Re: Strange Beeping Noise In Living Room

We have powered recliners on our couch, and when the rechargeable battery gets too low it has a faint beep. It drove me nuts trying to figure out what was beeping.

Sounds like a ghost to me!

Our smoke alarms still make noise when the batteries need changing and they are hard wired. Not always, though. My tinnitus is a constant ringing. Good luck with all those gadgets. It affirms my resolve not to have an Alexa or anything else.

You probably eliminated possibility of fire alarm and obviously its electronic. Could be anything electronic including watch, any tablet, any battery operated game, something to do with tv controller, PlayStation etc. We had similar last summer and it was a device. Think outside the box, what's in that room that is plugged in or requires a battery.

It isn’t the smoke alarm because it’s wired into the house and not run on batteries (I live in attached garage apartment).

One of our Comcast device started to make a odd noise once upon a time, it took awhile to fiqure out where the noise was coming from..... when I called Comcast they were immedialtly like "oh yes that means XYZ- we will send someone to fix it."

P.S.- just because your smoke detectors are hard wired into the house does not mean there is not a battery back-up within the unit. Most building codes require it for safety purposes.
Many have lithuim batteries that last a VERY long time 1- becasue they are lithium and 2- because they are only sitting there for back-up purposes.

About smoke alarms...

Hard-wired smoke/fire alarms DO have expiration dates, usually at around 10 years old. Many people think that just b/c their smoke alarm is wired means it's permanent and never needs to be replaced...that is wrong. All smoke alarms expire, wired or not, and it's not just the batteries running out but the device itself...it's the way they are made (their technology) which makes them that way.

Not the smoke detector. Sound is very faint! Smoke alarm manufacturers want a person to be very aware that their batteries need replacing, so they make the sound loud, obvious and unmistakable. Think of the lawsuits they would face if house fires happened because people weren’t aware they should have changed out their batteries.

i have a few that are NOT like that, which is why i suggested checking them. not all of them make loud noises when the battery is beginning to die.

My alarm is very loud, but the battery replacement just is a continuous beep, beep.
