Hey all, just bought a 2021 Atlas SE and the horn is driving me absolutely nuts. It’s so weak and apologetic. Any way to change it? I can do it myself but I’ve been looking through YouTube to find how-to videos and I don’t see any. Why did VW put such a wimpy horn on a big SUV? It sounds embarrassing...lol!

Are you sure something isn't wrong with it? The horn sounds normal on ours but is weakened sounding when you lock the car and get the audible on the second push of the fob/sensor on the door.

Ouch...hahahahaha. No, our 2018 sounds normal.
It’s emasculating as ****. Imagine Bruce Willis in a car chase scene trying to warn people in other cars while using that horn!

There are aftermarket horns you can surely get if you want more volume.
To tell the truth, that really sounds like the OLD OLD Beetles...like my 72 Beetle. My Atlas sounds the same, but the 2015 VW Golf Sportswagen horn will blow away anything! It is loud and strong!
Nice! I’ll look At my local junkyard. Pretty sure I can pull a good used one out of one of their cars

Same here with my 2020 CS. At first, I thought it was a homage to the original beetle. But now it's just annoying. I'm going to get a pair on Hella, just like I did on my last 4 cars.
Can you post a link? Thanks...
