They have neutered the WES horns in an attempt to quell noise complaints. The damn thing went from sounding like a stuck pig with lungs to a stuck pig breathing through a straw.

Compare:

Original Horns sucked anyway. It's a simple 3-chime, manufacturer unknown.

Nathan 3-chime horn on loan from the P&W which I think sounds even worse. :TDOWN:
You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.

here's one of the best bad horns I have ever caught. It was at Court St in Maine. God I dont know what happened to it, but it really began squeaking when it got here.

:Clap: Not all the WES horns have been neutered. I believe number 2001 was left alone because I heard it today, belting away at full roar. :Grin:
