Since I've lived in US cities, yes. Almost daily do I hear a car alarm.
Probably just a factor of:
1. More cars around me in the city than in the small town I came from.
2. More things that can set off the alarms (loud motorcycles being a big one).

How do people sleep then, if this is so common?
In Germany, I only ever heard a couple sirens the whole time I lived there, and none directly on my street.
How odd. — I rather value my sleep.
