Due to the potential danger of a horn sound nobody took seriously I decided it must get replaced immediately.

What you replace it with is entirely up to your tastes, I didn't like any of the aftermarket tones. I went with a stock horn tone from something that had some presence as far as the tone is concerned. I got a horn from a Subaru Tribeca, and it works way better than the original.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I was curious about the Tribeca horn you added to your FR-S. I'm new to the car and had the misfortune of using the horn recently to motivate someone to move along that had fallen asleep at a traffic light. It is almost as bad as Toyota horns from the mid 80's.

Did you have to do an rewiring when you installed the horn or was it straight plug and play? Did you remove the front bumper or install it from the bottom of the car?
