[C320-list] no starting noice

[Scott Thompson]

It could be the alarm itself.  I had to replace mine earlier this year. 
  I think you can find the part number if you search the archives.

Or the oil pressure sensor on the engine could be bad.  (The reason you 
hear the alarm before you start the engine is because there is no oil 
pressure.)  Check to see if the oil pressure warning light comes on.  If 
it does, then the problem is probably the alarm.  If not, then it could 
be the sensor, or the wiring to the sensor, or a bad connection somewhere.

BTW, replacing the alarm was very easy.

Same thing when we turned it off, not the usual "alarm" noise.  It worked fine on Saturday.  A fuse somewhere?  Any ideas?  Thanks.
