Does anyone know if the Wings took their goal horn from The Joe to Little Caesars Arena?

I tried asking the LCA social media rep on Facebook, but got a "we don't have that information yet." I was going to go to the preview day yesterday and hoped to see if I could spot them in the rafters but something else screwed me out of going. With as heavy as the team is on tradition, I'd have to believe they brought them over. I just hope they didn't change to a "me too" fog horn or worse a recording of the old ones. edit: however, my uncle did go and sent me these. I guess we can try to zoom in and see if we can spot them.

I think it’s fake Edit: yep, played over the speakers. Not very convincing either.

Just read the other day on Detroit News that Tom Wilson said they intended to bring the goal horn from The Joe to LCA. They even tested it out and said it was not loud enough to be at LCA due to different acoustics from The Joe and a different layout so it couldn't be heard. It also didn't fit the building code because it uses nitrogen which is a flammable gas. They recorded the sound of it and are able to push a button which is a recording of it for however long they want the blast to be. They are exploring other options in order to get a real horn. For now they said the old horns (3 sets of them) from The Joe will go on display at LCA.

here's something I pieced together. it's from Tuesday's game against the Coyotes; they sound the goal "horn" when the Wings take the ice before the start of the period.
this is the actual video I took.
