Vixen Horns Loud Electric Motor Driven Horn/Alarm/Siren (Air Raid) Small/Compact Chrome 12V VXS-9060C

This siren creates it's sound with a motor and a fan setup inside the housing. It pulls a fair amount of power and if your leads are nearby other wires carrying signals you'll get interference. I had to pull it apart and add capacitors across the motor and to the motor body.The siren only makes a single sound, not an up-down cycle so if you want that look at adding a relay or something to switch it on/off every half second or so.Great sound - very much like how I remember a fire engine siren.

The media could not be loaded. I put it on an adjustable usb power source and works great 👍

This was ordered for a friend to use to call his cattle. Knew from reviews it was small and simple to install. Both were true to descriptions. The sound volume is a bit disappointing, but we will give it a try. Will be a bit until the cattle adjust to this sound as a dinner bell. Will have to update as to effectiveness and longevity.

The media could not be loaded. Mounted vixen siren under my hood, using it as a cattle siren. Installation was very easy. Siren was not as loud as expected. But for the money good enough. After six uses the siren quit the motor still spins but has come apart from blades. I have not taken apart yet to see if fix will be simple.

"LOUD and POWERFUL" 27dB. :/

This is review of Vixen Horns Loud 110dB Electric Motor Driven Horn/Alarm/Siren (Air Raid) Small/Compact Red 12V VXS-9050C (sometimes Amazon mixes reviews so I clarify). This is a very nice little unit. Fully mechanical, no electronics involved, the motor spins a blade that makes a wh-a-a-a-h-h-h sound. It takes a few seconds to spin up, starts off slow and quiet and revs up to a high pitch scream. The DC motor runs on a wide range of voltage, as low as 2-3 volts for gentle noise, or kick it up to 20+ for extra loud (though I don't know how long it would last at that higher voltage). It takes about 1 Amp at 12V. This "old school" mechanical siren is a fun repose from modern electronic sirens. It is a relatively small unit, and while you can hear it a block away OK, it isn't loud at that distance. Pretty effective in 50' radius or so.

Not crazy about the sound,it's ok,loud for the size,looks are good,I'm good with it

I've had this for almost 2 whole years now, it still runs great. it's gone through many changes, yes, but it still works fine. I'd prefer the chrome version, because the rotor is actually molded and not like the 3D printed red ones. but yeah I recommend this one.
