Is yours a 2011? Mine is the loudest horn I've ever had on a car. Maybe it's that loud so Mack trucks can hear you.
Mine doesn't seem all that ridiculously loud either. It's definitely a bit louder than the dual-tone Mazda6 horn that I installed in our Mazda3, but nothing that impresses me. If I can get people to veer off the road because they're so startled when I honk at them, then I know I have a loud horn.
Ohhh I have a funny story. I had pulled my 2 into the garage and shut the door so I could work on taking the headlights out without being in the wind and cold outside.... I managed to drop one of those small plastic rivets down from the hood release area into the grille somewhere so I was bent over at the waist looking for it. Didn't realize my keys were in my hoodie pocket and one of them was pressing the "PANIC" button. I stood STRAIGHT up when the horn started blowing and lights flashing, I had NO IDEA what was going on. I didn't even know where my keys were. I figured it out in about 10 seconds but holy crap is that horn loud in a confined place.
About gave me a heart attack.

The horn is one of my favorite parts of the car. It sounds like it should be on a big, domestic SUV or something. That's a good thing, though. I feel small cars should have the advantage of a commanding horn.

This one has a Bosch Europa horn. I don't think that's OEM horn location but it's a pretty cool spot (and unobstructed) lol

Thankfully I've only had to use the horn once, but it worked!
Horn update: My horn sounds loud and proud again! I think the colder weather changed the sound a bit.

It definitely does mute the sound quite a bit.
In any case, I think this summer I'm going to replace the stock horn with some Hellas. I've had a couple more close calls with idiots trying to run me off the road, and I could really use a way to let people know I mean business. The louder and more obnoxious, the better. I want ears to bleed on my command.
Hella supertones will not make ears bleed, but they may be a little louder then the stock 2 horn. I wasn't that impressed with them on my wrx. I heard one the other day that was so damn loud I swear I could feel my eardrums pulsate. It hurt. You need to go with a setup utilizing a sizeable compressor if you want serious loudness.
On the other end of the spectrum, I haven't had a horn on my miata for a few months now and it's starting to get annoying.
