Red face Alarm flash no sound

So my alarm works if i press the panic button or open the door from the inside while armed but it doesnt make any sound. The normal horn works but not the alarm one, I read online that it is fairly simple to do, by the front passenger tire as far as i remember? My question is what part do i search for on eBay and is there any after market alarm horns that will fit that will well sound better then the original one. I have a 2004 c230 sedan. Thanks!!

Just buy the original siren. Aftermarket sirens don't usually work.

Also you NEED A SECURITY TORX SET to remove the siren. The siren should be under the drivers side wheel well, beneath the covering (at least that's where it was when I replaced it on my CLK). If you can't remove the torx, then try to mount the horn somewhere else. I had to do that, and I found an ingenious spot under the fender.

Okay so you agree that it's just the siren correct. Is that a typical part to fail?
