GEN 2 Train Horn Getting Installed!

Sure. Turn the PSI down

Do they make one that has the same train sound and tone, but not quite as loud? I do not need one that can be heard 2 miles...

Exactly! The sound of a train horn is desirable, the volume of one is not.

I don't think you can turn the sound down. The 540 series Hornblaster has a 150psi tank with a compressor self regulating. Airing up and possibly running power tools are a benefit to this set up. With windows closed the horn sounds just fine, not that loud. lol

but couldn’t you regulate the pressure down to - say - 130 psi or 120 and drop the DB?

I realize the truck is insulated quite well, but, it doesn’t take much exposure to sound that loud to be affected.

They make a kit - 234 or 238? that comes with a coiled air hose and I imagine you could add the necessary parts to the kit as needed. I would like to have some more volume when I hit the horn, but not sure I’m ready to drop the necessary coin on it.

Is that really a thing?

Their bolt-on train horn kits look pretty nice. Not sure I want to be a guinea pig, but I hope they come out with their Gen 2 Raptor version.

Impatiently awaiting the Gen 2 pre test kit to release. In the mean time.....

Are the white frame glasses and flat hat actually issued with the Gen 2 kit, or is that optional since most owners already have that?

I've never been involved with a forum with as many try-hard ****** as this one.
