If the alarm did not sound with the ignition on and engine stopped, you
would never know if the alarm was working or not. Hearing it is a test
of the alarm circuit.

It is arguably a bad idea to have to leave the ignition on (with the
engine not running) to use accessories. In some cases it can be hard on
some things like electronic ignitions.

If you had a starter switch with an accessory position, you could use
that and wire the stuff like radios and sounders on the accessory
position. Not having that, it sort of looks like your choices would to
either put a switch in the alarm circuit to silence the alarm (not
really a good idea) or upgrade yourself to a starter switch with an
accessory position.
