train horns
Crossing alert sounds
Train horns are the loud warning devices mounted on locomotives, producing a distinctive low-pitched blast audible from great distances.
They signal approach at crossings and warn of danger.
The term also refers to aftermarket vehicle horns that mimic this sound—often obnoxiously loud, installed on trucks or cars to startle other drivers or pedestrians: Some jerk with train horns blasted me at the stoplight.
