    I just got a second hand car which has an aftermarket alarm installed.

    Here they are (red arrow)

    Every time I lock or unlock the car, it makes two really annoying and very loud beeps. The old man I bought it off didn't have a clue how to disable the noise.

    Anybody ever seen this type of alarm before, and do you have any idea how to disable the lock/unlock sound? Can't find this alarm on google. Guessing it's pretty old.

    Thanks

    I'd say the beep in that case is aimed at people outside the car. Shouldn't be too hard to disable that, as it's probably taking a feed of the reversing light switch?

    Check the reverse light bulbs. There are beeping bulbs available, and a previous owner could have installed those beeping bulbs instead of standard ones.

    Very common for JDM cars to have cabin beepers for reverse, particularly automatics.
