S83 Boulevard a couple of months ago. It's GREAT, quite an attention-getter.
The way mine was mounted, the air intake was kind of pointed toward the front, the instructions recommend a hose directed to the rear, so road debris doesn't collect (and get consumed) in the air intake.
I've also heard, several have died a quiet death after a couple of months...it's possible they had some foreign objects (road grit) drawn into the compressor.

Anyhoooo, I give a Thumbs Up to the Stebel Nautilus Horn.... I'm thinking of getting on for my Corolla.

I had to replace the relay in my SNC, after riding some distance, in HEAVY rain. The original relay wasn't terribly high quality, but the Radio Shack one has performed as needed ever since.
