Nash Point Lighthouse - Fog Horn

This sounds loud - but try standing next to it when it goes off - Impressive!
Manned by Trinity House volunteers the Lighthouse is open March to October weekends - for a small fee well worth a trip but the Fog horn is free as the Wales Coast Path goes right past - fog horn only sounds at certain times best to check!

[@mattlohr]

The single most memorable sound effect of 2019 cinema.

[@1gnore_me.]

reminded me of silent hill ... in fact a lot of the lighthouse reminded me of silent hill, in a good way

[@gamignmaster6977]

This sound is haunting. The first time I saw this movie I genuinely felt fear JUST by the looming foghorn that goes through nearly the whole movie.

[@martinshewfelt1236]

Me too. I thought it was a specially engineered sound, but I guess a lot of foghorns sound like this

[@slickstrings]

@@martinshewfelt1236 i think that each foghorn is supposed to sound different so you can identity the location. Like each lighthouse beam is different.

[@jezcolborne6329]

@@martinshewfelt1236 this is a fog siren not a horn. It has trumpets to make the sound of the siren louder but its no horn

[@jezcolborne6329]

@@slickstrings some lighthouses had horns like diaphones and others had air horns as in super tyfons and some had sirens as in the case of this one as in his is a SIREN! No horn can emulate a rapid rising of sound like a fog siren as it works the same as smaller electric or compressed air sirens

I went to see the movie The Lighthouse stoned out of my mind. I couldn’t find any friends who wanted to see it much less have even heard of it...so I went solo. The theater it was playing in was the smallest I’ve ever been in and as I was walking down the aisle making my way in, I noticed it was very warm. The theater probably sat around 30 people or so and I had to sit in between complete strangers. Once the movie started, I started to bug out!! I had tightness in my chest, my palms were sweaty, I was having a hard time breathing and sitting still. Then I heard the sound of the horn and I nearly lost it!!! It really got to me, so much so that I was on the verge of getting up and walking out. I’m so glad I didn’t. It was truly a very intense experience and an incredible film.

[@tyceshirrell1681]

[@richardsantanna5398]

I didn't realize a real foghorn sounds exactly like in the movie.

[@vaudevillian7]

Richard Santanna this one does, but not all do

[@vaudevillian7]

They needed to sound unique, just like the painted patterns on the tower and the pattern of flashes on the light - all clues to help mariners know where they are at sea

[@jezcolborne6329]

Its no horn as its a siren

[@kberkstr]

​@@jezcolborne6329 though the soundmaking device used is a type of siren, the nautical terminology used is still "horn". Just like how a ship's whistle is still called a "whistle" even though they're usually a pneumatic horn nowadays.

[@jezcolborne6329]

@@kberkstr to me its still a siren that sounds through HORNS on top of the fog signal building. A horn has a diaphram or cylinder which goas back and forth to create the sound. This is a fog siren

[@thepotentielhunter]

The sound from the Nash Point fog horn was so comforting to hear as a child from our house at the top of Porthkerry hill in Barry whilst tucked up in bed on a winters night, also the lightship lamp light sweeping across the bedroom walls through the curtains in the 1960s.

[@jezcolborne6329]

Sorry but that is a fog siren because of how it ramps up. A super tyfon can't do that and that is a HORN like a diaphone is a horn. The only other air power device that can do that is a steam whistle because of how much steam you want to put in the whistle

[@OkenWS]

Growing up in Rhoose, only experienced the incredible phenomenon of a true doldrums British fog a few times. The complete silence, but for two things - the desperate horns of boats in the channel trying to stay safe in the pea soup, and this siren. Reminds me of the other - far creepier - phenomenon that anyone from Barry will know - the chemical incident siren at Dow Corning. Mum and Dad's first flat together was on the fence line of the chemical works, and they knew if the siren went, they likely were in deep trouble. I always got a kick out of bringing other installers from the Valleys to Barry on a Monday to assist on a job and seeing their varied reactions when a literal second world war siren went off at 3:15PM for the weekly test. Side note, I love how this comments section has brought together local people who grew up in South Glamorgan and randoms from all over the world who watched The Lighthouse. Not often our bumpkin farm county is featured in international media.
