klaar, late reply but as Pelican has pointed out the Siren is on the back door. Cat has various models (dB) available and some new ones are much more directional. My first 246B was incredibly loud (for what reason I don't know). I went to Cat and got a lower dB one that was still acceptable for that machine.
At the end end of the day the operator has responsiblity to take "all due reasonable care" for the hazards presented. If the manufacturer puts a safety device on a machine then messing with it will probably not be "due care".
I always tell the SWMBO that if I die (for whatever reason) to go and get the skid and run over me and park on top......she'll get more payout if I die cause of the machine
