Before I scream or go insane.

I got back last night about 6pm after staying with my best friend for Christmas eve and Christmas day, and the alarm was going off then, I eventually managed to get to sleep and its still going off now! It hasn't stopped, whether its been going off since Christmas eve or not I don't know but its driving me insane!

Is it a car or house alarm? Could you call 101 (non-emergency) and ask them what you could do? Sympathy, one of the most annoying things ever!

Call environmental health!

They will get it turned off. They can even break in and cut off internal alarms.

Call 101 OP, if it's a house alarm there could be a burglary in progress.

So so so bloody annoying, sympathy....

sometimes such sirens accidentally fall off the wall and are accidentally driven over.

A ladder may help.

In most cases, alarms are only allowed to sound for 20 minutes.

Is there a phone no or company name on the box?

It is neighbourly for the people next door to look over the fence and through the windows for signs of a break in. Have you done that yet? If you see such signs, the police will attend when they have time. They do not attend false alarms with no reports of a criminal.

Apparently it started Christmas day, so any burglar would be long gone I should imagine, I went out and came back to peace and quiet. Its nice now. I couldn't see any signs of damage and its a gym, so there is no alarm outside to notice

They have to be law reset after 20 minutes.If it isn't doing so ring the council (noise pollution)and the police.

The police can't do anything about alarms ringing. If you call them they'll come out and check the house is secure but can't stop the noise I'm afraid

Just noticed its a gym, the police may have a key holder listed for the premises on their system
