I wish that my car had a "mini honk" feature. Sometimes I just want to gently tap on the horn to remind the person in front of me that the light turned green twenty minutes ago or to alert the mom on her cell phone that her kid has climbed out of his stroller and is crouching next to my car as I back out. Even the gentlest pressure on my horn produces a loud BLAAAATTTTT! that is not always necessary. The other day, however, it was necessary: A car was backing up straight into me without looking. I leaned so hard on the horn that my wrist is still sore.
I have the opposite problem, my horn always just makes a wee beep, and sometimes, I need it to blast. I think a horn with varied sounds makes sense.

I have no horn at all and haven't had for years.
