A system (10) for silently communicating a horn-signal (12) between vehicles is provided. The system (10) includes a sending-vehicle (14) equipped with a horn-button (18) operable by a horn-operator (20), a transmitter (22) configured to transmit, using electromagnetic-energy, a horn-signal (12) in response to the horn-operator (20) operating the horn-button (18), and a first location-device (24) configured to determine a send-location (26) of the sending-vehicle (14). The transmitter (22) is configured to incorporate the send-location (26) into the horn-signal (12). The system (10) may also include a receiving-vehicle (16) different from the sending-vehicle (14). The receiving-vehicle (16) is equipped with a receiver (30) configured to detect the horn-signal (12), and a second location-device (36) configured to determine, based on the horn-signal (12), a relative-location (34) of the sending-vehicle (14) relative to the receiving-vehicle (16).
