Well I've got: The driver, Thomas Whittaker Berry, was sounding the horn at a frantic pace and the distinctive honk could be heard throughout the area. Distinctive, err, don't really like it, but what else is there???

It's difficult. It's not high-pitched or anything, but I don't know what it is. I'll leave it for now. I'll go have a muse.
