car horn
Dashboard warning device
A car horn is the sound-making device on a vehicle used to alert others—warning pedestrians, signaling impatience, or expressing displeasure at other drivers.
The term also refers to the sound itself: I heard a car horn and looked up.
To honk or hit the horn is to activate it.
