Default Alarm keeps going off regularly -quick fix to silence it needed

Just noticed this starting today, the alarm goes off for a short time, maybe 30 seconds then stops. A bit later it goes off again!
A VCDS scan doesn't show much exciting EXCEPT low internal voltage (dying battery inside as ever) and (probably more relevant) 49-10 No Communications - Intermittent

Any thoughts on what might be causing it and is there a quick way of silencing it, short of dismantling the boot liner and pulling its connector off! It's a bit of a pig to get to so I'd rather avoid that for now if possible.

It's not the original bulky square alarm module, it's the slightly later but compatible rectangular version that might even have been from another Audi model.
