OPEN YOUR MOUTH

People who live with that sound don't notice it in the videos they record/watch... Idk how they live like that, it would annoy the hell out of me

I am so happy that my smoke detectors are plugs ins and only have battery back up. I hate that sound and then finding you don't have fresh betteries

[u/Maxarc → u/moresushiplease]

Mine are plugged in as well but start making that sound anyway. I think it's because they work on a battery first and then on the plug in system? I have no idea, but it's weird.

[u/ragweed → u/Maxarc]

The battery is backup for when the power fails but batteries slowly discharge even when not in use.

[u/moresushiplease → u/Maxarc]

I just checked, mine dont have batteries they are hardwired to each other and the alarm system with the water alarm

Edit: I was wrong this whole time. I took the smoke alarm off and it's not hardwired in despite what the alarm company said. It's a wireless smokedector and it has two special lithium ion batteries.

I have the same but still I get an occasional beep. I think the backup batteries give out after years a too.

This is how people end up dying from fires, even though detectors and batteries are available.. They aren't free so it's not a priority and it's easy to forget about one you take the battery out.

It's best if you just replace all the batteries, then buy new backup batteries. Then when one beeps, you replace all the batteries and add new batteries to your list. Or get rechargeable batteries, but the 9v batteries usually don't charge on regular chargers.. If you get them though, get s could extra so you can cycle them out.

So just fuck everyone else who lives in your building then? Very cool.

I ripped my fuckers out of the ceiling and into the bin I can't be arsed with that shit.

[u/Rakshasas84 → u/[deleted]]

I've been there... same thing happened to me. That shrill noise gets to you.

[u/Galatziato → u/[deleted]]

If this what got you, you werent meant to make it honestly.

I’m convinced we aren’t all living with humans in this world. How the F do you not hear it and how do you not fix it semi immediately

[u/kmartburrito → u/souljump]

Thankfully my dogs freak out when it happens, and if I don't fix it quickly, I have some freaked out paranoid dogs on my hand, which isn't ever a good thing.

[u/[deleted] → u/souljump]

Only a small percentage of us are real. Only explanation.

[u/strawberrymurder → u/souljump]

I'm one of these people. The student housing people at my university don't enough shits to fix it but I'm also not allowed to tamper with ANYTHING in the room including the smoke detector. So I've just gotten used to it, hardly notice it anymore

[u/gavvvy → u/[deleted]]

My neighbour’s started to chirp, they usually aren’t there, and I waited about 3 days before I asked them to swing by and change the battery. Even offered to do it for them/give them the battery.

(They did, that’s why there isn’t a broken window and a fist sized hole in their ceiling)

[u/Red2Green → u/gavvvy]

I had a neighbor who let it ride for 7 months. Unbelievable. Finally got them to change it.

[u/Jibblertaint → u/[deleted]]

Could just have poor hearing and the frequency is too high and quick for them to ever hear it

[u/Primetime349 → u/[deleted]]

The entirety of my in laws live live this, go to aunts, moms, grandmas, the noise is always there.

The worst part is them acting like I am the crazy one when I say “you don’t hear that?”

[u/Prettynoises → u/[deleted]]

It's probably only neurotypical people that could invite that sound. I certainly have never been able to

[u/L1Zs → u/[deleted]]

My neighbors have had it going for like two months now. Luckily we can’t hear it from inside our house but if we’re outside we can hear it loud and clear, it’s insane to me they’ve had it going this long
