Have been enjoying my SX Turbo for over a year now. No horns when locking and unlocking. Just the flash and the beep. as a matter of preference, I like that horn doesn't honk. Of course the app on my phone does tell me when I've left the Seltos unlocked.

I set my car to “not” honk when locking my doors. If you want it to make the honk sound, use the options on your steering wheel to change the “door” settings, I think they either use the word “beep” or “honk.” It’s in the same area as your light settings in the instrument console. I think many people don’t realize the design of selecting through the menus, as one button does act as an “enter/select” button to go further into the menus.

Let me know if you can’t find it and I’ll go take pictures of the steps, so you can see it.

I am in the United States, obviously some Seltos's are set to lock/hock on single press of lock button and some only work by press the lock button 2x.

I have the "S" Model and the 1st image below is the menu for the door, but you have to keep scrolling down to see the “Horn Feedback” option & check it. If that doesn’t work or exist, then send a picture of your Keyfob . I see people in India making it work by quickly programming with the Keyfob buttons. Also, just curious if your horn “honks” at all when you press it or ever made any kind of sound?

If you have the 4-button key fob, Press & Hold the Lock button & then also press the Unlock button (right after that) & hold them "both" buttons for about 10 seconds (until see the front headlights flash 4 times). This is how you activate/deactive the Horn Sound on Lock in some countries.

Hope this helps, just trying to help.

I have the S model. My horn randomly works when it wants to. I thought it was just a setting issue when I locked the car, but then I tried pressing the horn and nothing. Not even the faintest sound. 3 days later... Worked fine. 2 days after, nothing... It's working now, but for how long?

I have the EX model in Canada and the beep stopped randomly when locking with the FOB and with the handle. It does actually lock.
The unlock button on my FOB does beep, just not the lock. There isn't a setting in my menu.

Here in Oz, the lock/unlock funtions are silent, with just a flash of the indicator lights, and that's just the way I like it. I think I'd hate to have the horn honk each time. I find it distracting when other makes do this.

That will be a grounding issue, for sure. I had the same issue along withthe cruise only working intermittently as well, in a previous car. A Mitsi Verada ei Touring. Took the steering wheel boss in the centre off, and retightened all connections, and it fixed both problems. It was the horn not working that prompted me to do that - loved that it fixed the cruise issue as well. Might be best to ask the dealer garage to do that on the Seltos though, as there is so much more on the wheel these days. I suggest you check the actual horn mounting to the engine or chassis under the hood as well.

I've had the horn replaced twice in my 21 ex. It's a known issue. The horn just stops working. Sometimes it will work sporadically but because my dealer has identified the issue, as soon as it stops I take it in and they replace something.
