Sadly the sound of the horn used in this clip is actually air powered fog horn from Scotland.

Boy howdy, our lives are jokes compared to those of old. Been there old top had my frog idea when I was a kid. Come to working age and got a job at the local pool store cause I loved the water, lo and behold if my idea ain’t sitting on a shelf in front of me. If any of yall think you have a million dollar idea. Act. If it’s just a part act on it. That part could act as heart valve or some other life saving deal. Don’t stop inventing.
