- air horns, composed of a pressurized air source coupled to a horn, designed to create an extremely loud noise
- fireworks, such as firecrackers, bottle rockets, bang snaps and others
- party horns, paper tubes often flattened and rolled into a coil, which unrolls when blown into, producing a horn-like noise
- ratchets, orchestral musical instruments played by percussionists. See also derkach and rapach.
- sirens
- vuvuzelas, plastic horns that produce a loud monotone note
- the head joint of recorders
- couesnophones
