No measuring distance is published with this rating, by our supplier or by anyone else selling this style of horn, so there is no way to check it and no way for us to stand behind it as a tested measurement. Treat 120 dB as the category rating it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eWhat we can tell you honestly is the practical part: it is an electronic siren tone, not a bell, and it is loud in the way a car horn is loud rather than the way a bicycle bell is loud.

A flexible silicone strap threads through a lug under the horn, stretches around your handlebar and hooks back onto the lug.
