High-pitched horn??
Just starting today i believe, my horn has started emitting a much more high-pitched sound than it did before. It does it both when I honk the horn on the steering wheel and lock my car (the 2 short honks). Do we have 2 horns that activate at the same time? and if we do, would 1 horn dying cause a higher pitched honk? Damn my car and its random *** breaks.

It's not hard. Just plug and play. You can find replacement horns at auto part stores. They are made by Fiamm. I think there are two versions. They are called hiway blaster or freeway blaster or something like that. One will be louder than the other, I believe. They look very similar but the connectors face different ways which will render your wires too short if bought a wrong one. Just take your the old horn with you when you buy it.

I think this is an age-old problem with GM horns.... My '02 TA does this, as well as my '71 Buick Skylark. I guess an upgrade in the horn design in 31 years is too much to ask!
