Low battery....
You can buy #12 shot for that.
My father who was an electrical engineer. Set off bug bombs in his house thinking that chirp was an insect. He never lived that one down.
That's hilarious....
I was outside and heard a chirping, started wandering listening, thinking it was a septic alarm. Checked one neighbor, went down to the next neighbor, she’s 88 and lives alone. Sure nuff it was coming from her place. I headed for her control box to manually cycle it and realized the chirp was coming from her bushes??? So I hunted around and found a smoke alarm down in a bush. It had started chirping and she didn’t know how to shut it off 😂
I would go in peoples houses when I worked for the phone company and hear smoke alarms chirping. Drives me crazy. Apparently some people let them go forever and dont mind.
The worst part is standing there for a half an hour trying to determine which of the six smoke detectors is the culprit.
I had to replace one of mine this fall. I went with the combo CO and smoke with the 10 year battery I think it was around 35-40 bucks.
