Submarines. I served on a submarine. We had a dive alarm that attempted to replicate the klaxon but sounded like an elephant getting kicked in the nuts. We installed an old-timey klaxon and played it over the 1MC announcing system when diving. It made us feel more submariney.
Mmmm... now I wonder how does someone kick an elephant in the nuts?
I would argue that the normal klaxon already sounds like an elephant getting kicked in the nuts

"Through the magic of buying two..." might be my favorite reoccurring joke.

Might be a stretch, but another thing to notice in this case: as he's putting down parts of it, he makes two thumps and a kind-of-a cymbal hit with them. Literal badum-tshh, though not in the same rhythm
Submariner here.
We no longer have klaxons installed as standard equipment. The new version runs from the announcing system (each alarm is a different circuit card) and sounds a bit like several dogs dying, so we often find old klaxons from decommissioned subs and wire them in on the sly.
The new ones should say "Everyone fart really hard so somone up above hears us?".... Sorry bud, I hear sub I can't help thinking of "Down Periscope"...lol
Thank you & your family for your service!

Tax payer here. Dear military industrial complex, if you're going to spend so much damn funding on these things, could you have the common decency and expression of some level of functional intelligence to give the kids that sign up years of their lives away to operate some of the death traps yall produce the kind of alarm system that inspires them to not regret their decision dedicating those years in service of a country that would apparently give them digital dogfarts instead?
Maybe there is a sonic component to their reasoning, like it resonates in the hull and could be used to figure out where the sub is..... but honestly if that were the case Id have more issue with international relations being that tense where a freaking dive horn would give up the game..... Just give em the fucking klaxon for friggs sake.
Signed, one of many who funded your shit alarm.

I wonder if his neighbors were wondering why there was a traffic jam in his house.
It's a good thing that his studio is in the basement of a house in a rural area!
Don't be silly, of course they weren't. They were, however, wondering why there was a submarine battle going on in there.
I wonder whether he still has neighbours. I wonder whether he has been institutionalised yet, without access to technology and old stuff.
My theory is this video was filmed a long time ago, and is how he got his level 2 charger installed "if you don't install my charger, I'll play with the horns again" "oh god no, give him the damn charger"
You mean his Neighbor wondering why is there a submarine going to dive in his house.

