Having done a little research on the noise from car alarms the facts are as follows:
The noise from car alarms is covered by The Audible Motor Vehicle Alarms Act 2005 that came into force on 1 January 2007.
The relevant section covering car alarms reads:
99A (3) The audible motor vehicle alarm of a motor vehicle to which this regulation applies-
(a) may not at any time emit a noise exceeding 55 decibels
(b) may not emit a noise for a continuous period of more than ninety seconds
(c) may not emit a noise for more than ninety seconds in response to a single vent initiating the emitting of a noise, and
(d) shall be maintained in good working order so as to comply with the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) to (c)

Agree with bowfer here cant do any halm if a car is fitted with an LEDS. Also i recon a good majority of people who break into cars aint all there i.e drugs or booze and a flashing light could kinda wake them upto the fact that it might be alarmed.
Also agreeing with keeping an eye out on other belongings, if there wernt some half decent people left what would this country be like?? Even worst than it is atm!

I'd imagine it was made in Japan but its the same year as mine, but definately louder -
looking at your other post about limits, 55db is very quiet! Interesting legislation eh!
