I replaced my factory horn with these from HelIa. Much louder than stock.
I have been considering one of these electronic horns from Lamphus. My thoughts are that, being an electronic sound, it would be more noticeable. The general public seem to be immune to the sound of a normal horn. It claims to draw just over 4 amps. Youtube videos seem to be loud.

Being in LE the better part of my life, the electronic sound doesn't move people any better than anything else. It is unique to a POV so it may work better. The Tornado is pretty loud and it was $44.50. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/pr…tle_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Are you running directly from the factory horn circuit?
When I changed to the Hella horns, one of my goals was to make it louder while still being able to use the factory circuit. Basically, plug and play (no additional wiring).
I thought about going with one of these mini air horns but, most pull around 20 amps and would have required a relay and dedicated power. Not really a big deal.... I will claim lazy at the time.
BTW.... I like your avatar. I assume you were originally from New England?

Yep to the New England and yes to the original horn circuit. I talked to the service manager at the shop where I bought the SS. He said as long as it was one of the "plug and play" types and only pulls 17-20 amps I'd be ok..

Horn upgrade is on my mod list. Have been working on lighting upgrades first.

Slingmods has a plug and play air horn they sell for about $100. Best part of the Flosser air horn is that there is no wire cutting or splicing of wires involved. It plugs into a supplied wiring "T" between your existing horn and power and leaves your existing horn operating in conjunction with new air horn. Love mine, sound is awesome. Find someone with one and you will see the difference. I think Slingmods has a video posted with their test. Just my 2 cents. Good luck in what ever you decide.

Probably not safe anymore to install one of those old ones that play Dixie.

I like mine also. Maybe some other people don’t but I really don’t care if that stupid jerk can’t see me, he will hear me.

Sure, there are times when a good honk is necessary, but for everyday driving, I think a more nuanced approach is key. A short, firm tap of the horn is usually enough to get someone's attention without coming across like a road rage stereotype. If you're really set on an upgrade, maybe consider a multi-tone air horn with different sounds for different situations. Something like the ones Boss Horn:https://bosshorn.com makes could be a good compromise. It offers a variety of sounds, from a mellow warning to a more assertive attention getter. Ultimately, the key is using your horn strategically – a tool in your toolbox, not a default setting.
