Who are these people in the horn-blowing truck? In the cul-de-sac where I live, usually around the morning between 10-12am, this open-back truck with things such as bikes and chairs in it drives slowly up and begins blowing this loud and EXTREMELY annoying horn. Usually they just drive around the circle making their obnoxious noise, then leave. However, if there is a skip out, they start taking from it and putting it into the back of their truck, even without anyone's permission. It happened at my house and it just happened next door. Who are these people and what are they doing?

(He's a car-fanatic) I thought it'd be nice to get it for him this christmas, unfortunately, i've look everywhere, even ebay and can't find one. or else i've only found ones that fits trucks only, but he wants it on his sports car. and i don't know what air horns sound like, are they what I'm supposed to getting? I'm a bit confused, if someone can point me in the right direction that'd be great thanks! I'm in australia, but can pay with credit card so overseas website shouldn't be a problem
Can you read the paragraph and tell what the two imaginative comparisons about the truck are? Even the taxi horns dwin-dle down to a precocious few in the gray and pink moments of dawn. Suddenly there is another sound, a morning sound that taunts the memory for recognition. The growl of a predatory monster? No, just garbage trucks that have begun a day of scavenging.Trash cans rattle outsiderestaurants. Metallic jaws on sanitation trucks gulp and masticate the residue of daily living, then digest it with a sat- isfied groan of gears.
Do fire trucks mess up their horns? In places like NY with a lot of traffic fire trucks just keep honking the horn non-stop. I know that if you do that with a normal car you would burn out your horn, but does the same happen to fire trucks. Sometimes they honk 20 straight. You can't do that with a car. BTW My aunt ran out her horn within the first 10 minutes in a traffic jam.
Why do truck drivers write 'Horn OK please' on the rear of their trucks? Why has there always got to be an 'OK' in between 'horn please'? What does it mean? For one, 'Horn please, OK?' could have made some sense... But this does not make any sense to me at all. (For those of you who have never seen such a term, it is written at the back of 95 out of 100 trucks in India.)
Why don't aircraft have horns? It has always seemed to me that horns are essential on aircraft while on the ground, yet, no company has them installed. Why not? Collisions could be avoided. Why aren't the insurance companies and pilots insisting on them? If a nearby jet is rolling toward another, there is communication via 3rd party. How stupid is that? Why can't a pilot simply toot a seriously loud horn? Trains, busses, trucks, and boats have em...WHY NOT JETS? They are so expensive, and so fragile. .

Do car horns have a universal pitch, or are they all different? Does the standard car horn play a certain musical pitch? If so, what is it? Maybe trucks have a certain standard pitch, cars have different ones, and SUV's have different ones? I am going to guess that certain auto makers install standard horns in all of their vehicles. So all hondas would have the same pitch, all fords another, etc?

I have these big loud air horns and there are these cats roaming the parking lot. What would you do? I am a truck driver sitting in my truck doing answers. I'm sitting in this big parking lot, and I keep seeing these cats roaming around looking for food scraps. And I've got some LOUD air horns that are mounted on the truck bottom. I'm temped to toss some food out to attract the cats,then get down on that horn to watch their reaction. But here in laredo Tx, it is night and there are other trucks around me with their drivers sleeping. If I blast my horn, the only claws and fangs that will come out will probably be those of the other truck drivers. And so, my Y/A friends, what do you think I should do?
