Air Horns

Is there a continuous sound bicyle speaker i can put on my bike to alert motorists of my whereabouts.?

I used to have a horn or my bike, but i had to keep honking it every 2 seconds coming up to junctions, otherwise motorists would just ignore me, even though i where a bright yellow flurescent jacket. I broke off though, becuase i fell off my bike slipping on some wet tarmac. I also have ultra bright LED lights front and back, yet i still get ignored, and motorists still try and cut me up.

1. Maybe try a bull horn!

3. just do what i do and yell at everyone i wish you could see me, its quite the sight
4. just shout COMING THROUGH YOU SONS OF B I T C H E S
5. Buy a riders hard hat, maybe with a light on top. Or: Buy a deck of playing cards, and some clothes pins. As kids we used to clip the cards to the wheel frame, so they would hit the spokes. Then when your riding, you'll get the "click, click,click" as the wheel turns. Works every time. It makes it sound like a "Harley Davidson." <}:-})
6. Pee Wee Herman never had those problems and he had a pretty cool horn. Maybe it is the method that you are honking your horn? If that doesn't work your need to hook up fire truck horn. You can pick one up for $24.99 at www.overstock.com. If that still doesn't work, The Duke Boys had a hell of a horn too, on The General Lee. I can picture you whistling Dixie on your bicycle through a busy intersection.
7. A few thoughts: 1. With stereo systems, AC, cell phones, and god knows what, motorists are enclosed in their own little audio universe. They often don't hear police, fire, and ambulance sirens. You can't carry a big enough sound system to get their attention. 2. Be sure that you are following traffic laws yourself. I have my suspicions that perhaps you're riding on the wrong side of the road, or ignoring stop signs. You are much more likely to be seen and noticed if you are in a place where motorists are expecting to see another vehicle, and behaving the way they expect another vehicle to behave. 3. Use your hand signals for stops and turns. Motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists are more likely to respect you and give you a break if you give them a clue as to your next move. Collisions happen because of surprise, when one or both parties do something unexpected, or aren't paying attention. True accidents are rare. ---- Edit: I nearly ran into a cyclist last night matching your self-description when he blasted through a stop sign without even a pretense of slowing down or stopping.
8. Try learning a loud ear piercing whistle. I learned as a kid to whistle the loud through-your-teeth kinda whistle. That is my warning when I ride -- gets attention being different. So if you don't know how to ride, buy one of those 3 note annoying soccer whistles on a lanyard around your neck. Ride into a congested area hold it in your mouth and toot the shrill sound and get their attention. The other sound device I have used is a aerosol boat horn placed in my handle bar water bottle cage. Loud as a Semi Truck horn. I also ride with flashing white (front) and red (rear) Cats Eye LED lights -- even in daylight in the heavy traffic. Not continuous sound -- but very effective none the less.
