Check the rule for the doorbell in the mode(s), and make sure that Activate Siren isn't selected.

If you disarm it, does the problem stop?

Yes it stops and works fine for a day or 2 then the siren will activate at any time of day on night with out any reason

Although painful, I think the next step is to try a reset of the doorbell.  https://kb.arlo.com/000062346/How-do-I-reset-my-Arlo-Essential-Video-Doorbell
