EVER NOTICED 172/182 horns tone

[182 sport]

Parked up today with my mate with his brand new clio 1.6 16valve,we were playing about and noticed that the 172 horn is beefy, where as his was a pathetic little thing in comparison.Just really wanted to know why the difference and what makes the difference if you know what I mean

dual tone horn on the higher spec clios

Yeah, noticed the Cups horm is pretty beefy. Makes my mates poncy little horn on his Mini cooper S sound very girly.

Now Im worried. Mine sounds feeble. Its better to wind the window down and yell abuse!!

even my brothers 1.2 dynamique has the same horn as my 182 ut my mate has a dci 120 megane and it is a really feeble horn, he is so disppointed that he has conplained to renault that a 1.2 clio gets a better horn, seems the clio is very horny!

Williams has a pretty high pitched, less than beefy horn.

^^ Lol yeah, mk1 Clio horn is a bit weak!

By contrast, the one in the family V40 is like a bloody fog horn!!

sounds like renault put his horn in my 172 then. I wonder if renault will change it, cos its embarrassing.
