Honk SFX should keep distance in mind at all times

My entry for Haus-All-Goes has a honk file that's a minute long. It's really fun to mess with everyone like this, because once I honk near them, they'll hear the entirety of the sound effect at the same volume, no matter how far away they get from me. Good stuff.

That said, as fun as it is, the honk sound should probably act like the engine sound and fade away if the other player gets away from the source. This also applies to the servo sound if it can be abused the same way as this.

If needed for testing, my car can be obtained from here.

Update: While we're at it, maybe the way that honk sounds are amplified when pressed before the race begins could be tweaked too. :grimacing:

I think it's perfect as it is.

That's amazing. :D
But honestly, it would probably be good if at least the second suggestion was implemented. It's etiquette to not use the horn before the race starts, but sometimes someone does spam it and in such a case it really is unpleasantly loud.

About the honk being louder if used before the race start I think it's because the game doesn't send any packets before the "GO!", and when the race starts all the honk packets gets sent at the same time, making it loud like someone is honking 50 times at once. About the honk not fading away I agree that it should be like the engine sound and fade away while being played (allows for some cool distortions like the ambulance sirens irl)
