How to Deal with a Car Horn That Sounds Muffled After Getting Wet?
1 Answers
When a car horn gets wet and starts sounding muffled, it can be addressed by wiping it dry, air-drying, or using a hair dryer to heat it. However, if the diaphragm is damaged due to water ingress, the only solution is to replace the horn with a new one. Below is a detailed introduction to car horns: 1. Function: The horn is the sound signal device of a car. During driving, the driver uses it to emit necessary sound signals as required by regulations, warning pedestrians and alerting other vehicles to ensure traffic safety. It is also used for urging movement and conveying signals. 2. Working Principle: The air horn operates by using the airflow of compressed air to vibrate a metal diaphragm and produce sound. Therefore, it can only be used on vehicles equipped with an air compressor.
