Primary Mission

Silence the Horns advocates for the elimination of horn sounds in acoustic vehicle alerts. Our primary mission is that all new cars manufactured for sale in North America not use a horn device for non-emergency purposes. Such functions include remote lock feedback, remote start feedback,
vehicle location, tire pressure alerts, charging alerts, alerts of key fobs left in cars, or pedestrian alerts. We seek to accomplish this goal through consistent industry agreement, or federal legislation as needed.

Once non-emergency horn use has been eliminated in newly manufactured vehicles, efforts will also focus on reducing non-emergency horn use in the existing fleet of vehicles.

Audible Car Alarms

We strongly encourage the auto industry to adopt silent or quieter alternatives. That stated, our initial primary focus targets horn use with routine, non-emergency functions as outlined above.
