HornBlasters explained

HornBlasters is the manufacturer of train horns and air horns for trucks and cars.

HornBlasters was founded in 2002 by Matthew Heller in the United States.[1] Initially it produced high-powered air horns for cars and trucks and later started manufacturing train horns.[2] It also sold horns to the home of the Atlanta Falcons, Mercedes Benz Stadium.[3]

On November 16, 2021, HornBlasters announced that they had acquired the Air Whistles Division of Circor Leslie Controls, the oldest locomotive horn manufacturer in the United States. As a result, Circor Leslie Controls' horns, including its Supertyfon RS horn, were sold by HornBlasters starting in 2021.[4]

In 2022, HornBlasters opened a museum for horn history in Florida.[5]
