Default Any way to change horn sound?

I'm sick of my camaro's alarm sounding like a clown horn so is there a way i can replace the factory horn with a new so i dont have to get an entire new alarm system? Like so it sounds like a beamer or something.

buy an actual horn, a different horn will change the sound.

i have the same low sound from the stock horn.

i have read that we have two horns on our camaros and when one goes out, you get the low horn sound.

Put your ear close to each one and tell someone to press the button? lol

Can you unplug each one individually?

put your hand over the horn end (where the sound comes out)
you will be able to tell which is working

also you may not need a new horn.......

Pull both horn clean the contacts where the wire connects
and contact where it bolts to the body/bracket
dont forget a little electrical grease

I did this on mine, now its back to normal
both horns working and sounding good.

One of my horns got to much water in it and crapped out. I went to O'reilly's and got a basic replacement horn for the high and low. Now its twice as loud as it was when both stock horns were working.
