I just use my lungs. I’m loud from my time in the army so shouting has always worked.

I like the horns that go "awoooga."

When I was a kid, it was playing card rubberbanded to my chainstay so I could pretend I was riding a motorcycle from the noise

Nowadays, I prefer to just let out wolf whistle. Pierces even the best noise cancelling headphones and busiest traffic noise.

Air horn because it works against cars.

Once I heard a kind verbal "toot toot!" from some toddlers riding past their teeny tiny bikes

I use a small and simple bell, mainly because of the size.

I've got a little Knog bike bell. You press it once and it lets out a "ding" once. I'll press it two or three times if I see someone wearing headphones who won't hear the "On your LEFT" as I come up on them.

Bonus, I can put my thumb on the bell real easy and it shuts up.

It was cheap, does the job, and is really small.

130db-150db impact horn with remote.

playing music publicly works and probably the only time it's not annoying.

I've got a tiny bell installed upside down on my handle bars so that it's barely visible. I almost exclusively ride on forest trails but people clearly don't seem to hear me coming as I constantly sneak up on them so I had to give in and buy one.

Crane e-ne bells are neat with a nice sound and probably outlast the bike too

Just a random small bell that was already on my bike. I don't want to annoy pedestrians and i ring it from way far away. Not interested in having a bell that "works against cars".

I have one of those modern bells that basically hits a little tuning fork, and a modern electric bell that is essentially just a motorcycle horn if there's a blind turn or dangerous situation.

With everyone using those god damn earpods now, I think you could literally have an air horn attached to your bike, and they still wouldn't hear it. I just have a little plastic bell attached to my bike, and I have about a 20% success rate with it. It always gives me pause when someone acts startled, and shocked, yet I've rang my bell 4 times, and my 108 tooth hub freewheeling is literally roaring like a swarm of bees. Yet it's naturally my fault I've startled them.

I like those classic ring ring one as it doesn't sounds aggressive just to tell people i'm approaching, but sadly i couldn't find it in market near me. On the other hand, i almost had a collision with someone who wear earphone and stare right into their phone while on their evening stroll, where after i ring my bell, he proceed to shift his direction onto my path. Have to move out of the way to not hit him, and he only see me after i went pass him.

Airzound - lighter than a metal bell, 120dB of pure terror. Works against cars. Crane E-Ne for everything else.

Crane Suzu. Looks and sounds nice, reasonably loud, affordable.
