- Summary
- COI synopsis: The fierce two-tone horn fitted on most emergency vehicles can be deafening to pedestrians but inaudible to the driver in the cab of a noisy heavy diesel vehicle. The Mini Hailer is a siren with a high pitched warble, far less ear shattering to the passer-by, but perfectly audible above any amount of traffic or engine noise, to anyone in the emergency vehicle’s path.
