You are all gonna' be pissed about this but the ford explorer has the best damn
OEM horn I've ever heard. It'll make your heart skip a beat, make you jump out
of your skin and take ten steps back all at the same time! I'm gonna' sneak
out one night and swap my wimpy beeper with an exploders horn one of these
nights, I swear!

Welcome to the club of Intense Blue owners :) I thought the same thing
about my horns, so I opted to install a pair of PepBoys specials. They
are loud, but the tone isn't much better than stock and I am going to
switch them out very soon.
In my on-line research of air horns, I found that my current air horns
are in the 810 Hz range and are app. 120 decibels. I am looking
at a set of air horns (not sure if I want to go with the tank or not) that
can be found at http://www.wolo-mfg.com/truck.htm They have an
excellent selection of air horns (including Dixie) and they list Hz &
decibels. Get a nice set of 120 Decibels / 235Hz if you want reactions ;-)
