What a simple idea - just blow - and it makes an enormous sound. I bought it because we have tons of bears on our trails in spring and fall. Not sure if I'd have the presence of mind to actually blow the thing if I was in the presence of a bear - but it offers some peace of mind while out there - and that counts for something. Sure beats having bear bells on - which make a trek in the woods way too loud for my tastes.

As a piece of safety equipment meant to help save lives, this should work perfectly and there should be nothing but a perfect review. Any deficiency in its performance, in my opinion, makes it utterly useless and worthless. This item doesn’t work AT ALL. No matter how hard you blow into it, it makes NO NOISE. As a matter of fact, to get even a TINY bit of noise into it, you have to very slowly, very calmly blow a very steady low pressure breath into it - which let’s be honest, in a panic where you need to alert anyone, how are you going to do that??? And that little bit of sound that comes out if you do it that way, is a super quiet sound barely audible at all. If you’re in a situation where you actually need to make an alerting noise, and all you have on you is this, you’re probably going to die.

Great signaling device! Easy to use. So loud, I almost need earplugs when blowing it full out. HOwever, it is also easy to regulate how loud by how much you blow into the device. It is super easy, however, to blow it its loudest.It does not sound like a regular whistle, which is a very high-pitched sound. The sound is not as high, making it more audible in certain situations. It does have the tone and audible range of a duck call, but is does not sound like a duck call. It has a more steady sound like a whistle, but again, slightly lower-pitched .It is larger than I expected...about the size of a small air-horn....it makes carrying more bundle-some but makes handling easier. It is more dependable than an air-horn in that it cannot run out of air when you need it most.Love the color....it is a beautiful blue! The lanyard could definitely be longer....it is too short (my only criticism). The other reviewers said it didn't work at first because they were blowing in the wrong place, but the device is (just now? or always has been?) clearly marked right on it how to use, as pictured in my 2nd image provided. The first image should give you an idea of the size of the device since I shot it in my hand.Overall, it was just what I was looking for in my particular applications: 1. a loud signal while hiking to scare off unwanted wildlife (bears and mountain lions), 2, a loud signal to ward off loose dogs while urban walking, 3. an emergency signal for both urban and wilderness, 4. an emergency signal for when I am volunteering in my local animal shelter. I always worried about the air-horns for this because I have had them fail and also run out of air.This is so much better than all the emergency whistles I have purchased and much better than an air horn.Thanks!

After learning about the existence of these human-powered, kazoo-like horns I bought three different kinds. From high to low price: the "Attwood Bellow Signal Horn", the "SeaSense Safety Blaster Horn", and the "Coghlan's Emergency Survival Horn".All allow you to simply blow to make a loud, kazoo-like sound.All allow you to replace the vibrating membrane with any thin sheet of plastic (such as plastic wrap).All are made of hard plastic and should be impervious to water damage, although the Coughland is made of a cheaper, more brittle plastic, while the SeaSense is of a more robust plastic, with the Atwood in between.In loudness, the Coughland was the softest, while the SeaSense and Atwood seemed equally very loud. It was easy with the Atwood to blow softer or harder to make the sound quieter or louder -- not so easy with the others.In pitch, the Coughland was the lowest, the Atwood in the middle and the SeaSense was the highest. Uniquely, the SeaSense can easily be configured to produce three different pitches -- which might make a difference depending upon the context (e.g. on open water vs in a forest or in a mountain valley).In size, the Coughland and SeaSense were about equal and could if needed fit into most pockets, the Atwood was two to three times as large.In price, the Atwood was three times the price of the other two.The Coughland and SeaSense both emit sound to the left and right (near your ears). Cupping your hands behind the left & right ends shield your ears a little from the loudness. The Atwood emits sound forward and away from you, which helps a little. All of them will be loud to your ears no matter what you do.

This product is supposed to be a loud safety horn for boating. I was going to use it in my classroom as an "attention getter". It sounds more like a tweet. I even had my husband {a pro boater} to try it, with no luck getting it to work. It doesn't cost much but don't risk buying it, for any reason, thinking you will get the one that works perfectly like I did... It will just make you mad!!!!!!!!!!!!
