  • That echo carried. and are ship horns louder than train horns?

  • @killallianceftw A little bit. But more significantly, they are lower in pitch, which allows the sound to travel farther (less atmospheric absorption).

  • damn love it. what kind of recorder were you using for the sound i can even here the birds in the background. good video also :)

  • This clip was done with my Canon Elura 100 camcorder, with an Audio Technica AT-822 mic plugged into it and on a separate tripod. The hum you hear is from the bear swamp hydro project's substations about 50 feet or so behind the camera.

    which is just what you need in fog given that a typical bulk ship takes 4 miles to stop and 2 miles to turn round

  • where do i buy one

  • @Robinistic What are Elgenvalves?

  • Seems I heard 3 different sets of horns? First were the D-2s? Then the T-3's, but what was the last, very deep horn, that sounded almost like a Leslie-Tyfon 300? It blew starting at 1:22.

    I'm thinking of buying a new set of D-2s for my boat. They do seem to have a good sound, don't you think? I've found them at a marine supply place on line for $1,299. brand new.

    Thanks for the post, great sounds!

  • @goalie1131 And NJ Devils horn too. The first one is the Devils one and the 2nd one is the Canes one.

  • NEW JERSEY DEVILS SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i know ive said this before, but its freaking amazing. listening to this with headphones on at the website is purely heaven.

  • Hah, ive actually right where this car is.
