I bought the alarm system and no one has stolen my beast yet, but damn,
I'm afraid to lock and unlock the thing at my apartment cuz the horn
beep is so loud. Do I have any other options than taking it in to the
dealer to get the sound confirmation turned off? I would like one of
those cool little spacey chirps that every other car has.

Without knowing the make and model of the alarm, we will be of little help
as it does not sound like a factory system.

Is it the second click on the clicker that makes a beep? I have keyless
entry and I only get the beep on the second click for confirmation. See if
one click is enough to have NO confirmation beep at all. I think these
things were engineered so that the beep is there in case you really need
audible confirmation like being close to a highway or anyplace with lots of
ambient noise. Like my dufus neighbor he beeps his stock keyless entry
every time he leaves the car even when it's dead silent outside, like the
thunk of the locks and blink of the lights isnt enough, he has to beep his
presence!!! Man it grates the hell out of me..

The double press also eliminates the grace period that would allow
somebody still in the car to exit. Not sure why that's useful. I'm not
stopping if I think the car will be stolen in the next 15 seconds.

It also verifies that all the doors are fully closed and locked..
