Frequent use of car and motorcycle horns has caused noise pollution in several countries. The final goal of the present study is to clarify the causes of horn use and to propose countermeasures to suppress horn use in such areas. To this end, we have been investigating relationships between horn use and factors related to the vehicular environment in Taipei, Taiwan and Seoul, South Korea. We measured and recorded horn use and traffic circumstances at three intersections in each area. We found the similar result: the frequency of horn use approximately increased as the traffic volume of standard-sized vehicle. In Taipei, drivers often used their horns when they had to wait for the vehicles in front to start moving at the beginning of the green-light phase for turning left. In Seoul, drivers often used their horn in situations where they turned right as well as in the similar situations at the beginning of all green-light phases. In both areas, the mean start delay time when a horn was used was significantly longer than when a horn was not used. One of the main reasons for horn use, common to both regions, is the delay in starting the vehicle.
