Default Alarm Triggered but no audio alarm

Recently, my alarm triggers in my driveway, or in a parking lot for no apparent reason. The hazard lights will flash, and I will get the notification on my dash, but there is no audio. Does anyone know what is going on, or how I can get this to stop happening. One more note... It only happens when I lock my doors. If I leave my car unlocked, it never happens.

Most likely the alarm siren has gone bad and needs to be replaced.

This same thing happen to my dad in his BMW.
Alarm sirens have built in batteries.
And if the bartteries are old orsomehow get messed up, then that will set of the alarm as a warning that it is almost dead.
What sucks is on the BMW they uses asilicon glue in the unit, and heatskrink the sides of the alarm, so the batteries can't be replaced by the user.
have to get a new one.
