Halfords high & low note horns.

[Throttled]

I can guess the difference between the Halfords Bike It high and low note horns, but in practice, is one any louder or better than the other?

The Halfords website has the same details for both;

Don't know owt about Halfords horn but the Ducati came with a feeble Italian scooter horn which was horrible. The Denali Sound Bomb was a straight forward plug and play swap. Sounds considerably more authoritive.

Low note for big bikes and high note for little bikes . Obvious when you think about it .

I am happy with the simple swap using the existing wiring terminals.

I had looked at them, go buy and fit them then let's know if its worth it

I fitted one before, it was fine. I did not notice that there were different versions and was wondering if anyone knew why? I do not know whether it was a low or high note one that I previously fitted.

You're supposed to fit them as a pair one of each

 

A high-tone horn produces a more piercing sound. This enables the signal to reach forward and farther. The low-tone horn, with a lower frequency, is better heard at close range. Used together, the two horns maximize signal area coverage, ensuring better safety.

It will be one or t'other. I think I will go for low as I do not want to sound gay.

Fit a 'Nautilus' horn - Can be heard a lot further away!

I wasn't aware gay had a sound

Fitted the low note horn and it sounds just like the other horns I have fitted to bikes. The difference must be marginal.
