View Full Version : Horn Sound? Kamala 10-13-2003, 05:45 AM I love just about everything on my Pro5 except the horn, so I'm wondering what kind of sound the RX-8 horn makes and whether people like it or not. This is the one thing I forgot to check on my test drive. I really enjoy laying on a horn that screams "get the $#%&&# out of the way" to jaywalking pedestrians and left-lane grandmas. takahashi 10-13-2003, 06:01 AM You can change them I suppose... I did not have a chance to test it yet... anyone really go ahead to record them? Don't do it now... it look stupid! :D Horn... I would rev my engine to show frustration... :) wleonard 10-13-2003, 08:03 AM I get the impression you would not like the 8's sound, but rather need big air horns. Get you some "big-rig" horns at your local truck stop. Then you can blast that F'n horn at pedestians and other low-lifes that dont know better than to get out of your way. Dont forget the neons below and the tail fins to go with...... graphicguy 10-13-2003, 08:09 AM In all seriousness, the 8 has a "good" horn...it's a two note affair that's LOUD! It's not a "whimpy" little beeper at all. eccles 10-13-2003, 10:40 AM Originally posted by Kamala I'm wondering what kind of sound the RX-8 horn makes and whether people like it or not.Hear it for yourself here (http://www.snikte.net/images/rx-8/rev-it-up/MOV01374.MPG). I like it. Kamala 10-13-2003, 04:19 PM Originally posted by wleonard I get the impression you would not like the 8's sound, but rather need big air horns.

Hope you get stuck behind a whole line of grandmas. Eccles, thanks for the recording! Sounds much firmer than the Pro5. Should suffice :D mikeb 10-13-2003, 08:23 PM this thread is pointless Kamala 10-13-2003, 09:34 PM Originally posted by mikeb this thread is pointless Every minute detail of this car has been analyzed ad nauseum on the site. Can't a guy have an honest question about the horn sound? Obviously it's not a make or break item. As a bonus, after hearing Eccles' clip, now I can have realistic full audio in my RX-8 daydreams, rather than just engine, stereo and road. Thanks again, Eccles! eccles 10-13-2003, 11:09 PM Originally posted by Kamala Thanks again, Eccles! You're welcome.
