foghorns
Coastal warning blasts
Foghorns are loud, low-pitched horns used to warn ships in foggy conditions.
Lighthouses and vessels sound foghorns to signal their presence when visibility is poor.
The deep, mournful sound carries well through fog.
Figuratively, someone with a foghorn voice speaks in a loud, penetrating tone: She announced dinner in her foghorn voice.
