Some advice on a mysterious beeping noise in my house. 19:28 - Jan 11 with 12041 views | DanTheMan | So a few nights ago it sounded like the fire alarm was beeping. Even though the fire alarms are mains powered I replaced the batteries in both and the noise seemed to stop beeping after I tested the alarms. Last night the beeping returned. Took the alarms off again thinking maybe one of them is faulty and the beeping continued. Sounds like it's coming from the hall but there is nothing else electric there other than a light. At around 3am it just stopped beeping. Now it's started again so did the same thing, took the alarms and and stuck them in a completely different room to the sound. Turned the mains off and... Still bloody beeping. Checked the loft, moved the insulation and there's nothing there. Any idea what the fook it could be before I get an emergency callout? I can't have another night's sleep with it going. | |

Wouldn't make sense as the hallway is in the middle of the house although at this point I'd believe anything. | |

IS your loft in the hallway? Could it be Christmas decorations put back up there or something? | |

Anything unusual about your light fitting? I've seen lights with a back up battery function for night lights etc. Sources of weird beeps in my house: Faulty fridge door open alarm Carbon Monoxide battery Neither of those sound helpful though [Post edited 11 Jan 2019 19:35]

Checked that, sounds like it's in the ceiling though which is what is baffling. | |

Some advice on a mysterious beeping noise in my house. on 19:50 - Jan 11 with 4184 views | Plums | Have you got a new cooker hood? Ours beeps very gently when the filters need cleaning and can be hard to pinpoint. Other possibilities: fridge - door not closing properly? Door bell (battery/ battery backup), burglar alarm (battery backup) Edit. Sorry, just realised you said you’d turned the mains off and it continued so it must be a battery. Is there any chance there’s a sonic pest deterrent in the loft? [Post edited 11 Jan 2019 19:52]

Error on alarm panel (if you have one) You could Turn mains power off to check if it's something battery powered or not, I had a extension cord at work that kept making a weird beeping sound | |
