Default More issues :( alarm is going off more than it should ..s40

My 2009 s40 has developed an annoying habit the last few days of the alarm going off for no reason .. I've activated the reduced guard checked my battery voltage levels and it's still activating ..any ideas .?? I'm hoping it's not the alarm module

If it's left on the alarm could be picking up on a voltage drop.
Time will tell

A WiFi device left in the car will set the alarm off so that will be it.
