Can the car horn be modified?

Dec 12, 2023

Although honking is forbidden in most urban areas of first-and second-tier cities, many friends attach great importance to car horns as an important part to ensure driving safety. I believe that many friends have encountered the situation that the original speaker of the model has poor timbre or too low volume, and they will consider changing into a speaker with better performance. Can the car speaker be modified?

The conclusion is that it can be modified. First of all, the modification of automobile horn does not involve changes in power and chassis, so it is legally allowed. However, we need to pay attention to the fact that we can't use the horn sound of a special vehicle when changing the horn (for example, the horn sound of a police vehicle is different). If the horn sound of a special vehicle is changed, the traffic police will probably confiscate the vehicle and order it to be restored.

But do you modify the car horn traffic police tube?

No matter. The modification of the car horn itself does not involve illegal modification, even if the traffic police check the car, there will be no problem. As for whether to put it on record, I suggest you call the local vehicle management office, because each area is a little different. In order to avoid trouble during the annual inspection, it is best to ask in advance before modification.

Main types of automobile horns

At present, automobile horns are mainly divided into air horns and electric horns. Most air horns are installed on medium and large trucks with air brakes, and they are not allowed to be used in cities with high volume, so medium and large trucks will also be equipped with electric horns. Electric horns are widely used. Cars on the road all use electric horns. Although the sound is not as loud as air horns, they are more applicable.
