Yes, it is a provincially owned parkade. It is managed by Vinci Parking, so they would be a good one to contact about the issue:

I'm certain it wasn't that loud before or for some reason the majority of people in our office didn't notice it before. Now we can hear it in our office all day every day like a car alarm that keeps going off. It's becoming really annoying trying to work and hearing this thing go off.
We called 311 who suggested a noise complaint.
Checked in on the complaint and was told "sorry, The City of Calgary doesn't have to adhere to bylaws". We asked about having the volume turned down and were told "it's a safety issue, and they don't have to adhere to bylaws, and The City is exempt as well". I then said that yes, I understand, but given I'm many floors up in an office building perhaps the people on the street could still hear it if it was turned down a little. I was then given a bunch of unrelated comparisons like fire trucks going to a fire and emergency road construction to repair a water break at 2:00am. Both of which I found rude and not applicable to what I'm talking about. One is an annoying alarm that could be adjusted to not bother people - the other is a one-time necessity to solve an immediate problem.
311 suggested I call the Downtown Association. I tried that and was helped by some very nice people who suggested that they would try to help out but it very well could just die at the next person they send the request to.
Any other thoughts?
Help us Bunk - you're our only hope... and Bigtime isn't.
