Fire Alarm help

OK, I give. We had a fire alarm that decided it needed to chirp every 2 min for eternity. Changed the battery, still chirped. Changed the battery again, still chirps. Checked all the wires, still chirps. Throw it away and buy a new one. It begin to chirp. WTH? Change the battery and it still chirps? Take it off, return it and buy a more expensive nicer model (detects everything) and install it. No chirp!
Until this morning!
Now it's chirping.
Someone please help. I am at a loss. I have tried the silence button everything. And it's still chirping.
Any ideas, suggestions hell, anything at all would be a help!

still dont know why , but now i change all at once when the time changes.
What is the date of manufacture stamped on the back?
Make & model?
10 year sealed model?
What do you burn in your house? Wood? Coal? Pellets?
What type batteries do you use? Date stamped on batteries?

If you have something like this: the odd colored wire interconnects all alarms together.
Over time very small dust particle will accumulate in the chamber and thus having an affect on the eye and set it off. Some computer air in the can and a few puffs of air will clean it out. Of course if the detector has a expiration date, change it out.[:)]
Did U not read the OP through??
He DID change it,MORE THAN ONCE...
One more thing, if it is close to a ac/furnace filter intake, it may be an indicator of dirty filters. Been there, done that before. Many possible scenarios.

My fire alarm picks up Russian chatter. If you put your ear to your alarm and hear mariachi music please let me know.
One of mine has a tiny lens and an antenna in it.
Should I be worried?????
It was a bum unit. sealed battery was dead.
New unit (diff mfg)
thx for the tips.
