Well, they're not THAT loud. In hilly residential areas they frown
upon them. Around here, truckers also use them instead of the
standard brakes to scare the beejeezus out of people who cut in front
of them or otherwise drive like jerks. Drivers know a horn is
intentionally applied, but don't understand the horrible noise a truck
on the jake bearing down on them is making.
