I didn't look at every state but the pattern I see says two things:

1 - No vehicle may be equipped with, nor may a person use, a siren, whistle, or bell, except as otherwise permitted - in other words; you can't sound like an emergency vehicle.
2 - Any horn or other warning device shall not emit an unreasonably loud or harsh sound - Any statute that is written with a subjective test is next to worthless. What's "unreasonably loud or harsh" to one person is normal for another person. There has to be an objective standard for it to be enforceable in a true court.

It;s interesting Virginia's statute says: "It shall be unlawful for any vehicle operated on a public highway to be equipped with any warning device that is not of a type that has been approved by the Superintendent".
Superintendent of what?
