Horn Question

Ok I have searched countless threads an im not finding the answer to my question anywhere...I have found lots of info on aftermarket horn kits but this is what im looking for. I am wanting to find a horn that i can replace my factory horn with as my low tone quit working. I would like an air horn type sound but would like to still use my factory steering wheel button for it. I had an air horn on my last 97 f150 but i had a push button switch in my dash for it a it was way too high pitched for my liking. Any info would be great!

id also say the wolo horns. i got the wolo animal house. it has a cow, sheep duck, cat, dog, rooster, horse, frog and many others. But i rather make my own animal sounds so got rid of it and put a pa system in its place now i can make which ever animal sound i want. im good with making animal impressions so works out better saying them over the pa

UPDATE: I pulled my truck in the shop today, put it on the lift an pulled the front tire off. After that it was easy to get the old horn off an put the new Wolo Bad Boy Horn on...after I found a shorter bolt than what came with the horn an made a ground wire. Its not the exact sound i was looking for (its kind of high pitched) but its louder than my stock horn was so it will work! Thanks for your info!
