They have a class which can be defined as - WIMPY and WEAK - peep - bhai zara see jaga de do na PLEEEZ.
The older mercedes W123 and W126 actually had two pairs of horns with a flip switch to choose which to sound. The urban one was the flat plate type which was itself very bossy with a deep tone. Their tone was very closely mimicked by Honda Accord 2nd gen and 3rd gen factory mitsuba horns.
They also had fanfare horns which you call "poon poon" horns for autobahn use. The switch was on the dashboard itself. you flicked the switchover which routed the circuit to the fanfare horns.
Both the horns were "GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I WILL ANNIHILATE YOU"
