However, do not use word “brake” as it if from the words of mass-centric drivers. Horns are not about mass and exertion but about velocity and consequential pressure, so in horns there are no brakes but rather damping over rate of velocity change. 

This is true only for a theoretically perfect horn, where the diaphragm is loaded symmetrically in both directions. The small closed chamber loads the diaphragm very differently than the horn in front of it, and it acts exactly like a brake, not to mention the influence of the sonic soup of air born resonances that are formed inside that chamber.

In all cases - it is exactly the opposite :-))
