Mine has a three-tone horn.

The third one sounds something like "FFS - don't do that".

You can not have air horns that play a tune, but two notes,yes.

Anyone know anything about this

They need a decent air supply to blow properly like this, I have a set the same type but off a southern unit and need about 100psi

I don't want any stupid noisy horn but I find my original duo tones ones are desperately too weak.

What do you think these ones could be worth in replacement?
TBH not that expensive...

Shame no sound clip, not sure if just the positive instead of two wires causes any issues.
Funny I looked at those earlier

As they are rated at only 60db each they just wouldn't be all that loud on a car.
The standard horns are rated much higher than that.

Just ordered one of these for on my motorbike as the standard horn just sort of squeaks.------https://www.amazon.co.uk/Denali-Soun...soundbomb+mini

You can if your car is registered before 1973

Where did you see 60db each?
It says:E-marked. 120db
I assume it's 120db for each of them, not divided by half.
BTW is 12V only 6V each either?

I assume that there's no polarity as I was told elsewhere (but don't remember where...).
