Modern cars seem to be designed for a very quiet cabin and the use of the radio or cell phone while driving seems to further mask just about all external noise for driver.
i disagree..... everyone seems to hear me when im on the horn

The whole concept has bothered me for that reason since I first read it.
I've got an air horn on mine and spent a fair amount of effort keeping the air line as short as possible to prevent lag.
Yea, I know what you mean. I've considered a bicycle bell at times, or a second horn with a second button. Not for cars, but mostly for pedestrians.
