Where I live I can hear the train horns but if i were to take my truck up to the same spot and let my horn go, I seriously doubt I would be able to hear it. So, yes, the nathan horns are louder. But I have set off car alarms with my horn so they are not dissapointing. How much did you find the horn for? Is it over $1,000

I do have one question though, would a train horn be louder with a nitrogen bottle connection or would it be about the same with a compressor? Is there a maximum psi horns can handle?
