Golden Gate Bridge Fog Horn + View

[smackmiranda]

Ghosts are REAL.

There are no such thing as Foghorns.

The horn is under the bridge

[jasenrooks2010]

sounds like a tripod from war of the worlds

[ancientastronomer]

Horn? What Horn?

[Vdubguy23]

were would the horn be though?

[Ravage2277]

holy crap i'd be suprised enough to drop the camera... nice video though

[streaky1992]

I love the Golden Gate :)

been over it 10-12 times

[gostboy56]

i wonder how many peaple have spit of the bridge

[gerry5468]

the pitches actually change depending on weather and distance, but usually its an A

/// there are two other pitches that happen less frequently an E above that and a C above that E, and if youre lucky, another pitch, maybe a tugboat is a g# above that

so you get a Am#7 chord

[Gahman900]

shit thats a big bridge

[dieselpower4ever]

OMG!!! That is way to bloody high for me, WOW

[misspdalbump]

i went to sf and i went of the bridge and i was so confused to where that horn was coming from and to this day i still cant figure it out if it was a ghost ship or if the bridge has fog horns built into it so can someone tell me what i heard was because now that i know other people heard it im sure that its not a ghost ship but im still confused on what it is so can someone please tell me what the horn was please down thumbs down this comment because im really really really confused thanks :)

[SirenChick101]

actualy the horn is at the base of the south tower lol

[WJF388]

@misspdalbump The horn is built-in at the base of the south tower of the bridge. lol

[smackmiranda]

@misspdalbump It's clearly a ghost. How could you think it was anything else? Who ever heard of a horn that is sounded during foggy conditions?

[Umpqua1012]

@smackmiranda That's rubbish! I have seen those horns under that bridge with my own two eyes!

[smackmiranda]

@Umpqua1012 Well spotted! You're right, I was using gentle sarcasm. Apologies if this threw anyone off the scent. At no point did I actually think it was down to ghostly activity. Next time I will include one of these ;-) to avoid confusion.

[Kabar8315]

@misspdalbump Just do a google search on: "Where are the Golden Gate Bridge's Foghorns?" It should come up as your first offered link. Hope this helps!

[mello27]

@misspdalbump its a horn on the bridge theres 2 under both towers

[Umpqua1012]

@misspdalbump There are 4 foghorns on the bridge; 2 Leslie tyfons on the south tower; and two diaphones on the mid-span; and nothing on the north tower. The foghorns you hear in this video are the tyfons on the south tower.

[eroctheleo]

The Golden Gate is the most amazing bridge in the world.

[Rhandahl]

@eroctheleo in comparison to the Millau Viaduct, The golden gate bridge is so to say nothing.

INB4 USA counts as the world.

[Umpqua1012]

@eroctheleo Yes indeed!

[danicastro815]

I'm from SF and used to fall asleep to the foghorn. I'm in GA now, and was feeling a little homesick. This made my evening. :) Thanks!

[Komet67]

I did the same thing camping in the Bodega area. Very soothing listening and waiting for the next blast.

[xCharlieAndSophie]

Thats insane, I'd die if I was that high up! hehe

[hi52295]

where can u buy fog horns

[PerryPlanet]

I was out on the bridge in similar conditions...unbelievable experience. I couldn't figure out where the foghorn was coming from until I got off the bridge, the fog blew away, and I saw no ship in the bay.

[BayAreaBiker2001]

It is at the base of the south tower. It sounds like a Trompette Celeste 16'.

[123456789sha]

what is that ''a foghorn'' i dont know cuz i live in holland can som1 tell me pls

[nativetexan7]

Foghorns are a navigation aid for mariners. In foggy conditions, when visual navigation aids such as lighthouses are obscured by the weather, foghorns provide an audible warning of rocks, headlands, or other dangers to shipping.

[thehate448]

the United States Navy has Foghorns on their battleships and Aircraft Carriers. they need these as loud as possible because an aircraft carrier was once hit by a small fishing boat dur the foghorns repair. the foghorns on aircraft carriers soud like tornado sirens. the can be herd for miles. the foghorns do not sound when in enmy territory because this may help the enmy find the aircraft carrier. that why th U.S. Navy needs foghorns.

[Umpqua1012]

@nativetexan7 Something that GPS can't always help with.

[HILARYFAN06]

[KayakFreak]
