A month? Holy hell if it beeps every 60 seconds I’d be going door to door. I’m sure other people in the neighborhood would be happy to help.

Allow me to introduce the 9V battery.

I would have gone in their yard to take care of it myself

Do people not understand all you need to do is remove the battery from the alarm and disconnect it from any power cables to make it stop beeping

Why would this be on a post rather than at the neighbour's house? Or, god forbid, speaking to them?

Something like that happened to me. A neighbor had the alarm running out of battery so it was beeping every 3 minutes or so. From my apartment this was a very faint noise but it really drove me crazy, my SO couldn't even hear it. Lasted for at least a month, this guy was not at home. Until the firefighters showed up and forced his door and shut the alarm down.

The town home next to ours was abandoned and had the smoke alarm beep every 60s or so. We tried calling the city and they were no help so we broke in and handled it ourselves.

It was a weird system where the smoke detectors were hooked into the security system which was hooked into one of those soda can sized 9v (12v?) batteries in the basement. I guess that battery was dying. Disconnected that and the beeping finally stopped.

That thing might make it to its 5th minute if I were in this position. I sure as hell wouldn't take long enough to make a sign about it, let alone put up with it for a fucking month.

Uhhh...this is my neighbor right now. Dont know which one but its annoying lol.

This is how I feel about windchimes. Take them the fuck inside and put em in front of a fan if you need to hear tinkly sounds all the goddamn time.

I had that in my own apartment. I got used to it so much that I didn't notice it anymor

I've only been in 2 people's houses where the smokr alarm was doing the battery chirp. Like... Get a new battery for it! Or, hell, take the near dead one out so it at least stops beeping. It probably doesn't habe enough juice to actually function in the event of a fire, anyway. At least it doesn't need to be annoying.

Had to do this once at my old apartment. Building next door had some kind of alarm that would beep for 10 minutes straight, stop, then do it again like an hour later. Over and over. Forever. Went on for months. Right outside my bedroom window.

After realizing no one else in either building was going to do something about it I taped a very large, very rude note on the front door of the building calling them out. It was gone within a couple days.

This is what happens when you provide no way for anyone to contact your building's management.

Isn't that some sort of low battery warning? If so, it might stop on its on in a few weeks, worse case scenario.

Dang ceiling pigeons!

Right out of school I got a job working in a shitty retail store where we would prank each other. For some reason there was a smoke detector still in the box that had a dying battery and chipped every few minutes. I would hide it in other worker's aisles in the morning when we would straighten before opening. Fun times

It always happens in the middle of the night, like it's waiting. I tore one of mine off the ceiling and put it in the car, in the garage, so I couldn't hear it. I damn near smashed it, but then I had the idea of putting it in the car.
