I have ever so slightly out of phase twin stebel magnums on there at the moment, so if I time it right, my horns are currently sort of multi-tone.

That's well above the pain threshold, so you'd need to always wear earplugs.

I can't imagine why you'd need more than the twin magnums though.

Can you fail an MOT for 'horn too loud'?

Is that the same as "MOT Tester sh*t themselves" failure?

In theory, my current horns are around 140dBA (strict theory would be 142dBA), but they don't hurt - not that I've put my head right next to them!

A jet at takeoff 100ft away from you is 135dBA.

Hovis, you'll have to find my keys first mate.
