I'll keep distinctive if I have too, I didnt realise there isnt a word. Perhaps I should invent one? The driver, Thomas Whittaker Berry, was sounding the horn at a frantic pace, and the muckgluck honk could be heard throughout the area.

Why not just put 'the unique sound of it' or something like that.
