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