I have a really loud alarm horn and it drives the neighbors crazy! Is there anything I can do to kind of quiet it a little besides re-locating? I tried to put some paper towels in it to quiet it but it didn't work.

 

Talking about chirp confirmation?

not really, no. you could find a smaller siren, but it would really only help a little.

what brand alarm?

It's really the length of chirp the brain puts out that makes a difference. just mute it if it bothers you that much...

 

It's an Ungo alarm, heard of it? I want to see if my friend wants to trade me, I doubt it though lol.

 

who cares. be glad its actually loud enough for people to notice you have an alarm...

 

Absolutely...quiet it down and it may prove to be ineffective one day..

 

Ahh, so it might be a good thing eh?

 

perhaps...would you own a german shepard that didnt bark?

 

If you're talking about the chirp when you arm/disarm can't you do a button sequence to make it silent? On the clifford matrix 3.5/viper 791xv it's Aux then lock/unlock...

 

lol good point.

 

i have an omega mAX E alarm. My question is the opposite...how do i make it louder?

 

Maybe you can turn the sensitivity down on the alarm so it won't go on as often and not bother your neighbors. Every time a car with a loud exhaust pass by, the car in the next parking lot always turn on, while mines doesn't. Yet mines is sensitive enough to give a warning beep when you kick the tire lightly, and turns on if u kick it harder. I got a 2-way alarm and I wouldn't want any false alarms and making me run out to look at my car =D.
To make the sound lower, maybe you can build a cardboard box and put the siren in there. If it's still too loud, a thicker cardboard box? =P If still not good enough, try a different material.. i don't know.. metal? plastic? Good luck!

 

Cardboard wouldn't work so well after a drive through the rain.

 

A) use the silent arm/disarm function if u got it
B) replace the siren with a smaller one but thats hard to find, they are all similar sizes

 

its not the size of the siren, its the length of chirp from the brain. While adding a smaller siren might help a tiny bit, it wont do much..
