Why does a car horn sound muffled when water gets inside?
1 Answers
The reason a car horn sounds muffled when water gets inside is due to poor internal contact. Spiral electric horn: It produces sound waves of a certain pitch through continuous vibration of the diaphragm. The sound is amplified by the resonance plate and speaker tube before being emitted. The resonance plate is rigidly connected to the diaphragm, producing harmonics during vibration to enhance volume and improve tone quality, making the sound pleasant to the ear. A capacitor is connected in parallel between the contacts, which serves to extinguish arcs, protect the contacts, and improve tone quality. Disc-type electric horn: Its working principle is the same as that of the spiral electric horn, and its structure is basically the same, except that it lacks a speaker tube. The sound is emitted after being resonated by the resonance plate. Additionally, the magnetic circuit uses a solenoid electromagnet instead of an E-shaped iron core. The solenoid electromagnet is more compact and has stronger electromagnetic attraction compared to the E-shaped electromagnet.
