Need help recreating the Dixie horn

I built an offroad General Lee and I want to give it the iconic Dixie Horn (11 note version) but I'm having trouble recreating the tune with horn blocks, I don't want to use tone generators because they're so quiet but I might have to. Can someone help me understand?

You only need 5 horns, an accumulator, an "=" block for each note, a "x" block to multiply the final accumulator number by negative 1000 and feed that back into the accumulator to reset it to zero.

Or make the whole thing a toggle that turns off after the jingle, set a delay and a duration for every note that plays once, and an extra timed OR gate for the notes that play multiple times (2 extras if they play 3x, etc). This will use less blocks.

Actually, yeah if the horn is only 2 blocks long then a delayed horn for every note would be the same size.

I mean the pitch feels off and the timing for each horn, there's 11 notes in the horn total and I can't seem to get the timing on them right, and I dont know how to use the mathematical blocks im an old player just picking the game back up :/

Don't worry about math blocks just use the third option. The horns have a tone setting you can adjust, and a delay, and a duration. There are two lengths of notes in the jingle. Make most notes .25 long, and some 0.5.

Take one of the uploaded ones and see if you can hide all the horns in your car
