    any horns will do really. Vauxhall twin horns are usually a decent volume/sound IME

    Is there a chance yours is faulty?

    And therefore fitting a used one may be a decent solution

    It usually depends on the car spec. The higher spec cars would usually come with dual tone horns, the lower spec with a crappy £1.50 single tone. This is a standard operating procedure amongst European car manufacturers.

    Overall they both generate very similar dB, however, dual tone are much more perceptible due to both high and low frequency sound.
