Is the remote starter also an alarm system or is it the factory alarm going off? The factory shock sensor is known for going bad and causing exactly the symptoms you describe. You can try turning down the sensitivity but often replacing or at least disconnecting the sensor is necessary.

The factory alarm uses the horns but almost all aftermarket alarms have their own sirens. If the horns are blowing then try disconnecting the factory shock sensor and see if the false alarms stop.
i dont see a seperate horn under the hood though.
