Default Horn died, looking for suggestions

So the OEM horn died. Fuse and relay are fine but horn isn't responding.

Looking for suggestions for replacement horns. Looking for louder than OEM, but I'm not thinking I want to do a three horn train or ferry setup... unless you have one that's easy and inexpensive to suggest

For anyone who replaced their horns, what did you get and how, subjectively, does it sound to you?

Not on my truck but I've run Hella duals on others. Good sound, much louder.

Wait, which ones? Because these sound like a rally car (not what you'd expect from a truck)

Lol, not those. Let me see if I have a receipt with a part #.

Google hella supertone vs sharptone. The sharptone is a little lower but people get of the way with the supertone.

Hella Supertones sound good on any vehicle! I have them on my F-150 behind the grille.

I was going to paint the red covers to match the truck, but I left them alone. They will get someone's attention.

So how's this for a kick in the crotch. All that testing and I went out and tested the connector, all working fine. Plug it back in, horns work again.

The. Hell.

I still have Sharptones on the list, though.
