Better Bell ?

- - I have an "Incrediblell" which is good and loud, but it's loud in all directions. I don't need it loud toward the sides, I want it to project its sound straight ahead.
Has anyone invented a bicycle bell that is designed to direct all its sound energy straight ahead?

Try a horn. Like the Air Zound. Forward firing bells would be a potentially expensive accoustic experiment
