It is quite loud so I think it would fit the purpose you're thinking of using it for.

I would say so. I have it connected to a little mp3 player and with the volume all the way up it is louder than a car alarm.

I am not sure why there is a need for a siren on a personal vehicle. If the personal vehicle is going to be used in the line of a fire / rescue vehicle, as many personal vehicles are, then I would say yes. This certainly is loud enough. I do caution you that if there is any other surge on the battery, this may effect the control of the 346. I is very loud and should serve your needs adequately.

yes it is, i use it to go around the streets selling bread ( in Mexico ) and i can be heard a good two blocks away ( when unobstructed by buildings etc... )

Personally, I would say so. That was my original plan. But my state requires an SAE certified siren. I would check with that first.

if you buy the bigger horn that has an amp built into it then yes. The small one isnt very loud.

Yes, it is very loud. We use it in an ice cream truck and are told that the kids can here it blocks away.

It will be louder. As long as you wire it the way you're supposed to - with seperate relay and fused circuit - it should be fine. I found this horn to be much louder than my pickup or my sedan's horn. Maybe your truck already had louder than average horns. I think some GMs have rebadged FIAM horns that are very loud.

Not sure, but I don't see why not. I love the loudness of this. I use it when I think people aren't paying attention, and may turn in front of me. I honk at people along the street, and they look around wondering where that came from :-). Ed

I do not think it is really loud, so depends on how loud you want. I think it would probably work for what you want. You might need to have it on the highest setting.

Im pretty sure it is. It's definitely not too loud. And it doesn't effect the catalytic converter or O2 sensors. So i would say yes.

I use one as a belt blower on my UTV.. Can't hear it over the engine, but it is pretty loud.. Hard to talk to passenger with it running between us

It's almost similar to a truck horn. It's loud, between a motorcycle / car (with electrical horn) and a truck.

I got it only for emergency's so I haven't used it much. I don't think it sounds too loud, less than a small home lawnmower in idle.

It probably is. I drive a Chevy Colorado and everyone can hear it except the people I want to hear it(people who run behind me whine I try to back out of a parking place). It should be loud enough to hear over your diesel engine. It is made for use in noisy factory situations. If it isn't loud enough, you might send it back to Amazon. I can't remember the loudness rating but factories are limited to 95 DBA by OSHA.

Loud enough for a good sized family BBQ? YesLoud enough for a full on brain-banger, probably not. I use mine in the car up on the dash where there is good resonance. Never need to turn it all the way up.

That depends on how loud your passengers are. It can be quite loud, especially if the device linked to it can be, as well. I have never found myself wishing that it was louder.

Yes, it would be very loud for a car. The base is insane for this little speaker

It has a great sound but its volume isn't really as loud as I thought it would be. To answer your question though, it is loud enough for inside your car.

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.

It's pretty short so probably be pretty loud. A turbo type muffler would probably give you a deeper tone.
