I need a Loud horn to use in the home to scare off burglers

It's loud, and is much better when used as a pair with the High & Low tones. However for a loud and unbearable noise to scare people, a better choice would be a high pitched alarm like a fire or smoke alarm. THe human ear is much more sensitive to these high pitched frequencies which becomes unbearable

This is a louder horn than me OEM horn on my vehicle. However, for home use they have better solutions. Granted this would work too.

It is almost as loud as a car, but higher pitched and urgent. If you want to sound friendly, you should try a classic hooter with a rubber squeeze-ball.

We can hear it in the kitchen with the den door closed..it's sort of a light pop, pop, pop sound...it would depend on how you hit it if it would be a problem

NO! Search Amazon for the Scarecrow. It's a motion-detecting sprinkler. I have one in my yard and it scares off cats, dogs and other animals. It's the only thing that has worked. Don't waste money on "ultrasonic" junk.

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

I live in a double wide,bricked up to conform as a house. That doorbell will work good. The volume control is so good, that you can stick it in one side of the house, and when it rings you can hear it in the the other side. the wife yells at me to turn the volume down. It works real good.

I think it's one of the best door bells you can get. Really loud when turned up as you can hear it through the house.Took a bit of time to find it but worth it. Really please with it. Alan London.

Yes. It is about as loud as a fire truck siren if toy are standing next to it though. And was very sensitive. Our door has a bit of a wiggle, when the wind blows the door moves slightly, it set the alarm off several times. I returned it. But yes it works worth any motion on the door, in or out.

Most any 12 volt transformer will do the trick. These sirens don't require many amps to operate to capacity. I'm sure Radio Shack could fix you right up or any alarm supplier.

I don't know, but if you can't, forget it. According to police (and common sense), external sirens are highly recommended. In fact, anything external is highly recommended: strobe iights, motion activated flood lights (the brighter, the better!), rotating red lights, lasers, you name it! The best would be to be able to hook up your stereo with exterior loudspeakers playing hard techno. Better to have your neighbors call the cops with a noise complaint than getting your house emptied, and/or your family killed. Just make sure to check with your local police first.

I don't believe that you will find a louder one out there unless it is one that is custom made. Ours is at a camp and you can hear the ring several hundreds of yards away.

Bliss149, realize that this isn't an air horn. It makes more of a hiss and that gets the dogs attention. The trick is to only use as much as you need- don't pull the trigger completely and don't point it at the dog, hold it behind your back. They won't have respect for you if they just see you with it in your hand, they just have respect for the device and the noise it makes if you point it at them. Start by just a small squeeze and increase the amount pull until you get your dog to respond or stop the behavior it is doing. So yes, good for an apartment. Your neighbors will not hear it.

I think the speaker is just below the sensor on the front. Perhaps that is where you would apply something. I'm still trying to wrap my head around wanting to muffle an alarm. Isn't the point of an alarm to be loud?

I think it would probably be appropriate for your use. It is loud enough to get your attention, but not annoying. It is the most simple mechanism, but it works very well. The price is reasonable and NO wiring.

Suggest u obtain the manual, maybe on line and see if I can. My mother needed the alarm sound.
