The fog horn (horn in English) is a sound signaling accessory that allows surrounding boats to spot you, thus providing better safety on board. It thus complements a visual warning such as a reversing light or a distress flare. Thus, in bad weather or fog, an audible warning may prove more effective than a visual warning in signaling. Like a horn or a whistle, fog horns and warning devices locate you when visibility is reduced or even zero.

The operation of the fog horn is simple: you just have to blow into the plastic tube which amplifies the sound in order to produce a direct and powerful sound signal. This alarm is effective and requires no recharging for long-term use. The buzzer is divided into two parts. There is a liquefied gas cartridge and a trumpet-shaped support to place on it. It is triggered by finger pressure to produce a loud sound signal, after the gas has liquefied. This type of sound horn is also very effective and offers great power.
