Beetle OEM single tone horn replacement?

Hi all, I'm new here. My 2014 Beetle Convertible TDI has an OEM single hi-tone horn that is weak sounding to me. Has anyone had any luck with replacing the horn with dual tone VW horns, or adding a second low tone for a healthier sound? Or perhaps third party horns that might hook up to the OEM harness? Thanks.

Yours is a wrong wheel drive version, but the generic advise still applies (hint ignore the ghia, 12 volt, and possibly the relay)

Find a 12volt horn that you like, change the wiring to a ghia like relay triggered and wire it up the body side trigger to new load bearing relay run off 12volt.
