What the actual eff

[candycrush789]

Me and my daughter was awoken to a LOUD condescending beeping noise. Like duh duh duh duh duh da da da da if that makes sense 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve checked all the smoke alarms, carbon dioxide detector things and all good. The kids are older now so they don’t have any musical toys. I literally have no explanation. AIBU to move out out 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

in all seriousness has anyone else ever had this?…been living here 2 years this august and hasn’t happened at all before now

It will be a timer on an iPad or other electronic device.

This happened to me.
Turns out that when it’s foggy the foghorns are warning ships .
l’d never lived so close to the sea before😂

I know it’s a typo but I love the idea of a smoke alarm running out of batteries in a condescending manner.

I don’t think you mean condescending.

Do you mean it gets louder? Or it stays the same?

Sorry it gets louder 😂 my tired eyes! It’s not a device or a iPad etc it was loud, like it was coming from my house if that makes sense 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I don’t live near the sea 🤷🏻‍♀️

A really old alarm clock you've forgotten about?

i didn't know sound could be condescending!

Do you have neighbours - could it be their alarm clock?

Carbón monoxide alarm?

Was it definitely inside and not a vehicle reversing outside?

Do you have a burglar alarm? If so, it could be that the back up battery is running out of power. Mine does this and makes the most terrible racket until I sort it.

No I have no clocks, no alarms clocks, it could be the neighbours alarm I shall ask them soon but I’ve checked everything and I’m baffled…🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

@Ponoka7 inside for sure. Sounded like my living room but there’s nothing on in there. We turn off all electrics at night so I’m so confused and have no idea

Oven timer? I've accidentally set mine when cleaning the front of my oven.

Our carbon monoxide detector self tests every now and then! and it is bloody loud. Try pressing the test button and see if it sounds the same.

Otherwise get out. You've got an angry ghost 😱

Is the fridge door closed properly?

Was it beeping like ‘well of course if that’s the best you can do then well done you, not everyone has the same abilities. I mean I find it easy to rewire a nuclear sub, but I appreciate we’re all different.’

One early morning recently, I could hear the distant sound of a Christmas carol being played at a slowed down speed (just the sort of thing in a horror film!). I eventually tracked it down to my elderly mother's display cabinet. There was a little christmas angel ornament that hasn't worked for years (and she never moves), that had decided to have a last little sing!
Sorry, no help at all!

Condescending? It's probably from Surrey 😉

Does it stop? After how long? Does it start at the same time?
Is it louder in one room?
Loft empty? Cupboards empty?
Ask someone to be there next time it does off.

Are you on a pre payment meter? I can hear my neighbours meter beeping when they're running out of credit

@DanaScully53 I was afraid of somebody saying this 😩😩 ffs 😂

no my oven doesn’t have timers, it was loud enough to wake my daughter who would sleep through an earthquake 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve done a search of the house and I find no reason for this beeping.

im moving out

Sorry but I really just want to address “condescending”. WTF? 🤣 😂 How can an alarm be insulting/patronising - which is what condescending means?! What did you think the word means OP? 😂
