Default Horn question

Hello, the horn of my 05' Accord just recently started sounding different. It now has a higher sounding horn as opposed to the big deep sound it used to have before. I hate the way it sounds now because it just sounds like a cheap horn now. I dont what could have caused this because i dont have any battery power sapping mods or any mods to my car for that matter other that mud guards and leather seats. It almost sounds as if one horn is working ( the high pitched one) while the other is not (i've always heard that pitch but there was always another lower pitch in unison with that one).

p.s. i'm sorry if this question has been posted before

p.p.s. i checked the horns and nothing is obstructing the holes

There are actually two horns used to make that pleasant horn sound you are referring to... a "high horn" and a "low horn".... sounds liek your low horn is having some issues....

Are you within your bumper-to-bumper?? Is your horn somewhere in-between your front and back bumper??

Yes, it is directly behind the front bumper. I bought the car new so it came with the factory 3 yrs/36000 mi warranty and on top of that i bought the extended warranty which extends it to like 5 or 6 yrs with like 70000 mi or so.
Either way it only has about 19000 miles and its about a 1 yr and 4 months since i've purchased it with like 250 mi of test drive miles ( i know thats kind of a lot).

Okay, haha. Thanks, I wasnt sure if it would be covered by the warranty but clearly the dealership can do something about it.
