Fodder Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi, Firstly I have searched and couldnt find an answer so apologies if this question irritates a few people Anyway, does anyone know if it's possible to increase the volume on the alarm siren? The reason I ask is I often leave the car with the roof down when popping into the shops or on the drive way however the other day I locked it with the girlfriend still inside who then set it off and the alarm was barely audible. The car is an MY06 UK Roadster with factory fitted security if it makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 no, not heard or read of anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Do you mean you've not heard of an option to adjust or the fact it's quiet? Thankfully it's soon to become a weekend only car and will be garaged so it will become less of an issue.... just never thought to test it in the last 2 years and was quite appalled at how quiet the thing is. I appreciate you taking a look and posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 My alarm is also pretty quiet, rubbish in fact, I was stood next to it when it went off the other day and didnt even notice it was the Zed, thought it was another car up the road somewhere.

M13KYF Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 never read of a way to adjust the volume, or for the that matter a complaint of its volume level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks M13KYF and Coldel for the info. I suspected there wouldnt be an option and it may not be unique to my car. I can now see lots of owners going outside to set their alarms off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jell36 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think they are all really quiet, mines gone off before when I left the window down whilst I was stood next to it, I didn't even relaise it was mine that was going off as it was so quiet until a passer by told me to turn it off.

Fodder Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Does it matter? No one notices car alarms anyway. I hear what you're saying (no pun intended) but I would seriously struggle to hear mine when it's on the drive and I'm inside the house.... in public places I agree the only person going to take any notice is going to be me... if i'm in hearing distance (within 30m or so) that is.

BulletMagnet Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Actually, it's hardly suprising that the alarm sirens are so "quiet", they are mounted in the boot under all the mats and stuff aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Just tested mine, not deafening but loud enough I guess, can certainly hear it inside the house. Never heard the roadster one go off, even if you leave it with the hood down all day with the alarm switched on, maybe its less sensitive Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
