Is this what a jeep horn sounds like?

I've been looking for an accurate recording of a horn so I can tune my own horns (I have 3).

Right now my horn sounds much lower in pitch..... I know they can be adjusted but I need some sort of reference.

This is about how mine sounds..

Kinda gravelly and low. My horn is an DELCO 6v trumpet horn... just wandering what I should tune it to sound like.

Tuned up the horn.. got the gravel sound out of it and it sounds like a horn... the trumpet does muffle it a bit.

I don't think the high pitched 'beep beep' sound is 'period correct'. Could be wrong... but that trumped on the horn does affect the tone.
