Big vehicles, such as buses and trucks, with air brakes frequently vent excess pressure.

One of my books on old cars includes a reproduction of a add form the late 1920s.
Whistles--made out of steel fitted to the end of the exhaust pipe--looks like organ pipes.
Now that would be a hoot.

Stanley Steamers had train whistles that exhaust stem could be blown through. Very cool, and very effective.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.
Went to a Concours yesterday-- a 1918 Simplex had a small brass trumpet attached to the intake manifold with a cable to the dash.
I talked to the owner and pulling the cable opened a valve and the suction tooted the horn.
It was an option at the time, but there was also a standard klaxon horn.
The earliest entry was a 1897 Bollee cycle-car.
An interesting one was a 1930 Model A Ford Sedan that had completed a Paris to Peking tour earlier in the summer. It had a huge gas tank on the back luggage rack and bigger tires--otherwise stock.
