Does this horn have a slight delay between activation and sound? I've read about some air horns that do. Thanks.

It is pretty instant because there are no air hoses between the compressor and the horn. As soon as the compressor starts to spin it is blowing air into the horn and it honks.

Due to the nature of this horn, being an air horn, will have a very slight delay as the little air compressor builds up pressure. We are talking just a fraction of a second...but it is a delay.

yes. it is just a matter of running two wires from the existing horn wire posts to the new horn wire posts. when the horn button is pressed both horns will sound.

No, not really. When the infrared transmitter detects movement...the receiver sounds. But if you, the person who set the alarm system up initially, knows this (as you obviously do) it is no big deal. The thing chimes and you say "Oh yeah, cool. My alarm works." But I think I understand why you ask, because if you have a true siren-type of alarm, you need a delay of a few seconds to turn the bloody thing off because you don't want to hear it triggered. After all, it is "you" entering the alarmed site and not an intruder. But this 1Byone system is more for when you are home or in your garage and you wish to know that somebody else is within range of the transmitter and they set it off (not you). Kind of like when your dog barks at a person approaching. There is no "delay" so to speak, but you thank your dog at any rate because he/she warned you of said interloper (or whomever...could be an in-law:). But no, to answer the question, no delay feature. If it detects, it beeps. Low or High setting. Still a good system though. I've become accustomed to the chimes as it has detected my movement on the order of 100 to 1, me vs. ?

I have not noticed any delay. I listen with headphones and turn tv sound off. Very pleased with this product.

Correct, it only has air horn and pa.I have one installed in my truck it a great investment and you don't have to worry about sirens going off accidentally.

Yes is has a low buzz when sound is absent. Not noticeable during game play though. Personally doesn't bother me.

Replacement horn, set of 2, can use 1, 2 sounds better, nice mellow euro tone, (if you want loud, get a set of air horns), hz= tone, higher db= louder horn. Cheers

I think a train horn is a little lower tone but this horn is so loud it makes people stupid! Mine works great,its just what I wanted, I'm really happy with it.

I have 2 Prestige t-stats. One doesn't make a sound when it activates the heat pump/air handlers, etc. The other one does make a faint "click." But it's not loud or distracting. In fact, it's a nice "click" that tells me the t-stats summoning the air.

Do you hear the piston making a "popping" sound or just a constant tone when you pull the trigger? Air does come out of the side of the unit during normal operation and it will making a consistent popping sound dependent on input PSI. I'd check for air pockets, just like with a normal grease gun I have to prime it before I get grease flow. Just bang this upside down against the rim of a plastic trash can dozen or so times and check periodically for the grease to start flowing. The tone of the piston will change once it's actually pushing grease too if it's popping really fast and nothing's coming out its just not primed enough. Hope this helps!

The only noise I hear is when you turn it on. Sometimes you will hear it interchange and sometimes you don't. If it has set off for a while it will make a loud click and hum but it goes away in a couple seconds. Other than that it does not make any sound that is noticeable.

Just press on the button. It says not to shake can but I got more uses when the horn sound started fading out

At the lowest setting it makes no noise at all. That's because the adjustment valve, which is located on the horn itself and not the tank, is essentially infinitely adjustable. It's just a rotating valve that allows less and less air through until it lets no air through the line at all. But you need to turn it almost completely off for any affect. And yes, it is certainly adjustable on the fly.Having said that, I don't know why you'd ever want this on anything less than the loudest setting. If you're trying to alert a car that you're there more volume is always a plus.

Yes it makes a louder noise...for safety reasons. But if you hold the push button in and turned, then it doesn't really. I would only find this necessary to do though if I needed to be in stealth mode. My kids learned that the sound of the gate related to going up the stairs so they would come running. It was actually nice though since I had triplets and it was a great way to get their attention. I LOVE the gate, by the way.

It does but it is very subtle. I used it this morning and I only heard a small peep. Mine at least, doesn't always make much sound. Love it anyway.

It does make some noise while operating but, it is not loud to me. This is my second Panasonic and I like them very much. When this ones quits working, I plan on buying another.
