I doubt it's anything magical, but it is certainly a powerful instrument. They seem to be somewhat wary of magic in Gondor. Perhaps it's the strength of the individual blowing it which gives it such a loud and intimidating sound? Does anyone know a more detailed history of the Horn of Gondor, save that the firstborn son traditionally bore it?
