UP GP20 Horn replacement?

Does anyone know of a nicer alternative to the UP GP20 horn. The default horn sounds too much like a harmonica. LOL

Is it the same type used on a GP20? I'd love a copy if you don't mind. *!!thnx!!* *!!thnx!!* *!!thnx!!*

There is no "same type" of horn for locomotives. Each railroad used Different horns on their respective engines.

Technically, a horn IS a big harmonica.

You can use the RS3L or K3LA horn included with Anthony Wood's 40 series soundpack. What you have to do is copy the proxyxml or bin from the 16-645E3 folder to the UP GP20 folder to match the original bin or proxy file name, with a backup of the original.

It's WM #502's horn,a.k.a an ex-PRR,not exactly what would be on a UP GP20,but in my opinion it sounds nice:
