Using a vehicle horn when there is no imminent danger is prohibited under New York City's noise code. A small number of local officials, noise experts and activists have pushed the city for decades to enforce the law.
New York officials have tried to discourage honking since at least the 1930s. In 1936, prolonged and unreasonable blowing of a horn was outlawed when the city passed its first comprehensive noise code.
