Loud is not always the answer. Try the ahooga or ooga horn. It's different and people will take notice. I put one on my truck and people jump when they hear it.

Fiamm electric (12v) air horns. Lots of options. Had the twin high note version on a car I used to own. As the note is both distinctive and loud, you will get noticed.

Hit the junkyard and get a set of horns from a mid-90s Cadillac or Buick Roadmaster with the 4 notes. Two will be in the left fender, two will be in the right. The notes are A, C, D, and F. You can see them marked on the horns themselves. You'll have to get creative and make a bracket, but I put them on everything I own because they work:

Reminds me of a story...
I'm a retired paramedic and one of the siren settings we had sounded like a machine gun...called a phaser.
One day while returning to our neighbourhood station, a couple of boys jumped out from the bushes, armed with their wooded guns loaded with elastics on clothes pegs and started shooting at us. We laughed.
I drove around the block and came back. This time though, with the siren turned off and set to "phaser". As predicted, the two boys came out from the bushes again, aimed their "weapons" and with a flip of a switch, were greeted with machine gun fire in return. OMG, we laughed so hard. One ran away, the other dropped to the ground. Surely one or both crapped their pants.
Great memory.

Even though you're probably right, an 'ooga' horn would sound ridiculous on a C5! Maybe that's just me......
