  1. OMG! Mine just started! Have no smoke or co2 detectors but have an alarm…battery? It’s making me cray cray!

  2. I also have a beeping noise. I thought it was the heat alarm battery. The electrician changed it. It was ok for a day then it started again. Electrician came and fitted brand new alarm but still the beep went on. He disarmed the alarm but still it beeped. He is baffled so now I’m looking in cupboards to see if it’s something with a battery. It’s worse for you as it’s upsetting your little dog. My cat’s not bothered. I am though. Good luck!

    1. Did you ever figure this out? Same thing here…exactly. And I have a 100 pound dog wrapped around me, trembling. No clue what else to try; we already took the batteries out of everything we could think of. And my smoke detector has battery out and it’s not the problem.

  3. So I too have a constant beep. It seems to be in the living room somewhere but I can’t find it. It is just me and the dog here. Do I call the fire department or an electrician? Thank you for your help!

  4. I’m having the exact same problem I’ve replaced every fire alarm in the house twice. It seems to be coming from inside the ceiling. Unfortunately it’s in my sons room so he’s been sleeping on the sofa for months now because we can’t seem to get it to stop. I called the fire department as well they couldn’t do anything. I don’t know what else to try am at wits end

  5. I had the same beeping problem in my apartment. I found it to be the Thermostat. It has a label saying "Replace Battery". So I put 1 and 2 together. Now no more beeps

  6. Brenda….WHERE ARE YOU? Are you okay. I thought I hadn't seen a post for awhile. I hope you are okay. xo

  7. Oh I feel your pain Brenda. I recently had the same thing happen and it turned out to be both the downstairs smoke detector as well as the battery for the Verizon master box. The smoke detector had the battery replaced and yet still beeped. Wound up that b/c it was also hard wired, I had to replace the unit. FYI, you can only replace with the same manufacturer as they don't 'talk to each other' otherwise. The FIOS battery, which thank goodness, was under warranty, was shipped out, and finally, after two very long weeks, we had a beep free house. Those beeps are soooo annoying! Hope you find the culprit soon.

  8. How about a CO2 detector…somewhere? Furnace room? Attic? Battery in your cordless phone??? Water heater?? Garbage disposal? (Reaching with that one, sorry.) Oven?? Microwave?

    Or…could it possibly be outside, and not even yours?

  9. How annoying! I hope you've figured out the problem by now. I blew out the electricity in my living room yesterday. Not sure what I'll do about that. I can't afford a electrician right now. It's always something…isn't it?

  10. I would say it is a low battery of some sort, do you have an attic or crawl space? Previous owners might have put one in an out of the way place. Also a phone battery will beep incessantly. I know how annoying that could be. Hope it gets resolved.

  11. Oh I had a funny story I forgot to add…..a few months ago I kept hearing a faint playing of Happy Birthday to you, over and over, for the life of me I couldn't find what it was. Then one day while clearing out some upper cabinets in the kitchen I found the culprit, a single birthday candle that somehow turned itself on and played the familiar tune lol.

  12. I don't know if it's been mentioned but how about your camera batteries or the TV remote control or garage remote control if you have one? Cell phone or portable phone? Answering machine? Something on your laptop? Something on the TV cable box? Hope you find it soon it would drive me crazy too!

  13. I had a mysterious beep for days. It was a stopwatch. I don't know how to make it stop, but it does not make me crazy anymore.

  14. This is exactly what was happening here a few weeks ago. I got the fire alarms even chaged the batteries. It was coming from my kitchen. Took me several weeks. It was my floor! This one spot if I stepped on it there was a beep! Crazy thing it is now gone!

  15. Brenda, no answers from me, ah I feel for you and Abi. When we lived in the condo I could hear the neighbors smoke detector going off and randomly beeping…yes I have really good hearing…
    It would drive me bananas so I can sympathize. I hope that you find it soon.

    PS, now your blog isn't updating in my blog roll…this is starting to not be funny anymore.