It was surprisingly accurate.
@@YostPeter It was a very... pleased sounding horn, though: "a-HOOOO-ahhhh!"
Totaly not a way to tell a car to Frick Off
Amen. That had me floored, the rest of the video, however solid, is struggling to get my attention after that glorious sound! It sounded even more like a klaxon than a klaxon!!
You could use his voice audio and allowed speaker as a horn.
I just got my emissions test done and every time they moved a car they would hit the horn a couple times. Just being able to watch through the windows at the testers reactions would make that horn worth it.
Dew it
Depending on you car, you may get an even better reaction when getting tires/ a rotation. If you ask them to relearn the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System/Sensor) there's a chance (depending on manufacturer) that the horn will honk. Most commonly on GM cars and trucks.
What happens is the car is put into TPMS Relearn Mode; the horn will honk twice. After that, they will have to trigger each sensor (1 per tire) and once the car recognizes that a sensor has been triggered, it'll honk one more time. This will leave you with 8 short honks. I hate doing this with regular car honks... I don't want this with louder horns.
The whole point of relearning the sensors is so the vehicle knows which sensors it needs to keep track of. Some cars even tell you what pressure the tires are at, and this is nice except most shops don't relearn the sensors, so you may see it says your front passenger side tire is low, when its actually your driver rear, or you driver front, or your passenger rear. If your vehicle does show where the tires are, make sure they relearn the sensors every time you get a rotation or new tires. They cant charge you because technically it could be considered "disabling a safety feature" which in the eyes of DOT any safety feature is equal to all... disable a tire light, just as bad as disabling the airbags. Being said, this is more of a technicality, and most places wont put up much of a fight if you tell them that information. They'll assume you know what you're talking about and they'll know its an uphill battle.
I did not mean to type out a whole essay. One thing lead to another, and this is what I'm left with. I'm sorry
When I lived in NJ the emission test included EVERYTHING but the sound system - lights, horn, brakes. Here in Georgia they check NOTHING. All the cars around you are death machines but no harmful emissions.
@@marccolten9801 wanna talk about death machines… I had a customer who was worried about his rear brakes. He got them done at some sketchy place. Let me just list some of the issues…. The pitman arm (what steers the car) has so much play in it, the rear hubs had play, I don’t even know how the balljoints were in place, they’re just waiting to fall out. It has engine codes, ABS codes, one of the leaf spring shackle’s u bolt was snapped- on both sides, the place he had it worked on just gave him his parking brake saying it “fell off” (it has drums and that means the parking brake is required for it to function), the brake pedal was super soft and unresponsive, there was an old brake line that was just resting in the back of the truck, any time you’d put it in drive it would jolt forward, both front swaybar links were snapped, one of the rear brake cylinders was spewing fluid, the rear shocks were completely blown, one of the rubber bushings was just missing from one of the shocks, it leaked trans fluid, and best of all… there were 3 holes in the transmission… just straight up 3 holes? All of which looked to be done by the manufacturer. 2 of which had threads. There’s more if you want.
Customer doesn’t care about any food that… just wants his brakes to work.
@@congruentcrib As somone from the UK, Oof. That would not be road legal.
My family’s car had a klaxon horn on it, we did indeed install it separately from the main horn.
We mostly used it for jokes and scaring people, they are very, very loud.
Edit: I am perfectly aware of the usage of a/an. Proofreading my writing for a TH-cam comment is not something I bother to do.
“An klaxon”
I've done the same thing. It really wakes up people with their nose in their phone!
@@DryPaperHammerBro Yes, "A Klaxon", not "An Klaxon" It's bad enough the letter 'H' gets abused like that...... A herb, not An Herb!
@@neilforbes416 while i know and acknowledge it isnt correct, saying "an herb" rolls off the tongue better because its pronounced "erb" by everyone around me.
@@neilforbes416 Depends how you pronounce "herb". If you say it with a hard "h", like you'd say at the start of "huh", then "a herb" is correct. If you say it with no "h", like if you pronounced "huh" as "uh", then "an herb" is correct.
Basically, a/an doesn't depend on whether the next *letter* is a consonant, it depends whether the next *sound* is a consonant - otherwise it'd be a hour and an uniform.
I didn’t take that noise warning seriously enough.
😂🤣🤣🤣
I go the other way. I muted it... And loved his face.
Saaaaame! Lmao
Same
I read this before he used that horn and I'm glad I did.
I turned my sound down to the point where it was almost on mute and it was still loud.
3:13 - That sound warning is no joke, I can barely hear him speaking but the horn was loud enough to make me jump.
yea it scared the %$& out of me XD
yeah i was looking at my breakfast when it popped up, frightening mistake
Nice avatar, DST is lots of fun
I even read this comment, waited at the t/s, still jumped lol
It made me laugh instead of scare me
I’ve had one of these installed on my car for about two years. I hardly ever use my horn, and every time I do, I’ve completely forgotten about it and it scares me every time.
LOL!!
just wait till you accidently set the alarm off

The initial sounding of the klaxon horn and the fear response to it combine to create a stunning and hilarious audio-visual experience that I hope to pass on to my progeny in the future.
I can't stop laughing from the car alarm diving joke. I got the mental image of someone smashing your car's window, only for the horn to start blaring, the radio starts yelling "dive, dive, dive!" and the car sinks into the ground.

