Silent Night on Locomotive air horns

Merry Christmas from The Great American Horn Machine. Silent Night as played on The AirChime Organ. Tried out our new sound level meter on this, it recorded a peak of 117Db-C at 60ft. We met one of our neighbors shortly after this, he impressed us very much with his comand of the english language, and all the words you cant say on TV.
As played on The Great American Horn Machine, The worlds loudest mobile musical instrument, a collection of truck, train and ships air horns, and steam whistles.
Controlled by 12VDC solenoid valves,via a Highly liquid MIDI decoder, it can be played via laptop computer, keyboard or any MIDI output device.
Powered by a 65 horsepower, 4 cylinder gasoline driven compressor, supplying a 620 gallon air receiver tank at 100 PSI. Fabricated on a tandem axle car trailer, the entire assembly weighs 3 tons.
Based on theoretical calculations, this has a maximum acoustical output of over 100,000 watts.
Most of the single horns have a manufactures rated output at over 100Db at 100ft, The largest horn from a US navy ship audible for 7 miles at sea.
