Battery Backed Up Sounder for the alarm is in that location if fitted.
Siren, tick.
Rear quarter panel, tick.
I think we might have a suspect ;)

The rest of you get a fail grade in Disco 2 knowledge.
I'd say we get honours in creative problem solving ;)Quote:

Paul, to test if it is indeed the BBUS, can I simply pull the fuse for a week, and see if I get the noise during that time??
Otherwise, what's the best way to check it, and the remedy for it.
To clarify, it is a monotone siren noise (similar to a footy siren), lasts around 3-5 seconds, and will be heard periodically, at random times, whilst idling, driving, or whilst sitting locked or unlocked.
You beat me to it Kev!
the sls levelling itself out,perhaps a partually blocked valve.it will often relevel when the engine is off
TBH, I've never seen anyone mention a problem with the BBUS unit so basically it's a matter of referring to the material LR provide in RAVE to locate cause of the issue.Quote:

If you have RAVE check out the description of how the sounder works in the Electrical Library PDF.
The are two BCU settings which enable the BBUS, so if you can borrow a nanocom or hawkeye you should be able to disable.
The wiring appears to run in the same loom as the ultrasonic detectors - up the passenger a-pillar,then across the roof and down to the quarter panel area on the drivers side. There wiring runs via a brown connector in the passenger footwell.
Again you'll probably need to have access to rave because there is information in three different PDFs that will help id the issue.
Given the sounder triggers when power is cut, it is potentially a wiring fault in the power supply. I'd be looking at the relay, connectors, earths etc.

This is the information from the electrical library pdf:

Battery Backed-Up Sounder (BBUS)
Where fitted, operation of the BBUS is controlled by the BCU.
The BBUS is armed and disarmed on a PG wire between BCU pin C0661-14
and the BBUS. In the armed condition the BBUS monitors the power feed from
the passenger compartment fusebox and automatically sounds if it is
interrupted. To disarm the BBUS the BCU supplies a 12 volts power feed on
the PG wire. To arm the BBUS, the BCU disconnects the power feed.
The BCU sounds the BBUS using a PO wire between BCU pin C0661-3 and
the BBUS. In addition to sounding the BBUS when the alarm system has been
triggered, armed and disarmed, the BCU can also sound the BBUS to produce
mislock and EKA warnings. The BCU normally maintains a 12 volts power feed
to the BBUS on the PO wire. To sound the BBUS the BCU disconnects the
power feed.
