Loud alarm going off constantly

Sent to Harborough District Council and Leicestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2345874.
A green cabinet in the corner of the car park opposite Homebase makes a constant alarm noise for hours at a time, very easily heard in my house.
It seems like someone resets it every now and then so someone is aware of it. It was going for a couple of hours this morning, stopped for an hour and is now going again.

The cabinet is not on council-owned land, however some days later someone from the Environment Agency went to take a look. The alarm was not sounding, but I've since learned it's intermittent do constant, no obvious pattern.

I've just closed it off (I was hoping it would start when the EA person was nearby).

This alarm is currently almost constant. I have contacted the owners and they seem to be acting, but no updates since they said they would contact the retail park management.
I have thought about the council's response that it isn't their problem as it is on private land. Does that mean I can set up an air raid siren in my garden and the council won't act if I set it off at random times? The noise is in a public area and I can clearly hear it in my living room. It sounds like I have tinnitus.
