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

Hi! Worked out the source of the beeping. My Alexa was still plugged in and I forgot I had set alerts and alarms to sound through my Alexa when it’s on, the beeping was an alarm alerting me to wake up and take the bins out as it was bin day! I only realised what it was when it happened again the day after sounding an alarm reminding me about something 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ how could I forget! Thanks for all your suggestions though ladies. Note ti self-keep Alexa turned off at night 🙂

Hooray! Thank you for updating us OP.Grin

That's actually a genius idea, and I will try that.

But I will remember what I set it for Grin

Do you have any old style telephones plugged into a socket somewhere? I had one do similar years ago when the handset wasn't replaced properly
