Air Horn 3.5 oz 120 dB, Loud Emergency Signal Horn for Boating Safety Walking Camping, Handheld Fog Horn Heard 1/2 Mile, Made in USA - Better Boat

I originally purchased this air horn back in March after my dogs and I were attacked by four loose dogs in the neighborhood. A neighbor had left their gate open, and it was a really frightening situation. Ever since then, I’ve carried this horn as a precaution. This morning, we were out walking when another group of dogs came charging toward us. Thankfully, I was prepared this time. I pressed the horn for just 3–4 seconds and the dogs immediately stopped in their tracks and bolted the other way. It was loud enough to scare them off quickly without me or my dogs getting hurt. What impressed me is that even after using it, I still have plenty left for future use. It’s small, easy to carry, and works exactly as described. If you live in an area where there are stray or aggressive dogs, I highly recommend this as a first line of defense before something serious happens. It gave me peace of mind and kept my dogs safe.

Invest in a pair of ear plugs because this horn is incredibly loud. Don't use as a prank to scare people as it will damage your hearing. It is compact and light, it's easy to put in your pocket. Made in the USA and meets U.S. COAST GUARD REQUIREMENTS. If you're in need of help, this will get attention. It will probably scare a bear away. You only need a couple short blasts to scream out 120 dbs. That way it can be reused dozens of times. 10 out of 10.

If you’re looking for a discreet buzzer for middle-school sports games, this little can from Better Boat is absolutely not—it’s basically a sonic rocket launcher with a “go home or go deaf” option. The blast is powerful enough to carry half a mile and hits roughly 115 dB. When I first fired this off, teammates flinched. Nearby parents turned their heads. The ref might’ve flagged me for excessive celebration. But if your goal is to command attention—be it start of game, end of quarter, or that one kid who forgot his cleats—this thing delivers: loud, sharp, and impossible to ignore. I can’t guarantee your eardrums will forgive you afterward. But the kid who gets up the next morning with a ringing in their ears might at least remember who scored the last touchdown.

I put this review under a 4 star only because I don’t read 3 stars and below because people like to complain about TRIVIAL THINGS which is annoying to me. This air horn is garbage AND for for the price it is a TRAGEDY BUY Mickey Mouse because it is not loud at all even in short blasts. You would be dead before anyone heard it. You would be better off with a regular whistle because it is louder and travels just as far. Just learn the pattern on how to send a distress signal. DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT

Lots of sound for a tiny bottle.

We recently purchased a boat and the horn on the boat sounded like a dying bird. It wasn't loud at all and with the boating regulations we purchase this horn. It is loud and works well for our needs on the lake. If your boat horn isn't loud this is a great replacement.

Bought five years ago, used it a few times, but haven't needed it for a few years. Plenty of air but doesn't work. Previously purchased horn had the same problem. That said. I foster dogs that are usually at least 90 pounds. Occasionally I misjudged how they are socializing or just plain make a mistake in handling, and need to break up fights. I've had two of these air horns over the last many years, and they have done the job 4/5 times, drastically reducing the risk to me keeping the dogs from injuring each other. So these horns are very helpful, but I need them to be reliable, and that probably means testing and replacing regularly. I'd really prefer a unit that lasts longer, like a brass head unit for the canned air.

Excelente corneta de aire: potente, compacta y muy confiable Compré esta corneta de aire Better Boat y quedé sorprendida con la potencia que tiene a pesar de su tamaño compacto. Produce un sonido muy fuerte, ideal para situaciones de emergencia, navegación, eventos deportivos o simplemente para llamar la atención rápidamente.

También cumple con los requisitos de seguridad de la Guardia Costera, lo que da aún más tranquilidad al usarla en el bote. En general, es un producto práctico, eficiente y de excelente calidad. ¡Totalmente recomendada!

Je marche souvent en forêt et je me suis procuré cet objet pour faire fuir les ours. Impressionnant le bruit que cette sirène fait. J'aime aussi son petit format. Très pratique à transporter dans sa main ou sur une ceinture. Si vous voulez faire du bruit c'est l'objet idéal.

So loud ouch!!!!

Super efficace

These canisters are smaller than I was anticipating but work as well as the larger canisters. Just not sure how long they will last.

Bought this to ward off coyotes when walking my dog if needed. Haven’t had to use it yet but love the size and ability to keep it with me on a walk. Hopefully I never have to use but something great to help me feel safer!
