Default SECURITY ALARM.... Help

I drive an 09 JKU with the power package(door locks, windows etc)

I'm finding lately when I'm hitting the door lock button on the keychain the doors lock and the horn let's out a quick honk. BUT sometimes the horn(honk) sounds so weak I can barely hear it when I'm locking the doors. ANYONE know what this could be or mean??
I thought I read a thread on a weak horn once but can't find it..... There's no reason the battery should be weak cause it's after being on the hiway and parking it in my driveway after work.... Any ideas thx

This could be a sign of a dying battery. I had kind of a weak horn and my battery died. When I put a new battery in, the horn sounded much louder. I had to replace the factory battery at 30k. Might be worth a check since getting stuck with a battery can be annoying.

my 04 Dodge 2500 (cummins) does this periodically... sometimes the horn honks uber loud and others it just kinda squeaks. when it squeaks and i hit the lock button again it honks at me 'normally'

don't worry about it.
