What does the 'Alarm' trap do? I set it off while opening a chest at the Umpani Base Camp but nothing seems to happen. I would have thought from the name that some guards would come and beat me up.

Thanks.

Ya got me!! I've set it off a dozen times and every time I half expect half an army to show up in the room and whack me but nothing has actually happened, I don't think it even affected my relations with any of the parties / NPC's...

I don't think it actually does anything

AFAIK it casts sonic boom.
When friendly NPCs are around, this may aggravate them, and start combat.
(It happened once to me that Sparkle attacked me)
