Holy 5 posts, Batman!!!!!

Why don't you take it out and check it/clean it, see if something's stuck in there or if there's some other sort of problem.

I believe it's right near the driver's side headlight. I've seen it out before, just can't remember where EXACTLY it is. Just look in the vicinity of the driver's side headlight and you should find it.

I think it may be down by the foglights behind the bumper. When I was installing the intake I saw something that resembled a horn, although I couldn't be completely off. Just know I saw something down there.

Yeah, it's down in there on the driver's side. It's real small and black, and looks like any other car horn.

It sounds exactly like the Cavalier horn...but still better than Japanese car horns. Nothing against them, but they have some WEAK horns. I've heard better bike horns from Target. My Pontiac had a nice horn...

There might be something jammed up in the horn...You should take a gander at it and check it out..
And yea our horns are weak, I've been meaning to install an air horn on mine, but I don't have the time to.

my horn is almost as loud as that one... they have about 10 horns on some of those caras, plus im using small independent conmpressors and tanks that are about 6 inches long and are hidden under the hood, it saves alot of weight but their only like 85% as loud as those which still isnt bad im over 145DB lol this is a good one too
