PROBLEM IS RESOLVED! LET THREAD DIE IN PEACE!

So, Tra La La... Im leaving the gym when I notice this really strange sound echoing across the parking lot, first I thought it was some strange, bird-like creature, making a sick, bird-like sound. Then I figured, it was someones car alarm, only it sounded like the battery was about to go dead because, again, it sounded like a dying bird choking on its own blood ( Im totally serious...)

Lo and behold as I get closer to my car, I find that its the origin of the sound. I was a little freaked...

I figured, "Maybe someone tried to get into my car? But the lights aren't flashing... and that is not what my security alarm sounds like... WTF?!"

So I unlock the car, put the key in the ignition, and start it. The "alarm" doesn't stop immediately, just kind of sputters out...

Then it starts up again in traffic and makes me look like a dumbass...

Anyone have an explanation for this?

Is there a difference in the security alarm and the panic alarm? Is it motion sensitive? How would it go off if a door wasn't opened? (no personal items missing...)

Maybe my car has the swine-flu...