When I was in high school my dad and I restored a 1927 Chevrolet. My recollection is that the klaxon on that car had a motor driving a rotating drumstick that hit the diaphragm when you used the horn. Since it was literally one beat per revolution the sound was lower and the modulation more distinct than these modern klaxons. (this was 60 years ago so my memory may be faulty)
If that was 60 years ago how old are you now
Probably at least 60
My Dad helped his Mother fix their 1932 Ford Model A in their driveway, during the winter, when he was younger than 10. It was their daily driver and had to run well every day. Grandpa died in 1949 when Dad was just 6 going on 7. So this man could be in his 70s.
@jernejj5 My dad is 79, and he said that all the kids in the village of Onota went to a one room schoolhouse, kindergarten through 12th grade in the same room, with just one teacher. The older kids helped tutor the younger kids. 12 year-olds were in 5th grade, unless they scored higher on the tests and could skip some grades. But back then the really old cars were much simpler to repair and restore than cars of today. A toolbox might have 3 or 4 wrenches, a hacksaw, one flatbit screwdriver, a hammer and a coil of baling wire. This could fit in a small box beneath the seat. And kids helped work on cars from an early age, as their smaller hands could reach into places a grownups couldnt.
@@jacobshort6528 Your adjust the tone by adjusting the nut on the top of the horn diaphragm. This changes the tension between the diaphragm, the ball bearing and the rotating wave washer-really simple in concept. -John in Texas
I d'know; if I heard a submarine announcing it was about to dive in the middle of the city, that would get my attention a lot better than just another car alarm.
Oh please,, everyone know submarines are in the water... not the city. FACTS: They have STRICT laws about diving horns ...which prevented the end of the world. A couple weeks ago I was in my Ohio-class nuclear submarine deciding which continent to obliterate when a Seawolf submarine pulled me over and gave me a ticket for the wrong diving horn. They searched my vessel and temporarily impounded my 24 ballistic missiles with MIRV warheads until I installed the correct diving horn and paid the $200 fine.
@@SunriseLAW Did you ever decide which continent to obliterate?
@@tlangdon12 Based on the Diving Horn Laws, I am thinking about the East Coast of USA from about Richmond VA up to Portland, Maine. I am still stinging over the $200 fine and I have to get a 'legal' diving horn. I contacted General Dynamics in Groton CT.... A new diving horn for an Ohio-class sub costs over $143 million!!!! I ended up ordering a Chinese-made diving horn, the exact same one they sell to General Dynamics for $95 and it is on its way!

Have you been watching too many TC videos... 🐱 ...
As a Greek person, I can tell you the ancient Greek word ”klazo” is used in its modern Greek version as "klano”,and it means ”fart". Very nice!
Farting, aka Nature's organic horn.
As also a Greek person who actually knows Greek, "klazo" and "klano" are two entirely different words not even remotely relevant to one another. "Klazo" means to create any high pitched/piercing sound like metal ringing.
I wish I could fart "awooga!" on demand.
Hahahahahah klano
Very nice!
"Stupidly load." Silly noise". "Makes a sound by rotating a motor." and "only $10".
*Me, fixing one directly to a hand-held drill and sneaking up behind my flatmate* "You don't say?"
*former flatmate now
Ooooo, I think I might have to make something like this...
Bonus points for mating it to an impact wrench.
Jesus Christ that's an idea
My mate once carried a acid-lead battery and a Fiat Ducato horn on his bycicle. Imagine if I could gear *this* on the pedals.
"Better use this car battery that I just have lying around"
You know, as you do.
Also, fun fact: those things were originally hand cranked. I have a feeling that's why they're "mechanical loudspeakers" run by a spinning motor. They just replaced the hand crank with an electric motor and called it a day.
Honestly, dont you? I dont even own a car and I got one
Currently (haha), I have 3 car batteries and some UPS 12v batteries lying around my house. Well, strictly speaking, they're lying around and being connected to a trickle charger, but yeah, they're around. Lying.
Well, guess taking one hand for relatively a long time to crank a horn would be dangerous while driving
I just rounded up my collection of car batteries a few days ago and discovered that 31 of them need to be brought to the scrapyard
A lot of them weren't "cranked" in the manner of twisting a handle in a circle. They used a rack and pinion with the rack sitting along side the flywheel inside. The device would be mounted to the side of the car near the driver (like on the door post or windshield pillar) and said operator would mash the top of the rack. This would spin up the flywheel for a quick burst. This is the same way those thumb-drive sparkler toys worked.

