The main difference between a train horn and an air horn is the sound profile: train horns are designed to mimic the deep, resonant tones of a locomotive, while air horns produce higher pitches and distinctive sounds. Train horns are also generally louder than car horns.
Here are some other differences between train horns and air horns:
Purpose
Train horns are used to warn of a train's approach, movement, or presence at crossings. Air horns are used for signaling in various sports, such as ice hockey, Major League Baseball, and the National Lacrosse League.
Sound
Train horns produce a long, echoing blare that can vary in pitch and duration. Air horns produce a variety of higher pitches and distinctive sounds.
Decibel level
Train horns are very loud, typically ranging from about 90 to 120 decibels, which is almost as loud as a jet airplane.
Operation
Train horns are operated by compressed air that flows from the locomotive's main air reservoir into the horn's power chamber.
You can buy train horns for cars, pickup trucks, and boats. Some train horn kits come with everything you need to set them up.
