Keyfob door lock alarm/horn sound... is that really it?
I'm about a month into ownership and like the Defender more every day. My one (very minor) complaint is the pathetic half-horn "honk" that it makes after double-clicking the lock on the key fob. It's such a puny sound for something with the name Defender. Why couldn't they have made it one of those cool BMW-style "chirps" or even a simple beep?
That's it from me today. Back to driving!

Yeah, I'm on the other end of the love/hate spectrum. Any time someone locks their door and there's a LOUD honk, it peeves me. Especially as I go to/from my car next to theirs and get honked at. So I HATE audible signals, but they are the most effective way to let you know it's actually locked. So I prefer a low click, beep, snort, honk. I'll admit that this one sounds like someone honking a horn on a large wheel bike, but I was so pleased that it was subtle that I didn't think of the tone of it. If there are other (low volume) "manly" sounds out there, sign me up! But for now, I'll just take subtle and am very content.

The rear door is locked but if you have the fob in a pocket, it will open up. try locking the doors place the fob in the house and then try opening the back door, you will notice it is locked.
Also the horn is much louder if someone is trying to get into the car. I was installing my mudflaps with a locked door. I forget why but I was rocking the car. the alarm system went off and the horn was pretty loud.
