Review: Way louder than I had ever expected out of something so small, cheap, and breath-powered! - This thing is loud. Don't test-blow it indoors or you might annoy the neighbors if you live in a multi-family dwelling! While I've heard louder portable disposable canister air-horns this one is as loud as many of them. When you factor in the limited number of blows from a canister this re-usable one is still going to be MUCH louder than any of them once they run out of charge and go dead. If you have ever found yourself out in the fog and surrounded by other boat traffic and had that bad feeling as your air canister went flat you will appreciate what a safety feature NEVER running out of air can be. For the extremely low price and small lightweight construction this is a piece of backup safety equipment you really can't afford to pass up. While it is not a perfect piece of gear for the price how could anyone complain? Minor issues that for this price are not that big of a deal: *You need to hold this with one hand while blowing into the hole. It can't be used like a whistle while just holding it in your mouth. A mouthpiece at the side hole would be nice although I suppose it would make the unit a little bit larger and then not fit into a stash bag. If you are trying to bail whle hanging on in rough seas that might be an issue. *It's not fully water-proof. While I don't think water would hurt it at all once it dried out it might not make much noise if it is wet or full of water inside where a safety whistle is self-clearing and some of them can even be blown underwater. That might make this less useful tied onto your PFD in a COB event. An emergency whistle would be a better choice here. In a storm with enough rain or spray this might not be the best choice if enough water gets in to muffle the vibrating membrane. A good survival whistle could easily be strung on the same line as this to keep them both together in your emergency kit and give you a choice. This is NOT a kayaking whistle as another reviewer pointed out. *Yet another reviewer said that his horn stopped working after a few years when the membrane came unglued inside. Any and all safety equipment should be inspected annually at the very least and a problem like should be rectified immediatly. This is boating, you know "a hole in the water you dump money into" and stuff doesn't last forever on any boat. Safety gear needs to be checked and re-checked to ensure it is all in proper working condition and this little guy is no exception. If in doubt, buy two of these -they are CHEAP. replacing a $3 item when it goes bad shouldn't bankrupt anyone. If it does, perhaps boating isn't the correct activity for you ;) *Finally, it says right on the packaging to "Blow into the SIDE of the horn." I have seen so many people complain about how this, and other similar breath-powered membrane horns here on desertcart wouldn't work, where they were trying to blow into the end the whole time. That just won't work! Review: Survival Horn my butt, one of the two stopped working within a month. Won't put my life in its hands. - We got two for walking in woods with our 3 dogs, for two reasons. First, dogs know the sound and will get a treat. Secondly, will scare off bears, hopefully lol. BUT, one broke within a month. Hey, I know there $3.00 bucks with prime and hitting the $25 order amount but they should last longer than that. ## Features - Powerful signaling capability: Emits 120 dB blasts audible up to 1 mile; ideal for emergencies, ensuring you can be heard when hiking, camping, or during outdoor adventures. - Lightweight and portable design: Weighing next to nothing and measuring 1.75 inches in diameter by 3 inches in length, it’s easy to carry and attach to your gear using the included break-away lanyard. - Durable and outdoor-ready: Features a protective stone and twig guard to shield the rubber membrane, ensuring reliable performance even in rugged camping or hiking conditions.Poncho-style with hood: Enjoy full coverage and flexibility with a hooded design that keeps you dry and protected in rain or wind. - High-visibility floating design: Bright orange color makes it easy to locate if dropped, and its ability to float ensures it’s retrievable during water-based activities like kayaking or fishing. - Essential for safety and rescue: A must-have emergency tool for signaling in the wilderness, keeping you prepared for unexpected situations during outdoor adventures. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005NI433Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #385,217 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #152 in Boat Safety Horns #349 in Camping Survival Kits | | Brand Name | Coghlan's | | Color | Orange | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (1,422) | | Date First Available | September 7, 2011 | | Fishing Technique | Spinning, Casting | | Included Components | Emergency Survival Horn | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 7 x 5 x 2 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 7.52 x 3.82 x 2.17 inches | | Item Weight | 0.08 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Coghlans | | Material | Polypropylene | | Model Name | 1240 | | Model Year | 2013 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Part Number | 1240 | | Style | Classic | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | Warranty Description | See manufacturer | ## Images ![Coghlan's Emergency Survival Horn - 115dB Loud Signal Device for Outdoor Safety, Hiking, Camping & Rescue - Compact, Lightweight & Reusable for All Adventures - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QHhM3NSLL.jpg) ![Coghlan's Emergency Survival Horn - 115dB Loud Signal Device for Outdoor Safety, Hiking, Camping & Rescue - Compact, Lightweight & Reusable for All Adventures - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UG61ilt9L.jpg) ![Coghlan's Emergency Survival Horn - 115dB Loud Signal Device for Outdoor Safety, Hiking, Camping & Rescue - Compact, Lightweight & Reusable for All Adventures - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xOvFa1fTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Way louder than I had ever expected out of something so small, cheap, and breath-powered! *by R***E on January 27, 2015* This thing is loud.

Won't put my life in its hands. *by J***. on March 7, 2016* We got two for walking in woods with our 3 dogs, for two reasons. First, dogs know the sound and will get a treat. Secondly, will scare off bears, hopefully lol. BUT, one broke within a month. Hey, I know there $3.00 bucks with prime and hitting the $25 order amount but they should last longer than that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can replace the rubber with a party balloon when rubber gets old *by C***S on June 5, 2025* Good for the price. Bought 2 years ago. Now after that time the rubber piece inside has "died." Opened up the top and replaced the rubber with a small rubber party balloon with part of the section you'd use to tie up the balloon cut off. Worked great! The horn is as loud as before. Would recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Coghlan's 1240 Emergency Survival Horn - SeaSense SAFETY BLASTER --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15251581-coghlans-emergency-survival-horn-115db-loud-signal-device-for-outdoor](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15251581-coghlans-emergency-survival-horn-115db-loud-signal-device-for-outdoor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
