Has anyone fitted a better horn to the ROC? Perhaps a louder one from another VAG vehicle is better? I find the weak sound a trifle embarrasing for the R.
Any suggestions?

Not sure about the T-Roc, but all the VW's and Audi's ive owned over the past 15yrs or so have dual tone horns (dual horns, one plays a lower tone and the other a higher tone - together they produce quite a strong sound).
Is it possible that one of your horns is not operating? Has the horn always been weak? Or its possible that this is a cost saving measure on the newer VW's like the T-Roc?
If it bothers you then look into a dual tone horn upgrade.
A quick Google revealed this which is for the VW Taos (id never heard of a Taos, but it looks like a T-Cross/T-Roc/Tiguan love child that is sold in North America/South America & Russia). Apparently these have a piss weak single tone horn so this company has created a dual tone horn upgrade B2BFAB Upgraded Horn Kit, For 2022 VW Taos
It's a cost saving for us Aussies - my data sheet shows PR number 8Y0 which is "Single Tone Horn"
Other markets get this I think I'll get some GTI ones from a wrecker and see if there are two cables in the ROC otherwise I can easily fab a double adapter.
