Being the responsible parents we are, we have Carbon Monoxide alarms in the house, because hey, it’s what you do. Right?
Of course, they have never gone off (knock wood), so you do tend to forget that they exist at all.
Well, yesterday one of those alarms decided that it needed to really remind us that it exists, and that it’s been ten years since we activated it. Because it’s now time to replace it.
Of course, nobody was home - except for the dog. Who is now traumatized by that beeping hell-box that suddenly decided that it was a good idea to tell everybody out of the blue that it needs replacing - at 95dB, just to make sure.
Kidde - I’m sure you could at least start out with just a mild chirp, instead of going full “the bark collar from hell” crazy. No?
@torvalds Wow. My dad once swore that he had a cricket in the hall but couldn't chase it down. It took him a week to realize that it was the CO alarm box. At 95 dB, he had known sooner :)
@charlykuehnast @torvalds My wife and I had the same. We wondered for weeks where the beep every once in a while comes from. Until we realized it was the smoke detector in the hallway which wanted a new battery. 
@Marco @charlykuehnast @torvalds I couldn't sleep from that beep. So it didn't take more than 10 minutes to remove it from the ceiling, and remove the battery. Of course I had no spare battery lying around.
