Hi, i managed to put an end to the annoying car honk sound coming from my phone.

The cause: I had recently installed an app called Park + which was synced with the RFID on both my cars. Everytime each car entered or exited our apartment complex, the RFID was automatically scanned.

The notification setting on the app was programmed to sound me an alert whenever these scans happened, and the default sound was the car honk sound.

Solution: I deselected the alert and since then the sound has stopped.

If you are facing the issue due to same reason, hopefully the above solution works like it did for me.

Start here:

Go to Settings --> Sounds and Notifications.

Make sure none are set to your honk.

If this doesn't work,

Go to Settings --> Applications

Check running Applications.

Disable one by one until you figure out which one is honking.

The problem is that the honk only occurs rarely, so it would take forever and a day to track down which app is causing it by disabling. In addition, the honk is not a standard notification sound, nor did I install such a sound bite. Virus checker finds nothing.
