The air horns on my deuce and my friends' M54 sound like sick
high pitched kids whistles. Are they all like this? Doesn't sound
anything like a normal big truck or train horn. I know there are
different kinds of train horns, as worked for the railroad for awhile,
but my M35 sounds crappy.

For those thinking about adding compressed air to a vehicle, I think
that the small 12-volt compressors might not give you enough air to
do
a series of sustained
"get-your-fat,-ugly,-bicycle-riding-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-street-ta
lking- on-the-cell-phone-ass-out-of-my-way" blasts.

 I have in the past used an air-conditioner compressor on an
auxiliary
fanbelt with success. Of course, finding a spot for the belt, pulley,
compressor, etc might be a chore.
