Has anybody honked their horn?

I was having a late night drive, just clocking up the km's so I can break the car
in quicker, and decided to try out the horn. I just cracked up after hearing it.

It sounds like it belongs on a Holden Barina or a Suzuki Swift it sounded so funny. I suppose that's another reason they call it 'the car that makes you smile'

LOL! I currently have a suzuki swift (not for long), so you're saying it's got that high pitched "MEEP!!!" sound?

Yeah it sounds a bit strange and not that loud either

Had to use it when some idiot fully cut into my lane when going through a slight bend.

Sounds like my old adm ae86(s) horn. Guess they are keeping it authentic somewhat then :p

At least my jdm gt apex has factory twin horns with two different pitches (sounds like the Honda above).