Same for my shitbox pickup...right next to the spot I am leaving for the eventual cruise ship horn.
What for? Shitbox motorcycles' exhaust note should overshadow any horn anyway.
PortCharmers maybe not this one lol. It’s f***ing loud
Bugger your motorcycle, I'm trying to figure out how to fit one to a bicycle...
I use a snail style air horn on my bikes. Compact and probably louder.

@@TechnologyConnections Mission Accomplished, eh?
According to 8-Bit Music Theory, yes, you can make a chord with only two notes.
You could argue that any sound with extreme upper harmonic overtones (like a horn or siren) is already a chord. Power chords are just two notes for that reason, the excessive overtones of a distorted guitar would make playing "correct" chords with 3 notes sound bad / messy.

He should definitely cover those too
I always wondered how they worked, having seen people cranking them in war movies. How could something hand-cranked be so loud!?
Ben James the small ones were hand cranked the bigger ones had electric motors. Some of the really big ones had Chrysler V8 engines.
A turbine-type-thing with alternating slots. That noise is it spinning up to speed and then slowing down, a more drawn-out sound because there's a lot of inertia in the thing.
They work sorta like a furnace blower, but instead of fins designed to move lot of air it's more like bars and it generates a noise. There's more to it than that but that's basically the gist of it. There's some videos of people who have built them, I kinda want to but I have no where to test it lol. My whole city would hear it and I'd be seeing a billion posts on FB. Ok now I kind of want to do it.
Would love to see a video where increased current is applied to the klaxon and to see how the spin speed of the motor affects the sound
Even with the noise warning, that horn still made me jump. Wow, that thing is loud.
I did NOT have enough time to turn down the volume once it came out. It didn't hurt my ears, but dang if it didn't startle me.
I didn't even notice the noise warning and I wasn't looking. Scared the living hell out of me.
I was glade not to be watching this on the TV. Even if the neighbors are out the business down stairs might not like the sound.
I'm not really sure if what we heard was really the sound created when he closed the circuit. If it was and was as loud as it's supposed to be, there would have been clipping in the recorded audio. He would have had to record the klaxon with other settings than for his voice recording. What I'm trying to say is that your perception of the sound being louder than you expected is skewed as Alec most likely placed the sound and deliberately set the loudness in post.
I'm not suggesting this type of horn wasn't fairly loud if you stood right in front of it when it goes off.
@@LoboPreto No, yeah, the bloopers at the end of the video imply the sound was in fact dubbed in, as the sound made in the bloopers is clipped to hell.
Wife comes home cranky after a bad rain storm. “I guess I’m gonna go bookmark this video about car horns, and save it for later”

My pants are now brown.
i was surprised because it actually hurt my ears
Holy fHONK this thing is loud!!!
It get like that part in doctor strange where his astral body gets punched out of him

“Layered sounds can be difficult to decipher, and I’m not a proctologist.” I swear I almost passed out after laughing so hard from this…quite possibly the funniest thing I’ve heard so far this decade!
Omg this will age like a fine wine!
I agree, He tells his jokes all the time and I usually smile and nod out of politeness. This time I laughed out loud.
I seriously can't figure out the joke...
@@quilynn The best I can think of is the fact that proctologists can use ultrasound to check your bum, going thru the different layers in your skin, I can't think of anything else.

That was excellent, thank you.
"Layered sounds can be difficult to decipher and I'm not a *proctologist* .”

I'm not a proctologist either.

I can confirm that this horn does just fine as a direct replacement on a 2001 Honda Accord, and brings joy to all who experience it 😁
"All submarines are legally required to have one of these to signal that they're about to *die.* "
I believe the term is Dive. ;)
Dive, not die.
Sort of. In non-combat dives, that is the case.
In combat dives... Using a horn is a really bad idea unless you want every enemy to know where you are.
@@firstdictonary yep. A diving sub with a klaxon would instantly be detected with accuracy. It'd be a death sentence.

