Imagine La Cucaracha being the last sounds before a galleon emerges from the clouds and rams straight into a squid, life flashing before the eyes of their humble crew as the pieces of ship fall straight to earth.

Or maybe wind chimes to scare the bajeezus out of an enemy crew.

Perhaps a vuvuzela to give it that sporting feel, or the siren of some goliath.

Maybe we could sound a submarine alarm before we start diving the ships, shrapnel exploding around us as the captain frantically tries to bring it out of range.

It would give the ships and captains a lot of character, although it's a bit different than the typical "cosmetics" present. But, for vehicles, I think this just may be the essential personal expression of a steamship crew in combat. Also, it seems to fit quite nicely into the lore, although we would need to make them more worldly than the examples pasted here.

I would definitely buy a horn if it was a crowd shouting "OLE!" and use it every time i go shooting up over a charging pyrmadons head using hydrogen.

This idea is genius!

I'm fully in favor of this. We should also have:

Dixie horn (If your ship has one of these, you might be a redneck)

That is the sound of death.

Seems about perfect for the Northern Fjords.

So that's where the sound comes from. Never realized it, to be quite honest with you.

Ship horns are a good thing. Both in form of Figureheads and in form of sound.

Also I request majestic rhino roars to be added as a horn:

Now that is a sound to strike fear in the hearts of your enemies.
