Panic alarm not sounding

I purchased a 2016 forte back in march. Well last weekend i was going to scare my son by pressing the panic button on the key fob. It did not work. The whole time I have had it when you press the door lock button on the fob twice the horn doesnt honk. I am wondering if the gps tracker that the dealership put on it would cause the problem? Would really like to know why it doesn't work. Thanks for any suggestions as to if that might be the problem or if it could be something else. This is the tracker.

On my 17, there's a pissy little horn on the passenger side of the engine towards the firewall. THAT horn is the panic alarm on my car. It SUCKS. It's also the one that sounds off when I lock the doors with my keyfob. I'm thinking about replacing it with a louder horn, but since my neighborhood is safe, I don't really see the point. Maybe just check the harness going to that horn and see if it's unplugged.