  16. I once had a beeping issue and the culprit was a stopwatch/timer that had gotten lost, but was still in some sort of mode that kept it going off intermittently. Obviously when it was found it was like the best day on earth! 🙂

  17. First thing I thought of was what Balisha said – carbon monoxide detector?

    Hope someone helps you from the good ideas above.

    Keep Calm and Beep On – oops I mean OFFFFFFFF

    Hope you find it soon. Poor pootch.

  18. Do you have a security system? Our battery pack that goes with the security system has beeped before to tell us it's time to change it. Our fridge also beeps if everything isn't closed securely. We've also had random beeps from the smoke detectors. Like you…we've had random beeps that we never figured out but they never went on like yours has! I feel for you.

  19. We had a beeping early one morning. After checking everything and the smoke detectors…we called the fire dept. They checked the detectors again and thought we should get new ones.(ours were only two years old) They came and installed new ones…still the beeping. Come to find out it was the carbon monoxide detector that was sitting on the shelf.
    I should add this…the fire dept. sent two trucks..one a hook and ladder…Firemen in fire gear. and an ambulance. We called the non emergency # and the firemen told us it's standard procedure to send them out this way. They told us not to be embarrassed…that's what they are there for.

  20. CORDLESS PHONE! That happened to me, is still happening to me, cause one of my cordless phones won't hold a charge anymore. It beeps about once every hour and a half or so. Now I switch the batteries between phones when I hear the beep. A normal person would just throw the phone away… I blame it on the beeping I heard for two straight weeks before I discovered the cause. Hope it's as simple for you. If it isn't, let me know cause my FB friends threw out dozens of suggestions and I can go hunt them down for ya. Here's hoping you have a beepless future!

  21. laptop battery or cell phone are the beeps that come to mind? I usually use an ac outlet for laptop but sometimes when I unplug I don't always turn off computer and then it beeps when battery gets low? Cell phone too when messages haven't been deleted or saved? Good Luck! Jeannette

  22. iT COULD BE YOUR CELL PHONE…letting you know you have a message waiting or your battery is low…or even your tv remote battery…hope this helps! Carol

  23. do you only have ONE smoke detector? I had 4 in my last house and one was "hot wired" while the other 3 had batteries. I too was going crazy with random beeping. Researched the old internet and found the culprit, the "wired" one was fried. Once I replaced it, the beeping ceased. And yes, my "smart" thermostat beeps also when the battery is low.

  24. I was wondering the same as the other commenter did…if one of the photographers left something behind such as a phone of something. ( since it is happening right after they left )

    it's GOT to be frustrating as heck and especially because it is driving the poor dog crazy too 🙁

  25. Could there possibly be a smoke detector in the attic that's beeping? That happened to a friend of mine once. Very frustrating, to say the least. Also, check your a/c thermostat. Those sometimes beep when it's time to change the battery. Good luck!!

  26. Ah so frustrating! Sometmes electronic keychains and small toys beep. We had something beeping recently and it was a toy buried in a drawer. So hard to pinpiont those little things!! The weird thing was how loud it sounded for being so small. I sure hope it stops or you find it soon!!!

  27. Do you think the magazine photographers left something behind? A camera, cell phone, or watch. Just trying to eliminate the possibilities with you. I have a terrier too!

  28. I think you need to call "THE BEEP BUSTERS'"!!! LOL I know it's not funny but to hear you tell it, it is. The idea of the filter on refridge is something I hadn't thought about. The newer ones have to be changed. Have you ever changed yours?

    Sorry, I'm not much help.

    Judy

  29. If you have a digital thermostat for your heating and air, it could be that, telling you it's time to change the filter or the battery.

  30. could be your fridge telling you its time to change the filter cartridge on your water/ice dispensor – if you have a sump pump with a battery back-up – could be that the battery is getting low…I know how frustrating something like that can be…if I think of anything else I will be sure and share it
