BIGGER THAN A SHIP HORN OR TRAIN HORN! (NASA Reverberant chamber HORN)
I was told that this is a reverberant chamber horn used by NASA. Reverberant chamber is unique to NASA and the USAF for testing full-size aerospace components at high levels of sound pressure. The noise in the chambers can be shaped to match the specifications of space shuttle and rocket launches, aircraft structural excitation, engine nacelle noise, unsteady turbulent airflows, and the acoustic test specifications required for military equipment sold on domestic and export markets. This flexibility has made it possible for to test satellites, satellite payload equipment, airframes, and aircraft components . Simply put, there is a enclosed room with this horn’s opening bolted to the wall with the opening of the horn facing in. They would place the object they would want to test in that room, seal it up, and fire up this monster for a given lenght of time to see if it can handle the extreme low harmonics from this horn. The only problem is, the walls also started falling apart. This horn has a working pressure between 250-500psi. On this test video 500psi was supplied (the squealing at the begining of each honk is normal. There is an exhaust port at the back of the power chamber housing to allow the titanium and tungsten diaphragm to vibrate at high pressure supply). This horn is 7′ 5″ long, and is 282lbs. This horn is no longer in used because the mortar of the building started coming apart from the testing that was done over the years. This recording was done at Angeles …

Bro we’re waiting on that video… 🙂
Man i want one!!
Well, if I ever go to southern Cal, you shouldn’t be very hard to find.
Echo
Two thumbs up!
Nice audio engineering, loving the echo.
If it says NASA on it you know its official
Thanks! No I have a bigger horn that this one. I do not have a video of that horn yet, but when I have time I’ll make a video and post it.

Fuuuck that is so awesome man! Is this the biggest horn you have?
thats incredible
Lmao.. You seemed a lil too close to the walls of the canyon.
Aren’t you afraid of boulders coming down from the vib’s?
If my head phone’s were up all the way,I would’a been blown away.. Hahaha..
Good job.
Scary away some Marcians
I want to hear that in the tunnel..
What would the neighbours say?
For the end of the world 0,0 lol

For that, nasa makes loud things. Loud things require an area where people aren’t allowed to go or else they’ll go deaf and nasa will get sued. So they build loudspeakers that are built to simulate loud sounds in order to figure out how big an area they’ll need to clear before building facilities for loud things.
That’s Great !
I’m typing this from the floor ’cause im rolling around laughing !!!
Thanks, you’ve made my day !
DUDE , i love it 😀 but id be scared of it knocking one of those rocks loose and hittin your car, lol
man, won’t you get busted for doing this???
Sorry this one is not for sale. I do have a very large and loud ship horn for sale and it will only cost you 8K plus shipping. You will have the loudest horn on any boat out there…
Ill give you 200k for it i want to put it on our boat…….
if you could read the video description…
I sent you an email response…
Big Mike,
I am currently looking for a Fog Horn for a project I am working on. Are there any manufacturers you can point me to? I also have a few questions about rigging the horns. if you could send me an email it would be cool to pick your brain regarding the fog horns.
Thanks,
