I take all my cars to the "easy" inspection station.

If you can drive it in, you are getting a sticker.

It’s a PITA to change those horns on an Elantra. You have one each underneath the passenger and driver headlights behind the bumper cover. If you have a lift you can unscrew the splash/plastic skid from underneath and reach up there and disconnect. Or you can remove the front bumper cover.

But I would check and make sure that it’s not a fuse first.

C. Horn
1. The horn shall be securely fastened.
2. The horn shall be an original type horn or an equivalent.
3. The horn shall be functional and audible for a distance of 200 feet.
4. An auxiliary horn must be wired to a separate switch.

This is from the State Police rules. Did the guy go 200ft away to see if it was loud enough?

Sounds like you may be using the incorrect horn fluid. Might want to perform a horn flush. That should fix it.

My teenager has an Elantra which needs an inspection. I took it to the local place Saturday morning and the technician tells me it's gonna fail because the "low frequency" horn isn't working.

Man. The shite you guys in Louisiana still put up with.

Our sticker is good until the end of October so I'm just going to ride it out with my one horn and hope he doesn't get a ticket.

You should also hope he doesn't get any more felonies!

I was in a drug store in Montgomery and a man picked up a prescription. When he left the pharmacies told me that guy put a train whistle on his truck. Saw a drinking buddy stopped at a RR crossing and pulled behind him and blew the whistle.

His pal thought he was on the rr track and sped ahead.. Train missed him by a blink. Scared both men greatly and he was surprised neither man had a heart attack.
