Thumbs down Man-factor in the OEM Horn???

OK, my two teenage boys like the fact that dad bought a TT, but the openly laugh at (me) the factory stock horn.

1) Does this bother anyone else?

2) What are the options other than "la cucaracha"?

That might be a little extreme. If you go online to Griot's Garage, they have a horn called the Italian Air Horn...sells for about $39.95 and comes in a small configuration of about 5 inches by 3.5 inches....includes an integrated small air compressor and puts out about 137db....has the twin horn Euro sound. I run them in both Porsches....kind of neat really and no 18 wheelers will inadvertantly move over into your lane.. I've turned several folks on to them and they all like them.

Just put a loud exhaust on the car and anytime you need to get attention, rev the engine.
