Differences between a deer whistle and The Hornet Electronic Deer Avoidance System
Differences between a deer whistle and The Hornet Electronic Deer Avoidance System.
| Feature | Deer Whistle | The Hornet Electronic System |
| Technology | Wind-activated device that uses airflow to create a sound. | Electronically powered sonic generator that creates a directional sonic wave. |
| Power Source | Passive; relies on the vehicle’s movement and airflow. | Active; connects to the vehicle’s electrical system (12V). |
| Operation Speed | Requires a minimum speed (often 30+ mph) to function. | Works at any vehicle speed. |
| Effectiveness | Debated and not widely supported by scientific studies. Studies have shown they are often not loud enough and may not produce a sound in a deer’s ideal hearing range. | Proven reduced risk of collisions backed with evidence and testimonials. |
| Limitations | Can become clogged with dirt, insects, or snow. Effectiveness is dependent on vehicle speed. | We have spent years in research and development and are the original inventors and patent holders of The Hornet. |
