No Audible Horn Feedback

What is the best way to cope with not being able to hear the horn in the C Coupe? I actually had to test it to make sure it was working. This is the first car I've had where you can't hear it when you blow your own horn.

I agree, I can always hear mine. I had to replace my horns a while back, and even before that I could hear it.

When I blow my horn in the sedan, its loud. I really like it cause it doesn't sound like a horn in a clown car like my mom's Toyota or my girl friend's Ford Contour.

There are two horns. I had one fail and with only one it is hard to hear. I replaced mine a while back, and all is good now.

of course! My friend had a 2000 ML430 and then got an 04 G35... he missed the horns on his ML so he had it installed on his Infiniti! Sounds pretty neat.
