Individuals and organizations who support the mission and goals of the Silence the Horns project agree that automakers should stop using horns sounds as indicators for non-emergency situations such as locking a car, filling tires with air, charging the battery of an electric vehicle, remote start, warning of key left in a car that is running, or vehicle location. This environmental noise should be eliminated at its source. We do not agree with automakers' claims that consumers are responsible for the noise because they have the option to not use the horn sound. We are grateful to car owners who refrain from using horn sounds for lock signaling, but we consider automakers responsible for the cacophony in our communities. Expressing support for our project does not imply agreement with our related opinions and statements, such as articles and other site posts, and social media posts.
