Carl,

Good point. I will have to have someone check it when I am driving on the greeway at 60 to 140. I thought the air horn would also work better at high speed but perhaps it would sound a block behind?? :-)

Hi Kurt

A loud horn inside, for you, doesn't necessarily mean a better one in traffic. The frequency on MBZ and BMWs are calibrated for Autobahn driving at speeds above 60mph. Yes a loud and noisy horn could wake people up at lower speeds, but I personally think the standard horn is effective. I've used the at speeds over 200Kph on in Germany and other cars seem to have heard me...

Regards
Carl
