Your horn had a bit of a "raspy" sound that seemed more like maybe it 
was resting against the bumper or something. Its mounting bracket and 
support arm should hold it clear of everything else. Or that may just 
be the way it sounds. I agree this sounds a little odd, but I can't 
be sure, because I use my horn so little, I'm not that sure what it 
sounds like.
