I have one horn from an Audi 5000 and a "Mehga" horn (brought back from
India, used mounted proudly on Ambassador taxis). The combo makes a
very annoying noise, and I guess that's the point.

Oh and I have the horns powered via a relay, helps a lot.

If anyone wants to send me a sound file of their horn in action, I will
host and we can have a "most obnoxious horn" contest :)

The horn on my '85 Vanagon is a real joke, and it was even when new.
More apt to inspire laughter than alarm.  So, what you're hearing may
be the best you're going to get.

Brings up a good question, though.  Has anyone ever gone to the
trouble to improve or replace these things with something that
actually sounds like a horn?
