The alarm siren thingy ma bob is located in the boot, behind the nearside light cluster, deep down in the bottom of the well behind the rear wheel, under the CD changer (if you have one) Its an absolute pig to get to as I discovered when mine went off and wouldn't shut up. Best of luck :D

To get to it, remove the plastic strip that runs along the lip of the boot, surrounding the lock receiver. Remove the two LH cargo net loops. Peel off the boot rubber seal, so you can remove the boot side panel. Don’t forget the fixing behind the back of the seat.
With that out the way you should have good access to remove the CD changer, subwoofer and finally the central locking pump. As bakerdcb says, it’s located beneath this in the very bottom of the well.

It's not too bad a job, it just takes time to move all the stuff out of the way, then putting it back again afterwards.

I also had to deal with a siren that wouldn't keep quiet.
