Worst NHL Goal Horns

Last week I gave you the top five horns in the NHL, so here are the worst horns in the NHL, in my opinion.

Worst 5 NHL Goal Horns


The horn is an Airchime KH3 in which only the two highest pitched bells go off while the lower one is fouled. I am not a fan of most of the higher pitched horns in the league, and this is no exception. It is high enough that it is hard to hear at times. It is a horn that is as annoying as the Montreal fans themselves. 



The horn itself is a Ibuki 200 diaphone fog horn. It is easily the lowest horn in the league. Similar to the Montreal horn, this horn is very hard to hear due to its pitch. It is also accompanied by a police siren that gets annoying very quickly. 



The horn is a recording of an unknown horn. Before the 1990's, it was a real horn, but the creation of the Godawful goal song led to the recording of the horn being used, as the horn is in the same recording of the song itself. Another horn that incorporates an annoying siren as well. This all leads to a horn that is as bad as Sean Avery. 



The horn is similar to a Kahlenberg Model Q-4 Horn. It is the same horn the Whalers used before moving. Easily one of the most disgusting sounding horns in the league. There are a ton of sounds that also accompany the horn during the game, easily making this horn annoying very quickly. 



The horn is a Kahlenberg F-3. By this time, you know that I hate sirens mixed in with the actual horns. This one takes the cake in obnoxiousness. The siren is left over from the Caps' days at the US Air Arena. Ted Leonsis introduced the horn when he bought the team. It is an obnoxious sound that perfectly demonstrates the Capitals' tendency to over celebrate things. Easily the worst horn in the league.
