I assume you have a security control panel located somewhere in your home. Usually the panel will have a sets of contacts/terminals to power a remote siren/sounder device. Usually 12Vdc output on security alarm.
Find the control panel and look on the inside of the door for a wiring diagram layout. You should see a set of terminals that says something like 'interior sounder' and or 'outside sounder'.
If you have such terminals points you may have to buy the unit for that panel number.
Usually the interior sounders install flush in a single gang wall opening.

Thanks for your feedback.

We may be talking about different things. Yes, there is a remote sounder/alarm device (which is VERY loud) that operates if the alarm is tripped.

I'm talking about the built-in speaker that beeps to remind me to turn off the system before the alarm sounds. I've been told by the provider that there's no way within the system to change the beeper's volume. That's why I'm looking for a third-party device.

  Call the provider and ask him if the system can be programed so the interior sounder will beep at the same time the keypad does.
  I did a search on Google and these results came up.

    Thank you for the link, although the discussion there is about a different system.
    
    I've confirmed that there is no way to adjust the volume, and the speaker in the unit is very small. I prefer not going into details on what system I have.
    
    I assume that no one reading this thread knows of a third-party device that can be used to increase the volume of a sound coming from a speaker or other device. If anyone knows of such a device, please let me know.
    
    Thanks,
    Bill

  Do you own the security system?
  Is the system still covered by a manufacture warranty?
  What is the manufacture of the system?
  
  Is this keypad mounted at the front entrance, rear, or garage entrance?
