Hello, the circuit in the steering column for the horn switch, is a ground circuit. If the problem is in the steering column and intermittently shorts to ground, your horn will honk. I can tell you how to stop it from honking,but, then you have no horn.

If there is an airbag in your steering wheel, there could be a safety issue, trying to look at the horn switch.
