Car horns are probably just about the noisiest device on an automotive electrical circuit (back electromotive forces). What would happen to the horn if I were to install a snubber or a diode across the horn itself? Would that reduce the BEMF seen throughout the cars electrical system? Would the horn be louder or quieter? Or no change?
I'm on the road right now and can't do the experiment. In my hotel room and in my personal boredom (no work on Sundays) I ponder these things. What do you think would happen? No, this is not a test, just a pointless discussion. Maybe. Maybe not. Since the automotive electrical system is notoriously noisy, could a snubber on the horn reduce the amount of noise to all electronics? Well, I'm pretty certain it would reduce the electrical noise, but I wonder what that might do to the horn.
