A vehicle includes a horn assembly disposed behind a grille. The horn assembly includes a coil configured to generate a magnetic field in response to a current, a first diaphragm connected to a first plunger, a second diaphragm connected to a second plunger, and a spring. The spring is connected to the first and second plungers such that oscillation is transferred from the first diaphragm to the second diaphragm through the spring in response to the magnetic field from the coil.
