The concept of "redneck" truly transcends cultural and geopolitical barriers. We're all the same.

[@mann_idonotreadreplies]

most rednecks i see near me are inbreds or racist lol

[@Vicus_of_Utrecht]

God damn right!

[@MadScientist267]

Yeah except these guys clearly live in a place that the US was supposed to be, so our modern rednecks fall short.

[@ribik64]

The difference between the decibel levels is not that big, but remember that this is an exponential scale, so as the guys said, it was hitting their ears hard.

[@-Jethro-]

It was more than 4x as loud, I’d call that a big difference. 😅

[@kevinkirk4285]

As I recall, every 10 decibels increase is double the sound pressure level. At idle, a typical jet engine is about 120 decibels. Is this ringing in my ears bothering you? Jets, drums (live music) and power tools have wrecked my hearing.

[@misterdeedeedee]

Logarithmic not exponential. But yeah +15db means it's 2.5x louder.

[@eefjuh5533]

+3db is x2

[@Defensive_Wounds]

Exactly! It is like earthquake Richter scale, similar concept applies, they grow exponentially in size/value but the number is just a 1 higher...lol

[@kay110]

For every 3 decibel increase, its actually double the sound level or volume. So 115 to 129 (14db higher) is roughly 5 times louder than the original car horn. (Double it aprox 5 times)

[@olafschermann1592]

100% correct!

[@johnjacobs4625]

close....3db increase takes double the power to acheive....but it takes 10db to double the actual sound....still about 3 times as loud

[@olafschermann1592]

Yes it’s a logarithmic scale

[@alexanderthomas2660]

Every time a decibel meter appears in a video, a comment like this is amongst the top ranked comments, and it almost always contains the same mistake. The sound is not “5 times louder.” Yes, the _amplitude_ of the sound is a factor 5 larger (actually probably not, because of how the dB(A) scale works, but as a rough approximation this is OK). But, our ears do not perceive linear amplitude. They also perceive loudness in a logarithmic manner, which is the whole reason why logarithmic decibel scales are always used to measure sound levels, with a certain frequency weighting to mimic the sensitivity of the average human ear. Therefore in theory, 129dB(A) would be perceived roughly 12% louder than 115dB(A) but that is also an utterly dodgy statement because we're around the pain threshold of 120dB(A) here, and the perception of pain is not logarithmic (and not linear either). The only thing dB(A) levels above 100 are truly useful for, is to quantify how quickly permanent hearing damage will occur.

[@nathansmith3608]

If you double it ~5x, wouldn't that be ~32x louder (2^5 = 32 times) ?

[@norrlandstruggles9798]

Fit a carburetor to the exhaust to see if you can make an exhaust flamethrower!

[@Patrick_Cooper]

Yeah flames would look good...

[@killerdeamonking]

Lawl , you don't need that to make flames , you just need a spark plug.

...in a Lada!

[@volvo09]

A friend of mine put a train horn on his car, once he honked it real quick and the valve got stuck open! It blasted non stop for about 8 seconds until the tank was empty. It was hilarious.... One of those "you had to be there" things. His neighbors were pissed.

[@herbiehusker1889]

Not Soviet . We are closer to Soviet than Russia.

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

Coming soon: the lifted Lada pickup with truck nuts on the back... they've got the train horn already. 😂

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

That was awesome...I don't think I've ever seen him laugh so hard in a single episode

[@timothybayliss6680]

There is a huge difference between 129 and 115dB. The actual sound pressure is somewhere around 20 times higher.

[@Choober65]

Crazy Ivan's 😂😂 This is fast becoming my favourite channel on KZbin. "Everyone had a bit of fun". RIGHT THERE is the reason for living. Garage 54 for ever

[@markcotter4213]

😂 I don't think we should drive around town with this....but let's go outside anyway! You guys are hilarious!!

[@Vicus_of_Utrecht]

We all had a blast!

[@gsp911]

You need to hook it up to the tire bead blaster, then you should be able to hear the horn's full potential. 🔊

Замысел в том и был что не использовать компрессор а именно выхлопную систему

[@zfloz9895]

I'm so sorry for your country, that it remains at a level of 1970, you can see,from the dirty cars, and just imagining the condition of the roads. A country that have so many natural resources, should have blossom like no other. It's so pretty, cose you have a lot of smart and talented people in your country. Cheers guys, wish you all the best!!!

[@dexewing1]

Pretty ingenious with the use of exhaust gases instead of a compressor. Loved this one!

[@twoeightythreez]

Its a very very loud lada fart

[@joshuagibson2520]

I want to see the pranks these dudes do to each other in the shop.

Upgrade to naval horn 🎉

[@niki123489]

The perfect horn if you are invited to a wedding.

[@-A-Hybrid-Skunk-Productions-]

I looooove this video. So much. It was sooooooo well done. Thanks for sharing. And hello to "BMI" Russian again. Thanks for the translations of all these awesome videos. Everyone have an awesomely epic day.

[@SwapBlogRU]

Powering it with the exhaust was actually quite clever.

[@-A-Hybrid-Skunk-Productions-]

@@SwapBlogRU Most Definitely. I didn't think it would work because the exhaust was so hot. But I'm glad I was wrong because it was an awesome video. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

[@ruikazane5123]

Now hook it full time to the exhaust for a 170% success. Two, three or four of them! Just in time for next year's New Year!

[@TS_69420]

I remember some guys from Czech putting train horn in Trabant, great fun! You should also try swapping gas and clutch pedal at some safe testfield!

