Nice.
Maybe it is not fair for me to comment. I slept for years next to 3000lbs Hydraulics, 4500lbs High pressure air, running equipment, LOUD ventilation fans being woken up to the sound of the a collision alarm, general alarm, or power plant alarm. Then we put all of that underwater in a steel tube. So you have to understand a horn blowing at me anywhere does not register in my brain, or on the scale of things that matter in this world.
Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I think the second chirp sets the alarm system.
When I "chirp" I don't want to scare anyone and even when I don't... I fear the door ding. So I park 30 feet from the nearest car.
On my Dakota, I programmed the horn not to sound- easy, directions are in owners manual.
Sometimes I have to do it to find my car. So many people drive a white fusion here. It's better than actually setting off the alarm though. Idk why they click multiple times.
My alarm chirps on every push of the fob, once when I arm it and twice when I disarm it. If someone happens to be near the car when i arm or disarm so be it. If it scares them so be it. They can go home and complain about it on the internet for all I care. LOL.

I do that on purpose. I wait for people to walk in front of the car, then hit the horn. You have to be careful though. Sometimes they get upset when you chuckle, so try to keep the laughs quiet.
Later on, I search BITOG to see if anyone is complaining about it.
I also make sure the car is set so the reverse lights come on when I unlock, then anyone nearby stops because they think I'm backing out. Oh, and if someone is parking lot stalking me for my spot, I often randomly walk around the parking lot to see how far they'll follow me.

I set off the panic alarm just to watch people jump. Hitting the the remote start really throw people for a loop.

Well maybe and are there more important things in the world? Absolutely - but on the other hand how is this any different than arguing over the filtering abilities of one filter over another, or the cold flow properties of various oils, and which one is "better" for a certain application.
