Talking 991 Horn

Sorry if this a ridiculous request but while I'm waiting for my car to be built (May) I'm curious to know what the 991's horn sounds like, does anyone have a sample? If not could you describe it, is like a BMW's bi-tone or a Ferrari's exotic trumpet? I searched the webs and forums and could only find a thread talking about how its not quite loud enough.

For kicks maybe tell us what's your favorite horn of all time. Mine was the one on the launch year BMW E30 3-series, it was a single horn and high pitched, almost like a motorcycle horn, very distinctive and euro. They changed it to a deeper bi-tone sometime after the initial launch year

This is the **** I occupy my mind with in order to not go crazy with anticipation

Horn is great - somehow subdued but does the job; I'd say somewhat along the BMW tone but subdued ...

Most car horns are two tone as the frequencies of each are supportive - as opposed to destructive (I'm recalling this from a 1970 physics class with Mr Marcus so forgive me if I got the term wrong

It's freaking loud.

Porsche 911 horns must have a tendency to blow out. My 997 did that also around two years out.

Or you can shift into neutral and just rev the engine...

I would say the horn tone matches the car quite nicely, very purposeful sounding.
