How to Hook-Up an Air Horn
by Alibaster Smith
The stock horn on your vehicle can be augmented with an air horn. Typically, the air horn will provide a higher-pitched sound. An air horn uses compressed air in a canister that is activated electrically by a switch. This switch is connected to a relay so that it will be activated when you press on your horn but will stop when you stop pressing your car's horn button.

How to Install an Air Horn
by Travis Corkery
An air horn is an auxiliary horn that uses an air compressor to produce a tone that is considerably louder than a factory car horn. Usually, air horns come with a compressor, relay, tubing and 2 horns that each produce a different tone. Before installing an air horn system in a vehicle, consult your local laws to make sure that doing so isn't illegal where you live. Many cities and states have noise regulations that prohibit the use of after-market horns.

How Air Horns Work
by Stephen Lilley
An air horn is a small hand-held device used to emit a series of loud, high pitched horn noises. Because of the loudness and pitch of the noise emitted, air horns are popular for both practical purposes and recreational purposes. To make its sound, the air horn pushes a large amount of air at very high speeds through a series of tubes that mimic the tubes on various musical instruments like a trumpet. Once the air passes through the tubes, it travels through an attached horn on the top of the device and out into the air from which the sound comes.

How Does an Air Horn Work?
by G. keith Evans
Air horns, so named because they rely on air moving through a collection of trumpet-like horns, are true to their name in that they rely on air forced through the horns to produce sound. Because there is considerable resistance in an air horn, powerful electric air compressors generate tremendous amounts of air at a very high pounds-per-square-inch (PSI) pressure. This air is routed through tubes to the horns, where it will ultimately become a source of sound.
