Default Looking for a sound file for a Hella Twin-Tone Air Horn

I'm looking for a sound file for a Hella Twin-Tone/Triple-Tone Air Horn. I'm looking to replace the sissy *meep-meep/excuse me* horn that comes on a '00 Civic Si.

I searched everywhere for a sound file but could not find a thing, so any help woud be appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex.

no sound file... but its not SUPER LOUD... it is just a sound of like two or three off kilter / off-frequency horns at once.. so it does scare people because it sounds like three different cars at once all honking..

or some say it sounds like a canadian goose being run over.. you make the call.

either way it was a great replacement for the oem horn...

I've heard about 3 cars with them. I like them. My only comment is that they were higher pitched than I assumed. Don't get me wrong, they are very loud, much louder than stock, not wimpy at all, just not lower toned like a truck for example (semi).

I've been told that the Hella Dual-Tone horn sounds like a Ferarri horn. The only thing is that I've never heard a Ferarri horn before, so that doesn't help.

I did find this website linked through ClubRSX and it has a sound file. However, I read that it does not accurately represent what the actual horn sounds like.

Is this similar to what you've heard? Thanks.

i got one from europe last summer and it has 3 horns and the compressor is twice as big as the hella horn. It is loud *** hell. Scared many people with it.
You can see the compressor somewhat in this pic. Its located on lower right side by the headlight. Its red.
