When I start my car in the morning I hear a strange noise like my horn is going off but it is slightly muted. Any suggestions?
 
Probably something in the category of moosing. If thats what you hear, the part that fixed it for me was the IAC motor. Its a smaller valve bolted onto the back of your upper intake. You can see it if you pop the hood. I believe it gets dirty and sticks alittle bit. You might try cleaning it before buying a new one. It cost me $60 I believe. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.
