I've been using the Hornit dB140, which has two modes. One is a loud peircing chirp sound, and the other is a much less loud sound resembling a car horn. I personally leave it on the peircing mode. The battery has lasted several months with regular use, so recharging isn't much of a concern.
The trigger is separate from the horn unit, which allows me to put it somewhere that I can hit the brakes and the horn at the same time.
I've been really happy with it, but I also haven't tried any alternatives to compare to.
