The Acoustics
Frequency
Short wavelength
means lots of waves;
high frequency,
Frequency refers to the number of oscillations made high sound
by the diaphragm system per second. This deter-
mines whether the tone is deep or high-pitched. Fre-
quency is measured in hertz (Hz); 1Hz corresponds
to 1 oscillation per second.

Sound Pressure/Volume
Sound pressure and volume are measured in decibels (dB).
This relates to how far and fast the oscillating diaphragm
system is being deflected during horn activation.
Why the need for EMC protection? Illustration of Teflon Filter Technology
Electromagnetic interference occurs when multiple electronic devices within
the same electrical system interact together.
EMC protection (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) minimizes the amount of
electronic disturbance and interference to other electronic components in the
car, such as the ECU, in-car entertainment system, navigation system, etc. Small air particles Water, dust &
other large particles