[@Sekir80]

In a Trabant, that's nice! I'd put it in a Polski Fiat 126p. :D

[@GoshkaPolska]

​​@@Sekir80 Alittle biased because Im Polski and own a Polski Fiat 126p, so it is in my opinion the best car for but putting a train horn on it...

[@BojarskyLeGrand]

Decibels are logarithmic so it is in reality 5 time louder.

[@98f5]

LOL when i was a teenager i put a train horn on my ford escort, It took alot of effort since the air pump took 48 volts but it was insanely loud.

[@markysspotlight2472]

The best garage 54 videos for me is when Vlad genuinely can't stop laughing. 😂

[@72polara]

I love these videos where everyone comes out smiling and laughing.

[@Vicus_of_Utrecht]

Indeed, a respite from 🤡🌎

[@johnbelwell2461]

Well 129 vs 115 decibels is around 5 times more the sound pressure output, double is +3db. And to tell the truth the absolute SPL that microphone can measure is around 130db so it shows the maximum it can handle, the horn should have been way louder in such a close distance plus the amplification of the floor and space surrounding it.

[@erkinalp]

50 times

[@zf9903]

130 decibels. Not great, not terrible.

[@raoulwouters7074]

A horn from a train is fun. But from a chip is better. Looking forward to the update video.

[@irszgatti]

I just figured out why it's called garage 54

[@rfiskillingussoftly6568]

This video really blows......your horn! 😉🍻

[@urpo600]

115 to 129 IS a big different, if you increase something with 3db, it double the sounds. So 115 to 129 is a increase of about 32 times the original sound.

[@trm4life]

Use a horn as an exhaust tip! 😂

[@DukeCannon]

I want one for my lawnmower.

[@Danimorera65]

Hey there, hello from Spain! I love your videos and have been watching for a very long time. I was wondering, if anyone has ever asked, can you make a Lada remote control? An RC Lada. Thanks!

[@off-gridoutbackaustralia]

Fit a turbo to the Train horn force max air as you can through it

[@David-yy7lb]

Thats awesome no need for a compressor or air tank but Put a K5LA train horn on the Lada 👍🏿

[@T_Burd_75]

I need one of these on my Geo Metro. 😉

[@Fireship1]

In New York and New Jersey, this should be standard equipment

[@7mgte490]

Nice 😁👍

[@thedoctor2102]

Try running the exhaust gasses through a radiator to cool them a little.

[@thedoctor2102]

I neglected to think about how to pull out the h20...

[@thedoctor2102]

@Michaels Carport don't run the exhaust gasses through through the cars radiator find another unused one that doesn't leak to much.

[@theflashjaxx]

its twice as loud on a logarithmic scale

[@term0s]

Add two-three additional horns for more power ;)

[@christophermarshall5765]

I already have a freight train horn installed in my car. I use a 160LPM FAD compressor and 6L air tank for it. The air system is set up so I can use it for other purposes such as puncture repair work.

[@davidhsloan8732]

this was a good one cut the horn off and bolt up a megaphone

[@onyxbackstrom3379]

Guys I'd love to see you make a serpentine belt out of clothing belts! :D

a plane taking off makes 130 decibels....their horn is loud really loud

[@danbergthold3481]

An excellent Lada upgrade; congratulations! Now you'll need enhanced headlights to match the horn upgrade. May I suggest roof mounting a WWII anti-aircraft search light on your Lada? These refinements will be quite useful for all of those times when you need to travel through a community of deaf citizens on an extremely dark night.

How about a CPVC header for a lada 😂

[@Fpvfreaky]

Perception of volume is always subjective and depends on one's own hearing but generally speaking, an increase of 10 dB roughly corresponds to the perceived volume doubling in intensity. Thus, 60 dB are perceived as twice as loud as 50 dB. So 129 db is loud lol🫨😂

[@EladSi]

Hahahaha that's a good one 😂 Now attach this horn to a big healthy turbocharged engine. It should be awesome!

*This russian channel is Brilliant… No need for compressor…*

[@RCmodelManiac]

"Not that big difference" - yeah... Actually it is little bit less than 32 times louder!!! - Really - not so much :D WARNING! BORING SCIENCE BELOW!: Every +3db means it is twice time louder than before! (+3db= x2, +6db= x4, +9db= x8, +12db= x16, +15db= x32!!!!) That means if normal horn generates 115db that the train horn with 129db (+14db more) is near 32 times louder!!!

[@karney44m]

dB is exponential, each 10dB increase in acoustics is double the SPL, for electrical dB 3dB is double but still exponential.

[@simonhill3088]

Great stuff fellas 😉

😅😅😅 that was funny and awesome. Hilarious when everyone came outside. It's awesome all your neighbours can have a laugh.

The smoke is probably water condensation and it’s being nebulized to the fog. Or maybe water vapor from the engine. It’s probably gonna freeze.

[@Jefflantern483]

Holy cow! That horn is fucking loud & from a train in that Lada!👍👍 Yup want that horn in my car!🤣😂🤣😂

Need a spark disable and for one cyl . Then install a spark plug in the trumpet for the horn. When it’s blowing short two cylinders and start the coil for the horn , flames should be five -10’

swap a cars AC compressor with a household AC compressor. what will happen? I think frost and a bit of snow will start coming out of the car's vents.

[@QuantumLeap83]

The decibel scale is logarithmic. An increase of 10 is a factor of ten. So an increase from 115 to 129 is actually about 14 times louder
