Default Alarm going off randomly; no locking noise when locking car; red light flashes fast

What should I do? I'm not sure if one of the locks is not registering as closed.
I've attempted to open and close all doors but the alarm still randomly goes off.

Could be something to do with your hood sensor (loose connection, failing sensor, etc.). If you don't know, it's on the passenger side by the cabin filter housing.
