Horn button pressure?

I'm finding the horn button pad needs quite a bit of pressure to make it operate, as if who ever designed the springs rated them just a bit to high. Try to just tap the horn to make a brief noise and I can't. Has anyone attempted to reduce the pressure needed to operate it?

Mine works ok, you're meant to press on the one of the little trumpet symbols on either side. The pad is quite flexible so you'd have to give it one hell of a pressing somewhere in the middle to get it to sound

you can press the pad in either of the 4 corners, not just the 2 trumpets

Yes, I find the horn pad spring a bit too hard, I suppose the reason is to prevent accidental tootage but I prefer a hair trigger pad for quickfire traffic deployment on my honker.
