2013 XF Alarm Not Chirping

The alarm chirp on my 2013 XF does not sound when locking/unlocking the doors, or when the alarm is triggered. The alarm apparently works as evident by the flashing lights...but no sound. I am interested in any recommendations

Do you get audio/ siren when you set off your alarm? I don’t not sure what I need to do?

I haven't tried that. I suppose I could lock the car using the fob and then open the door and see what happens.

On both of my old XFS and XFR the alarm was the horn(s) blasting away about once a second.
The easiest way to trigger the alarm is to put a window down, lock the car then reach in through the open window.
