I think it's a horn, and part of the whole VR angle. I'm convinced that a large portion of the game, namely the things happening when he "wakes up" from his nine year coma are all a mix of PTSD induced hallucinations and VR. I'm going to post the lyrics from the song used in the trailer and highlight what I feel are the most important parts. Also note, around the middle of the song there's a lot of whispering and distant voices.

We are not your kind of people.

You seem kind of phoney.

Everything's a lie.

We are not your kind of people.

Something in your makeup.

Don't see eye to eye.

We are not your kind of people.

Don't want to be like you.

Ever in our lives.

We are not your kind of people.

We fight when you start talking.

There's nothing but white noise

Running around trying to fit in,

Wanting to be loved.

It doesn't take much.

For someone to shut you down.

When you build a shell,

Build an army in your mind.

You can't sit still.

And you don't like hanging round the crowd.

They don't understand

You dropped by as I was sleeping.

You came to see the whole commotion.

And when I woke I started laughing.

The jokes on me for not believing.

We are not your kind of people.

Speak a different language.

We see through your lies.

We are not your kind of people.

Won't be cast as demons,

Creatures you despise.

We are extraordinary people.

A lot of that seems to tie into what we've been show and may provide some insight.
