What we need is an equation that tells us how much louder the horn will be for all that higher pressure. I suspect that the small plastic horn limits the maximum decibels no matter the pressure.
As for the wrapping, I doubt it would do much. The shear strength of the velcro wouldn't make a difference. It will keep all the exploded pieces together, though
But you gave me an idea...my sons' air bottle for their paintball markers are fiberglass wrapped. That little cylinder is strong, and can handle a high pressure.
As for decibels as a function of airflow or pressure, that's a very complicated subject. That simple hoop stress equation I posted earlier probably put half the forum to sleep. We don't even want to get into airborne noise equations.
You are probably correct in presuming it has a decibel limit...based on size and materials.
