    Yes that is the internal bell.
    There is also a buzzer inside that panel which could be the issue.

    Those internals are known to make that clicking noise. Could be a battery problem.

    The clicking sounds like a relay and is about two or three clicks per second..Can I disconnect this easily ?

    If you are sure its the relay then you should be able to.
    Also you would need to know what the relay is for, may be the external bell.

    Thanks for all your help. I changed the battery in the control panel as it was the original one. Is there a battery inside the siren/bell as well ?

    Anyway, Thanks again for all the useful information..

    You are welcome.

    In the internal no but external yes, could also be the bell itself causing the issue as it may be connected to a relay in the panel.

    It's very easy to isolate this down. Start by opening the internal siren. There is one screw behind the cover in the centre. If the alarm activates disarm it with your code.
    Remove the +&- connections and see if the noise stops.
    If that doesn't work look into the panel and see if you can see where it's coming from. Maybe post a picture of the inside.
    Have you a multimeter to check the aux power output.?
    It's a regular issue with those systems over time where the rectifier is gone.

    Cheers... would recommend the guy if anyone else looking for engineer. He was very genuine guy and called back when he said he would and was there when he said he would be there... he also explained everything very well and seemed to know his stuff.
