cruise ship horns ?

[cruzin w chris]

does anybody know of any site where i could download the sound of a cruise ship horn ?

[Spikesgirl]

Have you tried doing a search for sound effects? I know we got one off some site a couple of years ago, but can't remember the address. We did an advanced search for ship horn sound effect.

 

Hope that helps,

The Disney Ships probably have the coolest horns, its the first few notes of When you wish upon a star, it's in a wav file somewhere in cyberspace.

I will never forget standing on the front of CCL Sensation in New Orleans waiting to leave port that night and the horn went off. My wife and I jumped 5 feet in the air.:eek: :eek:

Strangely enough, ship's horns are properly called "Ship's whistles" even though they are generally air or electric horns nowadays.

 

I was standing at the base of the Arcadia's funnel as we left one port, completely forgetting that the horn...er... whistle.... was rather close. To say I jumped when it sounded is one of those English understatements.

 

And then my lovely wife went purple from laughing so hard :D

The loudest ships whistle I ever heard was while aboard the QM2

They have two (one is from the original Queen Mary). At one time

they sounded both at the same time while I was on deck. What a

thrill.

Here's a video clip of the Queen Mary 2 sounding her deep throated horn in Norway.

There are some folks on the HAL CC Board who use HAL ship's horn as ring tone on the cell phones. LOVE IT!

[Gocruzin]

Can anyone give me "dummy" instructions on how to make the ship's blast my ringer? I searched one of the apps under sound effects and couldn't find one. Thanks.

Most ship's horns, including QM2's, sound like a kazoo compared to QE2's

 

 

(turn your volume up!)

Aren't most youtube videos now downloadable, in which case you would also get the audio file?

Maybe I could hear my phone if I had that!
