The horn I bought was a "Fiamm A 1 or 2 Terminal High Note 125 Decibels" It had NAPA's name on the package since that's the store I bought it from.

On a side note, I'm a bit safety conscious so I toot the horn every now and then when I ride. Just to make sure it's working if I need it. Last week it went "toot, toot, toooo" and just stopped working. I plugged my original horn in and it beeped. Soooo, I went back to NAPA to get a replacement and the jerks there didn't swap me horn for horn (and they did it with some kinda attitude). The package said "Limited Lifetime Warranty", so I followed up on it. I did mail the bad one to the company ($5 postage) and they are mailing me a replacement today. So, I'll return that one to NAPA with the receipt from the *new* one I had to buy. So in the end I'm basically getting a free replacement.
Both times I bought they only had High note and that sounds fine to me. Not sure what the Low note sounds like, maybe a tugboat or something!

Visit my site under Tips... --- > Tips... You'll see exactly how I did it there and how it looks. Every 5th ride or so, I usually have to hit it to scare the crap out of some "cager" wanting to roll into my lane on the expressway. This guy yesterday almost lost control of his S10 pickup when I showed him who was boss in my lane!
To me, a good loud horn is cheap insurance to save your but, as is my "BackOff!" tail light modulator.
