Default you probably have one of the 2 horns not working....this too is a common problem.

My high side went out and the car sounded like a wounded duck. (there are two: one high tone and one low tone)

Default Pretty common problem. Warranty should take care of it...

There are 2 horns (low & high tone). The low tone tends to fail, leaving you with a wimpy sounding horn that's too embaressing to use. :&gt

Default haha, I was soo close to doing this but then I realized my horn was out. The Hella horns are...

hella loud (cool Italian Horn sound).

Anyway, my horn was out since the first day I picked it up from the dealership, thus I never knew it was supposed to sound any different. Luckily everyone here helped me discover it was bad. I was getting pretty pissed at how crappy it sounded before I knew it was a defective.

Default my dad (in the 'ol dayz) had a musical air horn in his car, i have good memories.

it was his first car which he bought in the 60s and kept till the late 70s. benz 220D i think.
