Alarm Too Loud!

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...

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...

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..
