As stated, anywhere from JC Whitney to Harbor Freight has air horns. As you might suspect, you the more you pay, the better horn you will get--HF's horns start at around 15 bucks, but you can easily stick a grand or more into a good locomotive-type setup. The lower-end ones will not have enough air for more than a quick toot, and will usually only have one or maybe two horns. Higher dollar ones will included multiple horns--the perceived volume goes up as the chord deepens, so 3, 5, and even more horns are common in more elaborate setups. Of course, that means you need more air, which means a bigger compressor, and often a reserve tank as well, but you could raise a deaf man from the dead with some of the higher-end setups, to the point that you might be wise to check local laws before sticking big bucks into something that will cost you bigger bucks the first time someone gets irate because you made them hit their head on the car roof when you "got their attention". Plenty of plans on Youtube and elsewhere to make your own as well if you're so inclined. For myself, I have an old 60's-era bullhorn that my father and one of my uncles had went halves on, neither one of them having the 15 bucks it cost at the time to buy it outright. They passed it back and forth for a number of years and I finally ended up with it. I can remember calling cows with it when Dad had it mounted on his '67 Impala, and I've had it on several vehicles since, including my current truck. Gets a smile and a chuckle from kids of all ages, and will still bring a whole herd of cows to to the fence to see who that feller with the musical voice is!
