Default Swapping sirens

I have a Viper alarm but I hate the siren, because it sounds like everyone elses. I want something that chirps different (don't care if you think it's ghey), and sounds off different, maybe something sounding like this: http://slideshowresource.real.com/au..._c/alarm03.wav

I searched Ebay and Google but can't listen to any of those sirens, don't know which one to get. Any suggestions?

Is the chirp a function of the alarm or the siren?

Just asking, b/c if it is the alarm, then it won't matter what siren you buy.

You can program the aarm so it doesn't play certain tones. For example, you can make it not play the first two tones so when it goes off the first thing you hear is the third tone. Also I'd just recommend adding more sirens. They make a piezo siren that goes in the car. And I think this would be the best theft deterrent because is is litterally painful to listen to.

I believe it turns the siren on and off very rapidly, so if you get a siren with a different tone, your chirps will sound different too.

My alarm manual says the "dealer can eliminate some of the 6 tones". ---- the dealer. Anyone have a how-to on how to eliminate some of the tones?

edit, in case anyone searches for this later, you have to disassemble the siren. There are 6 loops on the circuit board. Cutting any one of the loops deletes the tone associated with it. The chirps will be dependant on which tone comes first in your sequence.
