Anyone else find the alarm chirp / audible tone too loud?

When parked in a garage, the M4 alarm chirp when locking and unlocking is VERY loud on my M4. I actually disabled it, but then missed the confirmation that I have locked the doors. Does anyone else have the same feeling?

Hate alarm sounds on any car so I turned it off immediately on this and our last car. I know the doors are locked because the lights flash and often I can hear the sound of the locks. You can even check on your phone now too. The sound is just annoying

Never bothered me, and doesn't seem loud. It would bother me if it was the regular horn going off, instead off the BMW alarm chirp.

You can change tone in FZD module through coding. Or just see lights and folding mirrors as visual confirmation.
