I've always been curious about this - I've never wanted a truck sounding horn, but more what I associate with an Italian sports car. The stock horn in my S4 sounds like a Japanese micro car horn.

I really want that bright, high decibel, piercing trumpet high C sound.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? As a kid I remember watching Cannonball Run II and hearing a Lambo with it. Most likely dubbed in, but it was a beautiful sound. Not a honk, but more like a TWEET-TWEET!!!

- My '75 Alfasud has a nice FIAMM air horn. If I could find the cable for my digital camera, I would post a photo. Looks and sounds great.

My favorite car has been and always will be the Black Countach from the first Cannonball Run movie. I know exactly what you mean by the horn sound.
