Some have a feature where you can have it in 'quiet' mode, ie it doesn't sound when you lock/unlock but the sired sounds when it's set off. My old Steel Mate (cheap but good :p) had a button on the remote for the siren to run it in normal or quiet mode.

that usually just turns the actual siren on the alarm (if the alarm triggers) off though.

oo, dont know much bout rhinos
maybe u could check with the person who fitted it in, or look for the manual for ur model from rhino

maybe its model specific that it doesnt make any sounds, or maybe u could switch it on.

i go to the rhino site.. for some reason they wont let me download the manual coz i have to enter some password in which is odd and wen i bought this car of mine, it came with the alarm. so dont know much about it

might have a valet switch
(this is used when u take ur car to mechanics or something so when they open doors the alrm doesnt go off every second) the switch / button could be located neer your feet somewhere i suggest you read ur manual if u have one.

Your system should already make a sound; I think it's on the Fob, not the car though...
It's been a while since I used my Steelmate Alarm, though.
