It's annoying because it's an easy change with my Vag-com on our Audi and on the Cayenne it's a menu item in the cluster.
Wish the Durametric was more robust like the Vag-com

If the horn sounds when locking the car (and arming the alarm), that may mean that one of the doors or hoods is not closed completely (or one of the contacts is not closing properly.)
Not sure if it's a programmable option to ALWAYS have the horn sound upon locking/arming.

You get one beep if the radio connection taken off, glove box open, or center console is open. Many people including myself will push the micro switch out of the way on the center console. This will now give you the signal beep. I promise you on the 04 and older this can NOT be programmed. If you get a double beep you are turning off the interior mostion alarm.
I did lots of searching and asking dealer(s) and indies before I found the center console trick.

If you look down into the latch of the center console you will see a small silver lever. That is the alarm switch. You take a small screwdriver and push the little lever/switch out of the way. Now the alarm will think the center console is always open and you WILL get a beep when you lock the car. Might not be a good solution for a cab but a coupe it works great. If you dont like the results you can always move the little lever back.
