Question Horn sounds like a VW

So it was about 40below zero here in Minnesota a week ago. During the cold spell my horn sounded very high pitched. I asumed it had something to do with the cold but now that it warmed up it still sounds different
Anyone have this happen before? Is that a waranty item?

Well there is actually 2 horns on the truck, a high pitched one and a low pitched one, so I'm guessing your low pitched horn went out

If you want louder... get a train horn. Problem solved.

Mine got water in it and it sounded like a bicycle horn. Ford replaced it under warranty.
