Adjustment of the pulse energizing frequency and duty cycle of a vehicle horn is described. The horn is blown by a test energizing circuit with a varying pulse frequency and the frequency at which the horn produces the maximum sound pressure level is taken as the predetermined resonant frequency. Then the horn is blown by the test energizing circuit at the resonant frequency with a varying duty cycle and the value of duty cycle which produces a predetermined striking force of the plunger against the pole piece is taken as the predetermined impact-producing duty cycle which is used for setting the operating duty cycle of the horn in a manner depending upon the type of the horn. The horn is then blown by its own electronic energizing circuit and the actual pulse frequency thereof is adjusted, preferably by laser trimming of a resistor, to match the resonant frequency. Then the horn is blown by its own energizing circuit at the resonant frequency and the duty cycle is adjusted, preferably by laser trimming, to set the actual duty cycle in a known relation to the predetermined impact-producing duty cycle.
