Why does a car horn automatically sound several times in the middle of the night?

The reason why a car horn automatically sounds in the middle of the night is due to the activation of the vehicle's anti-theft system, which triggers the anti-theft horn alarm. A common cause is that the sensitivity of the anti-theft device is set too high. When it is confirmed that there is no risk of theft, and there are no moving people, animals, or objects inside the vehicle, the sensitivity can be adjusted lower. Another reason is that there may be an issue with the components or wiring of the anti-theft device, leading to a system error that triggers the alarm. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly visit a repair facility for an electrical system inspection to identify the problem before proceeding with repairs or replacements. Additionally, a car alarm disturbing the peace is equivalent to noise pollution in daily life. According to regulations, this is managed by public security authorities. Under Article 58 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Administrative Penalties for Public Security, violating laws and regulations on the prevention and control of noise pollution in social life and creating noise that interferes with others' normal lives may result in a warning. If the warning is not heeded, a fine ranging from 200 to 500 yuan may be imposed.
