  • Погудеть is the best option in my opinion because it strikes a good balance between formal and informal speech.
  • Бибикать is a common word in everyday speech, but you usually don't see it in writing. I wouldn't say it's childish, it's simply very informal.
  • Сигналить or подаватьсигнал can refer to any signal, and this can be misinterpreted as flashing the lights on and off, for example. Therefore, it is unsuitable if you only want to say about honking unless it is clear from the context.
