Isn't that a good thing ? Hearing something they are used to hearing may fade into the athmospher like white noise, compared to a loud sound that they've never heard that would actually catch their attention.

I do, however like the idea to get behind a car that was honking at me for no reason and just start honking back Road rage at its best
