How often do you hear a car horn at night?
During the summer, we love to sleep with the windows open for fresh air (in the house, not in the car). But every night, we are disturbed by a very rapid horn at a high pitch going “beep beep beep beep beep beep” at least six times (my husband hears seven beeps) in the space of 1 second.

Can a car alarm be programmed to not sound?
