Its great for getting other cyclists and pedestrians attention but for vehicles, not too effective.
By contrast, my moped horn gets attention of drivers in close proximity practically every time. It was a bit tricky to mount it so it sounded loud - a poor mounting could dampen the sound by a lot. I only use it on pedestrians when they have headphones on and I already exhausted the capabilities of my loud bell.
