How are fog-signals generated at sea?

 title: 'Technical diagram of a mechanical component.'

Fog-signals may be produced by sound[1]. A number of methods for producing sound have been used, including bells, gongs, guns, rockets, whistles and sirenes. Bells and gongs are struck to create sound; guns and rockets make a sound via explosions[1]. Whistles and sirens use steam or compressed air to produce continuous sound[1]. Distinctions in sound can be created through differing notes or patterns of sound production[1].
