HornBlasters, Inc. is an American air horn and air suspension distribution company. It manufactures and distributes horn kits for vehicles as well as other automotive accessories.[1][1][2][3]
Controversy
HornBlasters gained publicity through the production of an online viral video series titled Terror on the Streets. The videos featured various pranks, using air horns and public address systems, that helped promote the HornBlasters brand. Local authorities highlighted the dangers of using excessively loud horns, and local residents complained of potential hearing damage to themselves and their children as a result of irresponsible use of unnecessarily loud horns, in addition to the general nuisance caused to the general public by the small group of people using these horns.[3]
