I was disappointed the first time I had to use my hooter and discovered that it was merely a meeep rather than a ggggrrrrrrrrrr. My local garage can replace it for the cost of labour if I supply that parts as the front bumper has to come off to get to the parts.

My question is can someone recommend a decent hooter that sounds a little more 'manly' than the one I have now and are all car horns compatible or do I have to search for one that looks identical to my existing horn? I haven't been able to find anywhere on the internet where you can hear the sound of the car horn before you buy it.

Also not sure if my car has one car horn or two, does anyone know?

You want to appear more ‘manly’ in a Zoe?

You've got this the wrong way round, kid. Excessive noise is borne from insecurity - lack of it shows confidence.

No, I'd like people to know that I'm there. London traffic is brutal and some people are idiots.

You're making an assumption. I drive in thick London traffic with cyclists, cars, vans and mopeds zipping all around paying no attention to the roads. I just want to be able to warn them when they get too close.

Thank you, just watched a video of it and actually the Soundbomb Mini is more what I was thinking of. Not deafening but also not lost in the London traffic noises.

So first, you say you want to make a more 'manly' noise in your Zoe and now you're saying to want to be part of the London traffic noise arms race. What is it?

I put a Stebel Magnum on my motorbike. It's big brother the Nautilus is a bit louder and multi-toned but would have needed a relay as it draws too much current for the bike's wiring.
