Horns are a part of the vehicle that must be installed in your vehicle. This horn functions as one of the vehicle's safety components because it is used to warn and communicate with other drivers without using words. Therefore, many people prefer horns with loud and big sounds. 

The natural horn from car manufacturers is usually called a disc horn, which is a horn shaped like a disc. However, unfortunately, the factory-installed horn from car manufacturers cannot sound loudly when there is water or mud on the horn, or is commonly referred to as a muffled sound. For this reason, many car owners replace the factory horn with a waterproof horn. 

A waterproof horn is considered water-resistant, where the horn will still sound well even when submerged in water. But is that really the case? 

What Is a Waterproof Horn? Is It Really Water-Resistant? 

A waterproof horn is considered resistant to water and mud. Many misunderstand the term waterproof or water-resistant in this type of waterproof horn. In fact, this horn is not completely undamaged if it comes into contact with water; an electronic item will still be damaged if submerged in water, even if it has a waterproof label. However, this waterproof horn is designed to have a shape that prevents water from entering.

The model of this waterproof horn has been perfected and designed in such a way that it is claimed to prevent water and mud from entering the snail shell channel, which is the core part of the horn. If the core part of the horn cannot be penetrated by water and mud, then the horn will produce a good and loud sound, without any muffled sound.

So, how does this waterproof horn work to claim it cannot be penetrated by water and mud? 

How the Waterproof Horn Works

The way a waterproof horn works is by making it impossible for water to enter due to the specially designed shape of the snail shell channel that is closed and difficult for water and mud to enter. 

In addition, when there is a spray or splash of water hitting the horn, the waterproof horn is designed to immediately expel that water or the water will be difficult to settle inside the horn. 

Therefore, when using a waterproof horn, you do not need to worry that your horn will produce a muffled sound due to water entering. Your horn's sound will remain strong and loud even in rainy weather. 

Although designed to be difficult for water to enter, this waterproof horn can still be penetrated by water at certain times. The horn can still be damaged if submerged in water for a long time despite the waterproof claim. Therefore, the horn must be repaired immediately by removing water from the horn to prevent damage.

It is very important for you to perform regular car service to quickly identify any damage to your car's parts, especially on parts that are not factory-installed or modified.
