Voila! Loud horn on a bike, and I have tested it at temps in the 30's and it works. I'll have to wait for winter for colder temps to test it on. It is LOUD!
Yeah, those will be loud. Of that I have no doubt. The thing is to be of practical use you have to be able to access the horn quickly while maintaining control of the bike in an *emergency ( ie...*swerving and or braking at the same time ). Unless the control button can be mounted next to the handlebar grips that's not going to be possible with a lot of different kind of horns.
