Is anyone up? I'm going INSANE WITH ANGER

Just in case you do call your local council out of hours you will need to have an exact address it's going off at. You can't just say 'i think it's this' or it's on this street, it needs to be 100%. They won't be able to do anything without that info.

Also, many EHOs won't attend in the middle of the night so it is best to call earlier if it starts up again next Wednesday.

I meet the melodic offerings of a suburban he-hen. Then raise you to peacock mating season. One ostensibly mild mannered neighbour telling another neighbour if he didn’t sort it out either him or the bird was going to ‘get fucked’ that night !

SneakyGremlins, perhaps it's not coming from where you think it is then if your friend can't hear it. I'd be tempted to take a walk next time to figure out where its coming from and record it. Keep a diary of when it starts and stops, so if it becomes a pattern you can report it to environmental health.

I thought cockrals were not allowed in residential areas.

There's often a sticker in the window of an alarmed building, with contact details for the alarm company. Might be worth calling to notify/complain (if you do decide to get out of bed to investigate where the noise is coming from).

Sneaky Argh, that sounds horrible! Hope you get some shut eye. (Or a rocket launcher, that'll sort it out.)

Baroness A giant Pikachu you say? I am intrigued...

Well my best friend who lives closer than I do by two streets claims not to hear it

At least if it’s going off at the same time you can inform the environmental people. Or tape it yourself.

You won’t be the only one complaining.

That's an acceptable time though.

Going to try and binge watch a season of Drag Race get some sleep. Not holding out much hope...

Arghh no!! So annoying.

Fire alarm goes off at DS' athletics training at 19:20 every Monday.
Could be.

(I'm off to sleep with the giant Pikachu)

I've just realised something. It's been a week.

Is this going to be a thing every Wednesday????

The reason I didn't go into the business a couple days ago as I was passing is I'm not entirely sure where it's come from, I can just sort of vaguely guesstimate the distance it's coming from if that makes sense? And that distance matches the business which has had an alarm blaring through the day before but I didn't think to record it for comparison purposes.

<googles "industrial use expanding foam near me">

Premier Inn is in the other direction. If I had any spare cash I'd check in for the night!

I do appreciate the company

You could try using the disfigured Quavers?

If the Premier Inn is near the alarm place they ought to provide earplugs .

I keep a tin of expanding foam in case my alarm ever goes rogue in the wee small hours. I will be spraying it in the bell box to hopefully diminish it’s death rattles to tolerable whilst an engineer is summoned.

Last year's holiday was a night in the Premier Inn literally half a mile up the road

I'll be fine, no plans tomorrow so can sleep in. Luckily I have no DC so lie ins are possible!

Ear plugs? Got any airline amenity kits hanging around from last year’s hols that might have some?

Thanks Cat

Zacksnan I hope not

I don't want this to become one of those "Sneaky and the twatface alarms at 1AM part 87⅓" Threads

Could it be more than one?

Bugger that mate @SneakyGremlins. I am doing virtual West Side Story Gang Dance - clicky fingers, side step taps and everything - sending evils to alarm bastards xx

WIBU to trudge out and find where the alarm is coming from in -2 degrees and snow?

Oh for the love of disfigured quavers it's changed TONE like it did last time.

Can security alarms get low batteries?

I know, I tried

Go to sleep with the thought of him trudging through the snow, maybe slipping a couple of times, in his pyjamas and wellies..
