    This is an integrated security feature by Sony for its expensive / top range series. As you are the legitimate owner, you only need to register your TZ with Sony to deactivate the reminder alarm.

    If your TZ is accessed by unauthorised person, it will emit a very loud police siren to draw attention and even discharge its battery fully to give that person an awesome electric-shock.

    ------------Above is only a joke-----------------

    Open your "Windows Calendar" to delete and disable all reminder alarms.

    It seems that the "church bell" alarm has another cause, besides the Windows Calendar.

    ("Church bells" in every 15 mins certainly calls for urgent "worships".)

    Any notebook-clergy out there who can solve this ?
