Thanks, Iwent out there in the dark this morning and sure enough the adjustment screw was there on the back as described. Turned it clockwise and it got worse, turned it counter clockwise until better, then too much. Adjusted it back and got it to go through its cycle. I'm not quite satisfied with the sound. I think I'll take it off the car at some point, clean it and lube it. I'll take a look and see who the manufacturer was. And yes, very little adjustment is needed. Also, it seems "Klaxson" is used interchangebly with other manufacturers, much the same as the noun "Kleenex" is used for all brands of tissues. Thanks for all your help! I continue to learn from all of you.
