Half a horn after dead battery?

Sounds weird, I know. I didn't drive the 5 for about a week while enjoying the brief top-down weather in the convertible. When I tried starting the 5 battery was too drained to turn over the starter. Jumped it off no problem, but in the 3 weeks since the horn sounds like it's got 1/2 the voltage it used to. Now whenever I do the double lock with keyless, or remote start (oem model), or press the airbag, the horn sounds like a '80s Honda Civic.

Anyone else experience this? Seems strange the horn would coincidentally go out when the battery died. Everything else functions as it should since, and I never disconnected the battery, nor have I had to jump it again.

TIA!
