Alarm horn not working

So after decoding my VIN I found out that my car has an alarm system (I've only had it for two weeks now). When I set off the alarm for the first time I heard two really weak beeps from the horn and then no more horn sounds. The lights flash, and I hear the horn relay clicking on and off but the horn won't make a sound. What could the problem be? Is it common for the alarm horn to go out? thanks.

the alarm horn is in various places. I believe it is on the drivers side near the ABS pump.

Check to see if you are getting voltage there when it is going off.
