Default Rice sounding horn?

Is there more than 1 horn on our cars. I used my horn for the first time today (to alert a brain sergeon). It sounded like a horn from a little pos. If this car comes equipped w/ 2 maybe just one is out?

I was actually blowing on my horn when one of them went out, it sounded like it just had its nuts sucked back into the body like reverse puberty or something. They are located near the passenger side of the radiator support and the fog light, if i am picturing it correctly.

Yes there is a high pitch and a low pitch horn connected on the same bracket somewhere along the frame rail.

my 98 lo tone was out and my lo was also out on my 2000....i bought a horn assembly from a member for ten bucks.....when i removed my broke setup, a little water came out of my lo horn, which want working......so i assume water must get up in there and break the horn........installed the new used assembly and horn sounded much better with a working lo note
