The current laws against honking have been on the books since the 1970s... it's been illegal since 1936... when the prolonged and unreasonable blowing of a horn was outlawed in New York.
Of course, it's legal to use your horn when it's needed for safety reasons... tooting your horn when there is no imminent danger is a violation of New York City's noise code.
You'd never know horn blowing was illegal by standing on an Upper West Side street corner... the second the traffic light turned green, there was already just tons of honking.
