Has anyone heard the horn on the Model S? Any impressions? It would be great if someone could post an audio clip (assuming audio is supported on the forum)

You can hear the horn in one of the test drive videos from Fremont/LA. I don't remember which, and I'm too lazy to look through hours of test drive footage againOriginally Posted by NJS1207
. Maybe someone here can point you to the link, but I do recall that it's a pretty ordinary horn sound. Doesn't sound like a rocket ship's horn at all

Now that I think about it, I don't believe I've ever heard a rocket ship's honking horn.... but I do recall that it's a pretty ordinary horn sound. Doesn't sound like a rocket ship's horn at all

I was going to say, "In space, no one can hear you honk!"

And therefore the crux of my poor attempt at sarcasm(!)
But to get back on topic, the horn ironically almost reminded me of the sound of some SUV horns! I guess a horn sound and cargo space are two things that the Model S and some SUVs have in common...but that's about where the similarities end, haha!

Trnsl8r gets the credit for the first horn post:

Hey all. I haven't seen a video that features a Model S using the horn.
How does it sound?
Wimpy? Beefy? Any links or if not could someone post this?
Just wondering if the sound of the horn is adequate / fits the car or if it will need an upgrade to an air horn or something.
Cheers.
Not sure, but does it really matter? I've used the horn maybe twice in the last 140,000 miles.
Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from a rigged demonstration.

I actually tried it the other day on a test drive...definitely not wimpy. Nice, full sound. It fits the car well!
