What do you call the sound emitted by a car horn? Is there a formal, non-informal term for the sound? I am pretty sure there is an informal and a formal word for it, but I rather have the formal word.

    They stood and observed how long it took for the other cars to honk.

  2. (intransitive) To make a loud, harsh sound like a car horn
