Default Factory alarm acting up (no sound)

Today I noticed my alarm when you turn it on, and turn it off doesnt make that noise it usually does.

The lights and everything go on and the doors lock and unlock like normal. Panic works, trunk opens.

I think I accidently pressed something or changed something. Does anyone know how to change it back so it makes that little chirp type sound?

This is a factory lock/unlock alarm I'm talking about.

I also tried looking for the owners manual but couldnt find it, Thanks in advance.

Hmmm i think the beeper or whatever you call it is under the hood on the left side somewhere. I know thats where it is on the Solara. Maybe you could check that. My ES dosent beep so im not 100% sure.

Look up underneath the steering wheel and above the pedals. Feel along that lower dash. On my 98 ES3, there is a potentiometer (dial) that lets me select the volume at which the car chirps.

Thanks for the quick response guys...

Everything is fine now.

I must have moved the **** when I was connecting the OBD-II when I set my check engine light off during seafoam
