[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1347789, member: 21926"] both of those looks very suspiciously like “model” legislation put forth by the interstate group ALEC or similar lobbying groups. audible at 200 feet is easy, but there’s a lot of subjectivity in both the linked laws. Not knowing the penalty for both it’s difficult to say how much of a thorn in the butt it would be, but worst case you could drop the PSI down to ~110 to get the db under control for “reinspection” These appear to be equipment violations, not moving violations - there may be a horn abuse moving violation, but the difference is that moving violations jack up your insurance rates, by and large inspection violations do not. both the quoted laws are subjective and vague enough to be subject to a challenge if you have the time and money. In no way would it be worth the hassle, but if you had nothing better to do... Stay within the db limits that semis are subject to and you’re safe. From what I’ve observed, probably about 125db max would be sustainable legally if you were ‘caught’. the stock horn is under 100db, completely hearing safe. air horns, like are on trucks run in the 115-130 db range and I think 130 is really pushing it. 130 is on par with an unsuppressed rifle round and will ring your ears. Don’t be abusive and nothing to worry about. [/QUOTE]
