Traditional bike horns may get a motorist's attention if they are directly beside the rider who is honking, but they are typically hard to hear over the other noise pollution on the street. Being heard and seen is especially important on a motorcycle as they can sometimes be [hidden from view from larger vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-varia-rearvue-820) on the road, which is why Peter Olt developed the 139 decibel horn to keep bikers on the radar. The attachment alters both the pitch and the intensity of the horn honk depending on how loud the cyclist needs to be in a given situation. It also triggers the [front LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wnd-helmet) of the bike, causing them to rapidly blink to ensure that other drivers know where the cyclist is. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Horns:** Developing personalized and customizable horns for vehicles to enhance their road safety. - **Innovative Automotive Safety:** Integrating innovative solutions for enhancing road safety, particularly for two-wheeler vehicles. - **Sound-based Signaling Systems:** Exploring the development of sound-based signaling systems for vehicles to enhance their visibility and awareness on the road. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Innovating the automotive industry with new technologies to enhance road safety. - **Motorcycle:** Integrating innovative safety solutions for motorcycles to provide an improved riding experience. - **Audio Equipment:** Exploring opportunities in developing high-decibel audio equipment to improve road safety for various vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Engine Simulating Scooter Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/segway-engine-wireless-speaker.md) - [Ludicrously Loud Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loud-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Music-Focused E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noordung-boombox.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Sports Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bh51m-nso.md) - [Featherweight Bicycle Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featherweight-bicycle-lights.md) - [Fully-Integrated Smart Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sena-phantom.md) - [Tech-Visible Bike Reflectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radian-wingman.md) - [Connected Cyclist Radar Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bryton-gardia-r300l.md) - [Custom-Built Sci-Fi Series Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumblebee-bike.md)
