Seriously? What's a "horn"? A horn, not a sound card + speakers? :-)

In the case of general-case complicated sound, this problem is very difficult, in a very general case practically unresolvable. However, if this is a prolonged beep with some dominated frequency (or small number of fixed frequencies), this is a relatively simple thing.

You should understand this very well:

Yes, the general idea is that i can generate the sound I want with the frequency I want with the horn of the system. I know that is really old and may be is not the best solution, but this is just a way to generate the sound with the frequency I need, the real problem I have is to recognize the sound and its frequency.

pd: Sorry, my English is not so good

For generating the tone you can use Console.Beep[^].
