Moto Horn Makes Your Bicycle Sound Like Something It’s Not
One of the dangers of cycling is that bicycles don’t make a lot of sound. On the road that often means that they are not noticed by drivers. Making your bike sound like a phony motorbike, which is what the Moto Horn does, might help in that regard, but chances are that a $10 noisemaker won’t be loud enough to make all that much difference.
To me, that's kind of like a gazelle, after noticing lions keep trying to eat it, buying a zebra disguise.

Nice! I didn't see the video on the linked page. Apparently it's an old design kids used to use in the 70s... some spring loaded system.

I've always favoured ease of servicing.

You could try a trick from the '50's - a fat mudflap just at the muffler outlet.Makes a Tiger Cub sound like a mudflap too close to the muffler.
