Rabbit151 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Part of why I hate Ottawa so much is the blaring train horn that goes off when they score. It sounds gay. It's kind of high-pitched by comparison to the Sabres horn bellow. It's totally lame. Plus, it goes on way too long. I think San Jose has a fog-horn, that's bassy and cool. I think Washington has a siren, don't they? The Sabres blast is good. Any opinions on good ones and bad ones? I can't remember them all, I'm pretty sure no one comes close to the awful Ottawa cacaphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I think what bothers me more about Ottawa is that church bell chime they play whenever the visitors get a penalty. Cmon, that's just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I think Washington has a siren, don't they? Not anymore, I don't think. That was years ago, wasn't it? But it was totally cool! Air Raid siren! Just awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fushetti Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Carolina's is piss poor. I don't even think its a horn. Its just a loud annoying noise piped through the speakers. Or maybe thats Philadelphia I'm thinking of. Anyways, Buffalo has the best horn ever.... bar none, hands down... its the best. Chicago is second because its a cheap knockoff of ours. (edit) Upon review... The United Center horn is not like it used to be in the old Chicago Stadium. Still, Buffalo's is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my money, I'd get rid of all artificial noise when a goal is scored. As Art Wander used to implore, "let the fans get into the game! Ptoooey on that music garbage."

As Art Wander used to implore, "let the fans get into the game! Ptoooey on that music garbage." I believe you're right on Chicago; I think the foghorn at the Stadium predated the one at the Aud, but I also think the one at the Aud made the sound famous (nothing but my recollection of mid-80s sports talk on that). As for music after the goal, I wouldn't mind the authentic Sabre Dance, but I'm not a fan of "Who Let the Dogs Out," etc. I'd rather talk about the goal with the folks at the game. As for Art Wander, well, Ptoooey on that talk host garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfcookies Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I think the worst post-goal shananagans take place in Atlanta, with the awful strobe light effect that goes off overhead of the net. That's absolutely awful. Washington is annoying simply for the length of time that their horn blasts run for...it's 3 long blasts, that seem to take forever.

connee Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I hate all the horns, it's bush league. I hate the music snippets played before faceoffs even more. But I guess I'm old and like "Lady Of Spain" played on an organ! :bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWarner Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 The fog horn in Philly is supposed to be the loudest. Fitting for Philly where nobody can shut their damn mouth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 don't the rangers have something super-annoying? like a police siren or something (fitting, if it is)...maybe i'm making it up. as a kid at my first ever sabres game at the aud, i hadn't any clue that the horn was really so loud. sitting in the nosebleeds with the team putting up 9 goals was quite an experience.

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I know in the AHL/minors that the Chicago Wolves fire off some sort of pyrotechnics... As told by my son... Seems he went to the Wolves-Marlies game one time and was rooting for TOR... I asked him why? "Because, when the Wolves scored... The fireworks were so annoying..." Who they heck would allow this indoors? The least strange part is a team SCORING against a TOR team! :D I didn't go to that game... So I can't verify it. That boy doesn't have his priorities right... HE just ain't right!... Rooting for a team from TOR! I blame myself... BlackHawks hat he has and all! :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seannie34 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Im not sure Im remembering right but I think it was Florida that has a horn and then a siren starts like 10 seconds after the horn goes, at doesnt stop forever. As mentioned above the strobe light in ATL is probably one of the most annoying things I have seen, the goalie is already pissed about letting in a goal and then they get blinded, real nice.

Bmwolf21 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Carolina's is piss poor. I don't even think its a horn. All I know is after just one game in Carolina, I completely sick of seeing Rick Flair yelling "WOOOOOOOOO" on the Jumbotron after a Carolina goal... <_< I know in the AHL/minors that the Chicago Wolves fire off some sort of pyrotechnics...

HE just ain't right!... Rooting for a team from TOR! I blame myself... BlackHawks hat he has and all! :( :( The Sabres used to have pyrotechnics shooting out of the scoreboard at the start of the game. I haven't been to a home game in some time, so I don't know if they still do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWarner Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I think it boils down to, any noise/lights when a goal is scored by a non-Sabres is annoying as hell. Buffalo could have a 90 year old guy blow a kazoo and flash the lights on and off when the Sabres score and I would be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Christopher Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Montreal, Ottawa, Carolina, and Washington's horns are annoying. Pittsburgh's is annoying too. The Sabres have a good one and I also like the Islanders horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_otto Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I like the end of period buzzer at Madison Square Garden. Reminds me of the strike sound from Family Fued :) . I like the Sabres train horn the best. The gayest is Ottawa's high pitch horn. It sounds like the Lamborghini horn from Cannonball Run. Seriously,... The only thing that's missing after that horn goes off is Burt Reynolds laugh. Lamest is Atlanta's and other arena's that blow a goddamn annoying fog horn for thirty seconds and then have to toot it again to count each goal the team scored.
