Default What wire is this???

Driver's side front, leading to what appears to be behind the gauge cluster.





It does not appear to be something new, unless its something I wouldn't notice. Only problem I'm having now with the car is minor and unrelated to anything electrical.

Thanks in advance.

No. But since I'm not the original owner, I can't rule out another owner installing one.

Thanks guys. So thats what that thing is, a siren.

Just to confirm, the consensus is I can cut the red wire as well and remove the item to the bottom left (which is attached by the phillips head screw in the pic), correct?
