Horntones MP3 Automod: Blast any MP3 through your car’s horn!
You’re in a left-turn lane, waiting for the light to change. In front of you, a ricer is busily attenuating the 15Hz on his electric-blue graphical EQ. In front of him, a businessman catches up on his reading by propping the annual report across the steering wheel. In front of him, an elderly lady inexorably falls asleep. The light turns green - you have seconds to make it through the light before you miss the cycle, but nobody’s moving. You could lay on your horn, but that anemic whimper wouldn’t get anybody’s attention. With a grin, you reach to a small gray box on your dashboard, and press button number four.
With a mirror rattling bellow, a steam whistle blasts forth from your car, instantly jarring alert every slowass in front of you. They get moving, and you make it through the light, just as it turns yellow. Well done!
This scenario was made possible by the installation of the world’s greatest car-mod. No, it’s not hydraulics and ground-effect lights. It’s Horntones - the car horn that plays MP3s!
256 megabytes of MP3s, in fact, with a USB slot to install new ones. You can assign up to 10 triggers to play whatever tone you like whenever you like, even group those sounds into themes to find the right tone for the right situation.
- Dixie at the demolition derby
- The Empire Strikes Back theme when you pull up to the IRS office
- A Godzilla roar when stuck behind a Toyota
- The Back to the Future theme as you accelerate to 88 miles per hour
- Road-Runner “Meep-Meep!” right before you floor it
- The beginning of “Gimme More” if your name happens to be Britney
To install a new horntone, upload your MP3 to horntones.com, and use their service to convert your sound file into a horntone your device can play back. Sweet!
