I bought this horn thinking it was going to be louder than the stock horn on my '07 Ducati Monster S4RS. I bought a sound meter to see how close to the advertised 126 decibel rating it would be. I set up the sound meter 5 feet from the bike, opposite from where the stock horn was. After several beeps, the stock horn averaged about 116 decibels. I installed the mini-Banshee, repeated the sound tests, and it averaged 104 decibels. I ended up putting the OEM horn back on, and put the mini-Banshee away on the shelf. Don't waste your money on this horn.

Hi Robert, We're sorry to hear about your experience. In any event, measuring a dbl reading is based on a calibrated device as compared to a cell phone app or another instrument not calibrated. Also specific conditions such as inside vs. outside. We would like you to return the unit for a refund. Having the unit sit on a shelf as compared to saving lives on the street is of more value to the non for profit riding organizations we donate our salvageable returns. Please refer to our website for the address.