When I was a teenager I installed an old ford klaxon on my '58 jeep, honking to girls always got a smile back

Me: Ehh, the other ones sounded okay so this one probably won't be so ba-
And it was at that moment his eyes crossed. This is why I mute it and watch him suffer.
AHOOOGA
Rest in peace, anonymous TH-cam viewer with the blown out eardrums...
Same.
Holy fuck! this thing is loud!
I have one in my 62 Beetle and found putting a 1Ohm (50W) resistor in series does well to bring down the current. The slower rise and lower overall tone makes it sound far more 'friendly'.
instead of that resistor you just can wire a lightbulb
A music theory snob would come here and say: “two notes doesn’t make a chord, but an INTERVAL”
Good thing there's no accursed music theory snobs lurking around here!
This music theory snob always thought a car horn sounded like the 5th and 3rd of a major cord... I just don't hear a minor chord at all.
@@caseymcmurtry2124 The 3rd and 5th of a major chord form a minor dyad.
You sure, you're a theory snob? ;)
@@caseymcmurtry2124 the interval of those two notes is a minor 3rd. Take a Cmaj chord, C-E-G. C to E is a major third, which gives the chord its quality. E to G is a minor third. The inverse is true of minor chords. Cmin is C-Eb-G, C to Eb is a minor third, and Eb to G is a major third. Other cases include diminished triads, which are two minor 3rds (C-Eb-Gb for example) and augmented triads, which are two major 3rds on top of each other (like C-E-G#)
Not a music theory person, just a guitar noob here: what about power chords?
JFC that horn, even with the warning I was still not prepared
I don't think anyone - even the dude doing it - was prepared.
This isn't the face of a prepared person: gyazo.com/d5369af0f6b96922ef81ca3b4a8977e9
even with the sound turned as low as it could be, that still got me real good.
imagine having the video in the background just as that warning came up, rip ears.
@@bigredlizerd yup, that was me. Was doing something else on the buy and just listening. I twitched so hard! lmao
I was tabbed away from the video for a moment when it happened so I didn't even see the warning
I find a train air horn the most persuasive in traffic.
That will scare someone out of their skin but in Texas they're not street legal.
I wanna use those Chrysler air raid sirens as my horn. Basically a mechanical siren. except it's not using an electric motor, but a 5.4L V8 Chrysler FirePower Hemi engine. They produce 138dB at 100 yards and can be heard up to 25 miles away.
Or any air horn. Firetruck Studder air horns work great.
@@johntracy72 That's open to interpretation. The law says a horn can not be "unusually harsh" so I would just use a big rig air horn then you can say "if they can use them so I can" because there is no law that states a horn's sound must be proportionate to the size of the vehicle that it is installed in.
Why not go the extra mile and get one of those tornado sirens as a horn?
I installed one of these in my 1st new car, a 1980 VW Rabbit. I love cars of the 30s, 40s & 50s. In fact, I had my buddy put a 1950s 'flame job' on this car 3 months after I bought it! Nuts, HUH? Sand down a perfectly beautiful factory black paint job to put 'flames' on the hood, fenders & into the doors! The guy did an excellent job! Anyway, back to the horn. Everyone knew when I was around, as I DID make the 'ah-OOO-gah' my primary horn. I even had the state motor vehicle inspectors grinning & laughing. They said that the horn was DEFINATELY loud enough!! Anyway, I just sold the car to my daughter's girlfriend's dad about a month ago. I forgot to tell the guy about the horn. He hasn't gotten around to getting it running yet, but I'm sure my daughter will get a text about the horn. (PS- It never got wet, so I'm guessing that it still works!) Maybe I'll install one in the "06 Scion Tc that I just bought- Hmmm?
Literally 8 seconds into this I am already dying.
rip in peace
OMG LIKE I LITERALLY CANNOT BECKY LIKE OMG
ME TOO XDDDDD
That took you a long time
I have tears running just from that opening
I remember this became a popular aftermarket motorcycle horn in the Philippines about 10-15 years ago. Almost all motorcycles had it that when you hear that sound it's definitely a motorcycle honking at you.
Lol of course it did
Can you hear any ahoogas today, or was it just a fad?
Again, I want this on my bicycle. Purely mechanically driven, if possible.
"...should you put one on your vehicle."
"But should you put one your vehicle?"
Unexpected Vsauce.
With the redirection that simultaneously recommends use of a relay controlled by the original horn circuit to avoid compatibility issues...nice touch.

