Its happened twice in the last week or so, car is locked and after walking close by to it the vehicle beeps in sequence. Is this alarm related e.g. over sensitive or something else?

Its not a standard alarm sound just very loud beeping.

    Thanks fellas but no I don't have an aftermarket system, I live on a hill and its quite windy, the vehicle is also parked on an incline. I have removed my air freshener from the coat hook point in the rear as I think this was moving sufficiently to trigger the alarm. This morning it did it again as the sun came over the house hit the interior, before opening the car I could see the air freshener moving. Fingers crossed that's what it was. Its not done it since.
