This happens to houses in my area all the time. Either the owner is on vacation, or has moved out, but it hasn't sold or the new owner hasn't moved in, and some alarm or other starts going off. Sometimes it's the annoying smoke alarm "replace the battery beep" once per minute. Sometimes it's something more annoying. I usually call the police or fire department and let them know. That's the only way I've found to make it stop.
- brewdad 6y agoHow poorly built are the houses near you if you can hear the "replace the battery" beep from a home that is closed up while an owner is on vacation?

- namdnay 6y agoThe “battery down” beep isn’t usually the same as the alarm in my experience
