neighbor's exhaust keeps triggering alarm

Anyone ever dealt with this?

Not sure if the alarm system is stock, or how to tell.
Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity to vibration?
I hear there is.

A neighbor's car triggers it, especially on cold starts. Seems he has a loud aftermarket exhaust, and my truck's the only thing in the car park with a screaming alarm when he turns his car on. Every single time.

 

I had an aftermarket alarm in my old truck that was always going off due to loud motorcycles and exhaust. I had the shop turn down the sensitivity and it worked.

 

What kind of car does he have. I have no solutions just curious.

 

go stuff potatoes in it

 

Banana in the tailpipe,!!!???

 

Expanding foam.

 

I used to love riding my motorcycle through a parking garage when I was younger setting off alarms.....

I haven't done that in awhile.

 

Yeah, and we're not gonna fall for a banana in the tailpipe.

 

Very few factory alarms have shock sensors. Almost all aftermarket alarms have shock sensors. Shock sensors are adjusted with a very small flathead screwdriver. Clockwise is more sensitive. A tiny bit of a turn does a lot of change. Some shock sensors are mounted within the car alarms brain and will have a flathead plastic screw sticking out. Other aftermarket alarms have separate shock sensors. Usually separate shock sensors are zip tied to a thick wire harness or the steering column. The steering column is the worst possible location it could be placed. If the shock sensor is within the the alarms brain you'll be looking for a black box under the driver's dash somewhere. Sometimes you can find them in the left kick panel. You'll know you've accurately set the shock sensor when you can repeatedly lightly kick the front tire and the alarm won't go off but you can hit a side window or the door handle with the side of your fist and the alarm should sound off when properly adjusted. Do not hit your windshield or sheet metal.

There are aftermarket alarms that require a specific procedure using the ignition key, the dome light switch, and the remote control. If that's what you've got, you'll never find a small flathead screw to adjust.
