Many alarms have a mercury tilt switch for motion detection, and if it is set too sensitively, a good gust of wind can set it off.
You need to adjust its sensitivity setting.

The alarm tripping is often caused by a bad door or hood switch. Since the hood switch is always exposed to water and corrosion, that one usually goes bad first. Check that out. And no, you can't disable it.
I had an issue with an Aveo that would do the same thing... what I did to correct that problem was to diagnose all the alarm switch's.
I took all door switch off inspected them they looked fine I then check the hood switch and when I took it off I noticed it was corroded inside since I changed it the alarm never came on again.
there is a hood switch located at front passenger side under hood. check to make sure the plunger at hood is pushing the switch completely down. sometimes there may be just enough clearance that a strong wind will set the alarm off.
Seems like a problem with the Alarm. First disconnect the Alarm and if problem still persists then will have to trace step by step for a loose connection or relay malfunction.
