I am more inclined to believe it was actually a magical talking alarm (like the trolls wallet!)
It was a generic horn call, A 911 bugle blast to account for all sorts of emergencies.
And the Hobbits had no magic. Absolutely none.

So something like 'Bwa, Ba, Baa, Bawa, Bawa' - guess you can tell I'm no musician huh!
I agree, Rumil. The horn blast imitates the call.
