Or you could get one of these for your lock sound.

I actually like the Mini horn. It's so...noticeable! My other vehicle is a huge Chevy pickup with a 327 V8 and eight foot bed. Its horn is a wimpy little thing that rarely gets noticed. I don't use the horn often, but when I do I want it to be heard!

Our rooster sounds his own alarm and all of the hens flee into the coop. All six of our dogs surround the car and begin barking furiously.
I'd actually love to see a video of that!

i like some of the higher end cars instead of a honk they beep, its a distinctly different sound like an electrical beep, beep and i think its alot better than my old 89 mustang that honks through the horn. A beep seems more modern and fancy.

I like the lights flashing,and the sound of the locks cycling:smile:
Beeps,honks and chirps make me nuts
Plus at night the interior lights fade out as soon as the doors lock.
