Foghorn Sound Effect

📝 Description

The foghorn is volume with a maritime license — a colossal, moaning blast built to cross kilometers of open water and now repurposed to cross living rooms without permission. Its sheer scale is the joke: no domestic situation warrants this sound, which is exactly why deploying it indoors is funny. Use it to announce wrong answers with nautical authority, to interrupt monologues that have sailed too long, or as the world's least subtle alarm. It also plays it straight in harbor scenes and sea-fog ambience. Warn the neighbors, then let the horn speak; ships have yielded to less.
