One of your horns may be failing. You probably have two horns, a high pitch and low pitch.

Do you have a multimeter or test light so you can test for voltage to the horn once you find it?

As Dr98 mentioned, the two horns are mounted in the left front corner above the fender apron. Per the service manual, the steps to replace the horns is as follows:
1. Raise and support the hood.

2. Remove the horn bracket bolt.

3. Remove the fender apron bolts.

4. Position the fender apron aside.

5. Remove the horn.

-Disconnect the electrical connector.

-Remove the horn.

before you remove the horn bolt you need to either remove or partially remove the fender apron to get at the horn bolt.
