Just thought I would update you guys in case someone else finds this useful in the future. So I couldn't find any replacement black plastic high-spec tilt Volvo siren YWK500050 or YWK 500070. I ended up buying a metal high-spec tilt FoMoCo siren from a Range Rover 6G9N-19G229-DG. Used examples can be found as cheap as £15 on eBay, although it may be worth swapping out the battery for a new one (and perhaps trying to mount the battery externally so it can be easily replaced and doesn't leak acid and fry the circuit board in few years time). I had to modify the old bracket slightly to make the new-style siren fit but it was very straightforward. Alarm system service message has gone and I tested the siren is working by waving my hand inside the cabin with the car locked and window open.

Don't ask me how I did it because I have no idea

Thank you very much for sharing on this forum. The info was very helpful while repairing my wife's 2010 Volvo XC60. When armed, the alarm would go off. I read about the battery issue, but the local independent Volvo repair shop said it was due to drains in the area.
The alarming stopped after I removed the rusted module, 6G9N-19G229-AH, and the vehicle seemed to operate fine. I wanted a new part, but Volvo wanted $343. I found that Ford carries a part for Mustangs, DS7Z-19G229-A, and found a supplier with a good return policy that shipped it for $69.
The new module seems to work great with no false alarms. The only difference is that this module makes a honking sound, instead of a whistling sound when alarming. Just wanted to share. Good luck!
