Default Alarm Chirp Missing

It seems someone has stolen my GM canary, it always used to chirp when the alarm was armed or dissarmed but now it is silent, how can I get a new one?
Seriously the alarm chirp has dissapeared but the alarm book only talks about dissarming the chirp,but not ractivating it, can it be reactivated? if so how? or is it likely to be broken?
Not a major issue but would like to get it working if possible, as usual all and any advice greatfully recieved.

Mike.

If you heard a "chirp" noise, that sounds like an aftermarket alarm system. On a stock C5, the horn sounds.

Thanks Lucky, perhaps I should have mentioned its European spec, perhaps they are different specs over here for the alarm? but the original GM handbook and alarm booklet both mention the chirp and how to disarm it by pressing button 3 then button 2 in quick succession.

Hmmm. I can't speak to the EU version, and if it has a different sound. If I remember correctly, there is a setting in the DIC, for the "horn"(or chirp) to not sound, when the car is locked(system armed).

Might ask the missus to help you out. Maybe she can get to chirp.
