Dying alarm noise help needed

[CrewOVtwo]

We've just got back home from our umpteenth trip this year and the strangest noise has started happening - like the last death throws of a duck being throttled.
It is irregular so far - never happened before, but has happened 5 times in the last hour. It lasts no longer than 2 seconds.
Our alarm has never worked since we purchased the van about 10 months ago (2nd hand), although a red led used to light up until we took the batteries out of it.
I'm going to attempt to post a picture of what I think the noise is coming from.
Hang on and pray if you have a faith.........

Wow. It worked.
It's that black looking thingy I'm almost sure.
No power to the van .
Battery off.

There could be a dying battery in, or near, to the object making the noise.

The main battery in the caravan is fully charged.
Other than the two AAA batteries we took out of the alarm sensor that had the red LED light in, I don't know of any other batteries at all.
It hasn't made a sound for over 2 hours now, so I'm hoping it won't bother us again.
It due in for its service in 3 weeks so I'll point it out to them. Thanks 👍

It's not unusual for alarm sirens to have their own rechargeable battery as a protection against tampering with the alarm wiring - it's possible that's dying, perhaps because you've disabled other parts of the alarm.
