Why are they dissonant? Has there been some study that there are more
effective than inharmonious ones?

Mine just goes "beeeep"

I had a Vauxhall Astra hire car the other week whilst my Rover 45 was
in for work on the head gasket. The horn on the Astra was feeble by
comparisson, or maybe it was the amount of sound insulation that is
packed around the driver.

The works van is a Mercedes Vito. The horn on that is, well, let's just
say you wouldn't use it to intimidate people!

Wouldn't or couldn't?

One suggests you'd have the entire local population in therepy due to
the shock, the other says you wouldn't upset a nervous paranoid.

Ah, yes - I see what you mean! Nervous paranoids won't be upset even if
I peeped the horn in their ear'oles...

Just come back from a trip into town by bus - it was a brand new Stagecoach
veeehicle - the driver had a peep at WVM, and the horn on the bus was
simply laughable!
