Why does my car horn sound weak all the sudden?
It might have a bad connection. It could have something inside of it causing the problem. It might be dismounted. The most likely cause of the problem is either the horn is bad, or it has a short or a loose connection. If you want to test it for cheap, get a used horn from a junk yard and try it out. You will know right away if the horn was bad. Any dodge horn from that year should have the same connection, but it might mount different. If you want the right horn from a junk yard you should probably take the old one out and compare them when you go. There are plenty of those cars in junk yards that have been wrecked.
Does a car horn sound different in the cold?
It may be a bit softer and higher in tone when it's cold, since the diaphragm is stiffer, but prob not noticeable except to listening instruments.
I get scared for a while when I suddenly hear loud sounds. I know it’s normal, but I want to get rid of it. What are some suggestions?
Shame too late to be of help to you but maybe another.First who said this is normal? There is nothing normal about being scared for awhile when you hear sudden loud noises. That , if it still the case, is what you need to find out caused this emotion to overcome you When people hear loud noise it may startle them but that is quickly followed by 2or more emotion. Humor. Where the person laughs off the scare and anger where the person lashes out against the noise maker. I wouldn't suggest either for you or any other in your situation. You should become offended and take a dominant stance. Example if a truck backfires and this puts you in the scared state you complained of, understand that ‘scared’ feeling is only scared because you say ti is! That feeling can be one of anger, sadness, humor, defiant or whatever else you want to direct that feeling to. This is your body and mind. You decide how it will interact not the the other way. There is no emotion or feeling you don’t have 100% control over, NONE. As a shooter in the Marine Corps I was taught this during Mountain Warfare kill Skills. To show understanding I would be placed on ice or snow and have ice placed on top of me. The whole time mind you I am laying there with biorhythm gadgets hooked up and have a M40A2 Sniper Rig. I must allow my body temp to drop 2 ‘ or more. Once the ice did that I Had to control my shivering so I could hit a Ace of Spade playing card 600 meters away. While shivering it is impossible except by luck. So I had to learn how to raise my body temp in the ice. I was so efficient I could raise my body temp to almost fever range. One bullet. So my point is, you can just as anyone can that has the ability to understand these words; It is your body and mind! You control it. There is nothing fascinating about a mind or the human body. Meat and tissues. What is fascinating is the YOU in them. We make are minds fascinating. We make our legs sprint like a cheetah. So good luck to you and anyone else who is living in a fearful state, you don’t have to
Car horn sounds weird do i need to replace?
check the horn for damage you may be able to straighten the outer plate and fix for free.but if not replace the horn with a multi fit one from any spare parts shop most after market horns have a screw on them so you can get some adjustment to the output sound by turning the screw.hope this helps
Every time there is a small sound around me, I get scared suddenly. Why does this happen and what can I do about this?
Would you believe it if I were to say I also face the same problem as you?!I'm also startled EVERY TIME my wife walks into my office room when I'm working. Or when someone walks into the bedroom while I was reading a book. My heart literally misses a beat and I simply go into a shock for a couple of seconds. In fact its so frequent I keep joking that some day I might even die of shock:(Though its a frequent happening I'm not unduly worried. For the simple reason which I believe is the reason for this. Whatever I do I do it with 100% concentration. So if I'm working on my laptop I'm totally cut off from the world around me! Hence when someone comes very close to me I miss a heart beat as I'm totally immersed in my work. Its not that they appear all of a sudden. But because I'm focussing on my work they appear to me suddenly when they come into my near vision only and not before. Similarly whenever I'm reading a book I'm totally into it. And same thing happens whenever someone comes near or suddenly some loud noise happens.In fact many people are also startled by the alarm clock in the morning when they are in deep sleep. Its because they are in deep sleep and are suddenly woken up by the loud sound of the alarm! All the other factors/facts mentioned by you don't have anything to do with the phenomenon. If you are also like me in the sense you get immersed in anything you do then I feel its a normal thing. But if you aren't like that then I don't know the answer:(
Why do people blow horns so much in India?
Mostly out of fear and frustration. I prefer to drive in India, just like in other countries. And I use much more horn in India than while driving in Europe or North America.In more developed systems, we use visual methods [such as indicators] to interact with other road users. Everything is in line of sight and there are no crazy curves nor random guys walking in the middle of the road. If some one misbehaves flip a finger [another visual signal] and move on.India’s diverse roads make it hard to use visual communication. Roads bend a lot and there are a variety of entrants from all angles. That cyclist crossing at 85 degrees from your car doesn’t even look at you or your visual signals. This requires the use of auditory communication and most important one is the horn. If some one misbehaves, drivers cannot flip a finger [the errant guy might not be looking at them] and have to rely on screaming profanity.As people surprise/shock you by entering at all directions, you start fearing them and apply the horn even when no one is sight. It becomes a habit, sort of like paranoia.There the horns also become like stress-balls for the overstressed drivers. Since modern India has destroyed the traditional stress control mechanisms of ancient India and not modern enough to adopt more appropriate stress management mechanisms, the horn becomes a quick and inexpensive way to relieve your stress and deafen someone’s ear drum.As the road order improves with better design and more city building, we might also move more to visual communication. I already see this while driving in India’s better roads, which are much more quieter than the city roads.
Can a low car battery cause the horn to stop working? Engine is starting without any problem.
Starting an engine likely requires far more energy than sounding a horn in a typical vehicle. If a battery has no trouble starting an engine, it should have no trouble sounding a horn (with the engine off). Once the engine is running, the battery only comes into play when the vehicle's electrical demands are too much for the alternator to handle.
