I only drive an Isuzu Rodeo, but on the rare occasion that I have to use my horn, I%26#039;ve noticed that it%26#039;s a high-pitched squawk. It makes the cartoon Roadrunner%26#039;s %26quot;meep meep%26quot; sound full of bass. Much larger SUV%26#039;s horns sound pretty wimpy, too. Why is that? I want a horn like an 18-wheeler. LOL
Why do the horns on big ol%26#039; SUV%26#039;s sound like a strangled baby goose?
I can only speculate: The majority of %26quot;big ol%26#039; SUV%26quot; owners are males in their peak reproductive years and go honking around like %26quot;big ol%26#039; ganders%26quot;. So there is a measure of abuse prevention in the horn design.
I once knew a guy who had a locomotive horn installed in his old pickup. It required an air compressor and a tank. When he blew it you could hear it for miles. It would scare the goose crap out of anyone within 100 yards!

Reply:Well you know you can go to jcwhitney.com and buy one of those horns that will play your favorite melody. In my old van, I had one that did a whistle every a fine honey walked by. That was hilarious. Get one. They are fun to have and you can even put them on yourself.
Reply:Because SUV%26#039;s are just station wagons for this generation.
They are designed for people that just want a living room on wheels. They don%26#039;t really deserve to have loud, obnoxious horns. That privilege is reserved for Monster Truck drivers.
Reply:Do they? Brilliant!
My little peugeot scares the hell out of people, they look round for the lorry that%26#039;s abouts to plow through them.
