Just adding my experience and parts notes here. My spend was under $30, took little time, and I'm no mechanic.
I bought from Amazon the Farbin 2 tone 410 and 510 hz horn snail kit, choosing the lowest cost color (green that day) since everything is hidden in any case.
FARBIN Car Horns 12v Loud Dual-Tone Electric Auto Horn Train Horns Kit for Trucks Motorcycle (Green horn, 12v)
Also, the wiring harness adapter to convert the Honda plug to universal connectors, this one:
SEINECA 2pcs Car Horn Adapter Wiring Harness Pigtail Socket Compatible with Honda Civic or Honda (2016-)
So easy to follow others' posts from before me about the DIY steps--THANK YOU for those!! Search here and find them, and give them a thumbs up.
I replaced one "meeper" with the lower toned snail Farbin horn and tested the sound. WOW, and with just one horn replaced. Contrast of the stock high note meep alongside the new and very loud low note HONK made a huge difference after replacing just one alone.
Do this modification for your own safety, you'll get heard honking!

Time and money decision, that. Yards charge for parts, too, right? Surely that's more fun than online ordering, though. Yet, horns don't last forever and you could end up with a short life expectancy for all your troubles.
