W209 beeping when lock/unlocking car

Need some help! Recently had the alarm changed at the dealership because it was drawing too much power off the battery. Now my car beeps when I lock/unlock the doors. It has never done this in all the 16 years I’ve owned it. I tried looking in all the menus on the steering wheel but cannot find a chime on/off option. Can this be turned off? What did the dealership do? Where do I look to turn this off if not in the steering wheel button menus? Thanks

the new siren design has this security beep option.
you'll know you have locked your car and turn signals flashes 3 times.
it's all solid!

Ok but that’s not how my car came from the factory. They basically installed a new unit and not the unit style my car came with.

I've always loved the silent locking with the flashes of the old MB. My 2009 W211 does the chirp, but it doesn't bother me like the new MBs that honk their horn.

Is it a hardware feature built into the siren or a STAR/Xentry enabled option? My 2006 C55 beeped when locked/unlocked, but my 2005 does not. I'd rather it beep.
