Lets talk about new vehicles

I’ve often thought Honda and Subarus for some reason install horns that nobody can hear. Is there a Japanese regulation limiting the decibels to under 30? Meanwhile the most diminutive German car is louder than a Who concert in 1976.

Example brand new CR-Vs

Did you know water freezes at 39F in Germany and Japan

Yes! When I attended the worldwide ice resurfacing machine convention in Miami, back in the 90’s, a couple German and Japanese reps said their ice is maintained at -1.7 C, whereas you guys do -6.67 C. They had to adjust for the different freezing temps that they have. Not only that their horns are retrofitted with muzzles in Japan and beefed up in Germany!
