The alarm speaker is located on the side rear bumper bracket. Maybe it got wet or something is pressed against the speaker and causing that "buzzing tinny" sound?

I think it's on the passenger side. No need to remove the tire. However, you need to remove the bumper. There's a rear bumper DIY from member andy545 (I think) that's pretty good.
