No one likes the Islanders’ new high-pitched goal horn

The Islanders have a new home and a new goal horn. It’s not great.

The Islanders have a new home and a new goal horn. It’s not great. 

After 43 seasons at the Nassau Coliseum, the Isles are ditching the suburbs for the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. There are many things Islanders fans don’t like about the new arena, not least of which is the fact that a bunch of the seats are very bad.

But now they’ve got something new to complain about: the updated goal horn.

(For comparison, here’s what the old one sounded like, and here’s what a Long Island Rail Road train’s horn sounds like.)

Aside from one Leafs fan who thought the new horn was “cute,” the backlash to the alteration was swift and and severe.

And the most obnoxious goal horn in the league goes to... https://t.co/iNDAT1JDr1

The new goal horn sounds like they took it from a beat up compact car that was made in the Soviet Union #isles

@barclayscenter @NYIslanders not loud enough. No oomph. No resonance. Verdict: poor.

@brettyormark please change the goal horn back. It sounds like a diseased badger being run over by a lawnmower @NYIslanders @barclayscenter
