Woke at 4am this morning to the sound of a siren going off. Sounded like a powerful one but I wasn't really awake so not too sure what it was. SWMBO had been awake for some time and couldn't work out what it was. Stuck my head out of the window and it sounded like the noise could be at the front of the house. Got some trousers on and headed for the front door and the siren stopped
Stepped outside and couldn't identify any likely cause. Went back to bed for a bit, worried about the powersounder so went back outside and had a sniff around the base of the windscreen, nothing, went back to bed.
Got up this morning and removed the power sounder. Before I removed it I tried triggering the alarm and we decided that it sounded like the 4am alarm but not as powerful :-/
After removing it I now get 20 seconds of fast flashing from the led on the dash when I set the alarm. If I trigger the alarm the hazards flash but not a peep from the horn 
Finally I split the powersounder open to confirm how close it was to spontaneous combustion and the batteries look immaculate
Time to contact andyc for a new alarm horn. Not sure about the powersounder. I think the flashing from the led (indicating a fault) may get to me and force me to replace it..............

I wonder if the powersounder would notice if I removed it's batteries and reinstalled it sans batteries?

The power sounder is the spawn of Satan in my opinion. I removed mine and then bludgeoned it to death. Silence is golden....
