After not going off all weekend it proceeded to go off at 9PM last
night up until at least 12PM when we went to bed, I've recorded it all
and'll have to take a look at the results tonight.

The alarm in question isn't a neighbours but it's an emergency vehicle
road crossing alarm that is supposed to stop the traffic to allow the
fire engine to cross the 4 lane road, it seems they went out on a call
last night and forgot to turn it off after they had used it. The police
turned up at the end and, although they couldn't switch it off, they
had to signal the people through, prehaps others had complained.

(I did hear alot of road rage type arguments and car horns caused by
the broken alarm, hopefully the mic would have picked that up too)