“Submarines are legally required to have on them”

Alec's face every time he cracks that "through magic of buying two of the" :D 4:26
Imagine hearing this noise for the first time in the distance without seeing the source of it, and having absolutely zero idea about what sounds like that. A week or so after hearing it for the first time, I happened to go to the local small mall, just as a vintage car drove into the parking lot, doing it's Å-RØØØØØ-GAAH!
That horn scared the shit out of me. I thought that warning was a joke, like he brought out that big battery but it's quiet.
I had this playing in the background while I was painting and wasn't watching when be brought the klaxon out, and I nearly jumped out of my skin when he hooked it up.
Yeah same...
Saw the warning on the bus with my Bluetooth headset, and still got me.
How in the world did you do the best imitation of a Klaxon I’ve ever heard at 0:07?
He doesn't need a horn
best ever
I legitimately thought he had one in his hand under the desk or something.
Plot twist: the guy is a robot and the real Technology Connections was the horn all along
I was impressed
I love the Magic of Buying Two of Them. Just like in Contact.

I never laughed so hard when he said “Holy That Horn is Loud!”😂😂😂😂😂 - I’m still tearing up!!
The purpose of the horn is to signify your eyes are popping out of your head when a hot dame walks by.
Edit: thank u so much for the likes. You all make me do the *AWOOOGA* sound.
Happened to me at 6:50
a hot dame with fabulous gams.

It's no wonder you have one and a half million subs - fact filled, fun and engaging. I REALLY learn a lot from every one of your videos. Cool and fun to watch and listen to. More please!
The fact about having two horns tuned to a minor third makes me wonder what other intervals of horns would sound like.
Want to sound more pleasant as you make your car yell at other cars? How about a major third? A perfect fifth? What if you want to sound more harsh and make it a tritone? And what if you added a third horn and honked in chords? Truly, the possibilities are endless.
@Martha Sviniard 😂 is not that hard to just accept that it fascinates him, Lolol who cares.
A tritone would sound evil!
you’re mean. delet this
As a child I remember my grandfather having an English friend who had a rather complex aftermarket horn setup in his Oldsmobile. He had an little keyboard with keys in the car with which he could play little melodies with what I just assume were several different horns. I believe it even had the ability to store a few pre-programmed combinations. This was in the late 90's, I've no idea if these still exist.
PosthistoricDino I experimented with custom horns. A major triad sounds ridiculous ,
Like a clown car. A minor third is very appropriate as it is a ‘serious’ sound.
I've always liked the juxtaposition of a klaxon on a submarine. "Right, sneaky beaky time. Time to dive AHOOOGAAAAHH "

My jaw drops to the floor, my eyes extend at a velocity never before seen, I take out a boxing glove and hit myself with it 17 times, pant like a dog, and yell AOOOOGA AOOOOGA then turn to the audience and say in 1930’s New York accent “HOT MAMA, now that’s a dame!”

Air raid sirens are equally interesting. More like a high speed cheese grater.
Those things are LOUD (when you’re standing right below one when there’s a fire alarm).
theres no truer words, as I work at a hospital that has a insane wing and we have air raid sirens both older mechanical and new speaker driven units, the older ones are more reliable and have the neato start up and run down sound, but on multiple occasions they have lived up to the cheese grater name, the worst one involved a 10AM test of the siren and a bird that had defeated the cage on the end of the siren, and my lucky butt for parking my car right below the siren
My country has electronic, speaker driven air raid sirens. I wonder if you could use them as an actual speaker...
I know the ones you mean, I don't think they were Chevy though I think they were driven by big Chrysler Motors. All right you had me curious I just looked it up is this the one?
