Can I get a louder horn?

Depends on how loud you want to be. Most states do have limits on horn
volume, but many cars are well below the legal limit, so there's a good
chance you can get a louder horn without breaking any laws.

Pull your own at a junkyard.

 

I'm not that kinky.

Do check your local laws first, at first glance, I believe many of their
products would be illegal for use on public roads in many jurisdictions.

I got one from a Volvo to replace one in my Toyota.
Works well. Switched it to the next one, too, IIRC

I would suggest that you put a handy switch in the wire to the
replacement / addition, in case you want to give a quiet "beep" with
the weak one in a non-emergency.

Nah, after an hour of him, you'd drive the car into a tree yourself, Just To

I dunno, I'd think a really loud horn would be more likely to startle an
oblivious driver into doing something dangerously stupid, like swerving out
of control. It might also startle other drivers around you who aren't
currently doing anything stupid. It can be really hard to tell who's
honking at who sometimes.

I have to admit, there'd be a certain visceral satisfaction in blasting
some idiot with 130 decibels of obnoxious sound. Not sure how useful it
would actually be, though...

Sure you can. It won't stop such stuff though and might even make some
idjit lose control and hit someone most likely you. Some of the rigs can
literally scare you to death.
Just keep an eye out for everyone else. The roads are getting so crowded
I hate to go near town. Everyone is talking on a dad blamed cellphone or
even reading a book like I saw a few days ago. Give them a minute's
inattention and they could kill us.

Trains use them on public roads every day, so it must be legal.

You didn't say which car you drive, but odds are, an auto parts store
could put in a more authoritative horn for under $100. Just shop around
at auto parts shops in your area. You may even be able to do the work
yourself.

Air horns are widely available and are inexpensive.

See "http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=40135"

Try to get at least 130dB. Ensure that you use a relay (hook the
existing horn wires to the relay coil).
