M_Binks. •. The chirp is also associated with smoke detectors which have reached the end of their 10 year service life and require replacement. I think that requirement came in late 1990s/early 2000s, which may help explain part of the reason that this meme seems to have taken off around 2013.
Then_Inspection4173. •. The battery in a smoke detector will lose voltage in the colder hours of the night, causing it to chirp due to low voltage, but as the temperature warms back up during daylight hours it will gain enough voltage to stop the detector from chirping. Experience: I used to do apartment maintenance.
No problem, replaced batteries on this a million times before. However, even after removing the alarm, the spot in the ceiling where the alarm is supposed to go is still chirping. We replaced the battery in the alarm for good measure and reset alarm and reinstalled it into the wires in the ceiling. The chirping didn't stop.

Alarm starting chirping…. Immediately Changed the battery, Chirping STILL happening …WTF, angry, ripped it off the wall. Calmed down, looked it up, need a whole NEW smoke detector unit to stop the chirping. I don’t think some people know that.
If that doesn't work, you can remove them from the source of power including the battery and push the test button until all the capacitors are discharged and put the battery back in. If that doesn't fix it, get a new smoke detector because it's reached end of life. 1. Share.
Smoke alarm beeping won’t cease even after battery replacement! There are four Kidde FireX i4618 smoke alarms upstairs. Three of them have been chirping since last night. All of the batteries have been changed. They did not turn off when the batteries were out and the breaker to the upstairs was turned off.
Reset the Detector: Try resetting the detector by pressing and holding the "Test" button for a few seconds. This can sometimes clear false alarms. Dust or Insects: Dust, insects, or cobwebs inside the detector can trigger false alarms. Gently vacuum or use compressed air to clean the detector vents.
The only solution is to replace whichever one is chirping. Because the chirp is very short it can be difficult to locate but standing in one spot till I hear the chirp, move closer and stand etc till I find it seems to work. Good luck finding yours. Check dates and batteries.
However, I now know that the chirping is not the detector itself but some control in the box. I printed and followed the Kidde instructions for just such a situation: 1. switched off the smoke detector circuit in the main box, 2) removed the detector from the ceiling mount, 3) removed the battery from the detector, 4) pressed the test button ...
