I was surprised to find out when I updated my apex it gave me an alarm tile and has an audible alarm. Figured it was only for the new 25th edition, but mine has it too for those interested.

The audible alarm is for a display. Even though the outlets exist in all models (and always have) they don't do anything unless you also have a display module.

No noise here. I have an EL though.

The head unit doesn't have a speaker...if it's making a noise that's not a good sign.
Only the FMM and display module contain a speaker and the FMM speaker is hard-coded for standalone only use.

ok so it’s not my head unit, it is coming from the FMM module I have. They are right next to each other. Either way with the update it provided a new slider that I did not have before. I’m able to program whatever I want to set off that alarm. If it’s not a new slider from the update, I’m not sure why I didn’t have it before. You can see from the photos below that a new tile was provided, and the function I now have:

That part might be new for the FMM. People have been griping about that for years. Sound was always available in standalone, but they didn't let you use it in programming.
