Furthermore, "an audible means of approach" usually in the form of a horn, is mandatory for motor vehicles. and it is useful. I don't honestly see why it shouldnt be compulsory for bikes.
I remember once having set my old Phillips up so perfectly that a group of 3 peds walking towards me, in the middle of the road, hadnt heard me. I had no idea until the last minute that this one person had the sun in her eyes and could not see or hear me at all.
