Ive got one on the shelf in my shed. Its used to scare cats off the garden. Awful on a bike and if you used one on me I would be waiting for you next time. Forget the audible device and invest in a little patience. Its far cheaper.

@Accy cyclist suffered a serious illness that I presume has effected his voice. Not for me to give details although he has posted elsewhere on CC about it

Ah, I wasn't aware of that so apologies for my flippant reply @Accy cyclist.
Still, a bell is all you need if you're wanting to warn people you're arriving. A foghorn is overkill.

A ped stepped into my path last night. For some reason I shouted 'Woah! Ahoy there", which made me sound like a bit of a nobber. But not as much of a nobber as if I had a bloody Airzound.

Could have been worse, you could have shouted "Avast behind!" and got yourself a smack on the hooter.

What if that ped had been a car pulling out Would your shout have been heard by the one in their nearly soundproof comfort zone? A shout or a tinkle tinkle from a bell isn't going to be heard but 120 decibels maybe yes?!

I've occasionally spontaneously shouted "Have a care!" In that situation and found myself with the same puzzled expression as the ped as I wonder "where the fark did that come from?"

Don't go in the helmet sub section then whatever you do.

I've heard it's full of helmets, alright.
I would only use an airzound to alert drivers, not pedestrians, it is too much,and likely to scare people and make them react unpredictably.
II've not had a bell for a while, I squashed it falling off the bike
Had to resort to shouting 'excuse me' so they are aware i am there and aren't going to step into my path. They dont always hear me though
