Horn vs. No Horn when arming security system
Click the remote once, the doors lock, I assume the system is armed.
Click the remote a second time, horn sounds. Pretty sure it's armed now.
What's with the second click / horn blast?
Nothing in the manual about a horn sounding.
Forgive me for being a newbie, but I've only had the car for two days.

The horn sounds to let you know the system is locked and armed just in case you didn't get that impression the first time you hit the lock button.
In my experience, I hate the horn, so I usually look back to see the lights blink when I hit the lock button. But dammit, some days I miss the lights and/or don't hear the locking sound so I'm left uncertain and am forced to really press the button hard. "HONK!!!!" God I hate how loud it is.
In summary, I pretty much do everything in my power not to have to hear the horn.

The 2nd click with the beep is just to confirm that the alarm is armed. And as for it not being in the manual, it's in there, you might want to try 
next time, at least before you blame the manual.

I really wish it was quieter or used a separate tone. Our passat has a nice gentle horn tone associated with it. On the other hand, it does have a range of about 6 inches, whereas I can arm the TSX from the top of the speedline platform (an el train) with a relatively clear line of sight - a distance of a least 100 feet

I'm game to be wrong, but I couldn't find it. Not on page 173.

On TL or TL-S it just beeped and it sounds a lot better than horn.

I like alarms that auto lock silently... in my s2000 the option exist to do that in the factory alarm (18 seconds after shutting the last door/trunk (after engine was shut off) it arms itself). in my gsr it auto locks but beeps... i have to manually press the silent alarm button to avoid a beep (late at night, for example).
