Security alarms used to run for hours & nobody batted an eye lid (the law on such alarms may have changed since)."Its part of the city soundscape, emergency services included". I would supose its probably different in suburban & rural places. Anyway i'd think i would rather have a good lock with a bad alarm than a weak lock with a good alarm "" secured to an imovable object""
