Horn Blowing = Lion's Roar?

ComandanteBanana

(This comment interprets horn blowing. My own interpretation is found
below.)

Horn Blowing: Interpreting the Message.

If someone honks a horn at you, the meaning is all in the duration. A
really brief "Bip!" means "Hi!" or "Bye!" A moderately short beep
means, "I just want you to realize I'm here." Somewhere between a
second and maybe two seconds means, "I'm here and I am annoyed at your
heedlessness." Over two seconds it means, "I'm pissed off at you,
JERK!" Longer than three seconds it means, "I'm pissed off at this
whole situation! And I am frustrated that I can't do anything more
effective than sit here and blow my horn. Boy am I
frustrated!" (Usually employed in traffic jams to make people around
you even more frustrated too.)

Repeated honks are either repetitions of the above (sorted by blast
duration) or monotone musical "Hellos" if done in cadence with known
tunes like "Shave and a haircut: two bits!" (Meant to be friendly.)

Like I said somewhere else: most of the time the vehicle's blowing the
horn is equivalent to the lion's roar...

"Hey, this is my territory and you better get lost --or else I eat
you!"

And guess what the monkey riding the bike said... "Yes, you can eat my
banana!"

I wonder how that translates to bicycle bells?

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Dunno, but I recently acquired an old one that sounds a bit like a tram
bell. None of your pissy "tink tink" or "brring brring" My bike says
"Clang Clang".

I've got one that sounds like a referee's whistle.

Sounding a horn other than when for an emergency situation violates
the municipal code (ordinance) in some communities and is generally
found and defined under the category of noise pollution.

In some communities, people confuse the horn with a doorbell. I hate
those people.

Got some here and it is inevitably the same couple of neighbors who
seem to attract like minded lazy bastards for friends who know not the
difference or couldn't give a damn about the law or any other
neighbors. The time of day doesn't seem to hamper them from
exercising their ignorance either.

Bicycle bells vs. car's horn amount to this: The lion roars and the
bicycle answers back...meaow.

It's a kind of behavior signalling submission. "Ding, ding, ding"...

Then why dont we see modified freon powered boat horns on bikes?

Well... CO2/propane powered horns since the Greentards banned freon...

Small, light, portable

You should never let the guard down in the jungle. But you should be
able to tell a threatening roar from a hesitant driver, though both
can be deadly.

Another survival strategy that may not save you, but at least won't
make you fearful all the time is to wear headphones with noise
cancellation. Anyway that's what many drivers do with their radios.

Oh, they have already. They put it in the other thread.

It's supposed to paralize an SUV driver for 10 seconds, so you have

The Airzound® is loud enough to get the attention of a cager that has
the windows closed and the radio on.

I just heard on the news, that the Greens demanding hybrid vehicles is
now causing the deaths of innocent blind people.

Seems that hybrids make so little noise that the blind are walking out
in front of them in record numbers. A bill is being considered to
make hybrids noisier.
