Hi and welcome, it would appear the the siren has been deactivated.

Is your alarm Merc or is it by any chance a Clifford ?

 

[leebert]

Sorry Lee, I know nothing about Merc alarms, Clifford however is another matter,a lot of Merc's were fitted with these aftermarket

The siren is probably duff as Malcom has suggested.

 

[chizel]

the siren has been deactivated or failed

Test the siren by unplugging it from the car's wiring. Put a separate 12v feed through it (for example from a spare battery). If it doesn't make a sound you know it is faulty. Cheap enough to replace.

Yours should be a factory fit scorpion alarm system, search the forum for scorpion and there is loads on here.
Look at the siren, there should be a black circular plastic flap, open it and you will see a key hole. You should have a small key somewhere and thats used for turning off the siren.
Where are you??? I had to do loads of reasearch on the scorpion alarm because my dad has one on his 320CE
Does your fob look like this??
