Do you only get the noise when you turn on the hot water? Not the cold water? I would think that it would be happening with both. For water to flow through your pipes, there has to be air present. Think of a straw filled with liquid and a finger on top. When you let the finger go, the water can flow. Now, the water in the pipe of a home is somewhere between 40 and 80 psi. With some pipe set ups, you create the horn sound with water rushing through the pipes when the valve is turned on. It is just like blowing air through the pipes of a brass instrument, such as a Trumpet.

How do you find the car horn and horn relay?

The horn in located below the right side (passenger side) headlight. What you need to do is get a 9/32 socket or something this size, and remove the covering from under the engine compartment. So, lay down on the ground remover the (black ground cover which keeps debris from heading to the engine area) located between the tire and headlight.Once that is off suprise there is the horn.............beep beep the horn is behind the front bumper or grille somewhere. the relay is probably behind the dash inside the vehicle. when you push the horn do you hear a ticking noise? if you do, follow the ticking noise to find the relay.(it makes the noise)if it makes the noise, it probably works and you should check the wire connection to the horn unit. it looks like a nautilus, sort of a coil resulting in one open end, pointing down.it is about the size of your hand. if it does not make a noise it would probably be your horn fuse or your switch.


How does a car horn make sounds?

one way that it has traditionally been done is to introduce voltage (12 volts) to a thin metal plate encased in a horn...that will amplify the noise the plates makes when it vibrates.
