Default Security alarm went off when washing car

I was washing my car this morning. Car was locked and the key was nowhere near the car. I was washing around the driver's handle area when the alarm went off. Was it a vibration triggered alarm or was it simply because I was messing around with the handle when the car was locked? What kind of alarm does our cars come with? There's not much info in the manual.

I turned it off by pressing the button on the fob. The alarm was actually kind of music to my ears. I didn't know Audi makes alarm that's not obnoxiously annoying. It sounded very "high end."
