Car door locks...but alarm not activated??

i just notice this problem today. usually when i hit the lock button twice on my key fob, the door would lock and i would hear a beep noise that activate the car alarm.

i have the car factory alarm and just notice the problem today. i check to make sure all doors, trunk, and hood is closed.

anyone know why my alarm is not activating? or doesnt make the beep noise when i hit the lock button twice on the key fob?

thanks
i have a 2004 3g tl auto if that is any help

and the beep (chirp) is just a confirmation. Once doors are locked, the alarm is activated. To test open door, push in the sensor with your hand lock doors with remote and let go of the door sensor. Alarm will go off.
