if trains honk at every crossing (in the US), shouldn't cars be honking at every crosswalk?

No, it doesnt make sense for the following reason:
Trains have priority. Road users are required by law to yield to them.
Unless the crosswalk is signalized, cars do NOT have priority & are required by law to crosswalk users.
Fine then pedestrians should be honking at every crossing
