hi Eric,

I am not sure on how to make an audio recording...but I will try. But on
bench test it's very very *LOUD*... it's not a beep like the OEM horn...
it's so loud that I lost about 90% of my hearing for a few minutes after
the test... well... of course the horn was about 2 feet from on the bench.
:-)

I would think it will be nice out there will road noise and windows up...
