But now I finally was able to get a good nights sleep and Stella too. now she doesn't follow me around anymore. So thank you again. God Bless you always

Thanks a million! I had a long day moving apartments and when finally got around to get some sleep.. the chirping was driving me insane... I have managed to hush it for now.. would look into further later..

One of the best videos I've seen on this topic... still didn't fix my issue, but it was helpful nonetheless. I put in new 9-volts for each hardwired detector, reset each detector, blew out whatever debris might have been in there mucking things up etc. This is how my life typically goes... ha ha ha. I guess I'm in the 5% group. As always. Ha ha.

Thank you from all the 70 year old ladies, who can't climb chairs or ladders anymore, to fix those darn ear piercing smoke detectors, that decide to need a new battery at 2:30 in the morning!! You sure helped showing us that I could push the quiet button with my handy grabber stick! Now I don't have to smack it off the wall!!

Thank you for putting out an excellent video. Only you gave me the information I needed. My smoke alarm info said to change in 2024. However, even after I changed the new batteries it still chirping and didn't talk back. I had to buy new ones to replace, and problem solved.

Thanks for this video, I was looking that solution, now I'm happy at night.

Hey thanks for the hack it worked really well. The beeping started a night and I saw your video and I did what you said and it worked. I was able to sleep at night.

I've been fighting these for two weeks. I couldn't deal with the chirping any more. Changing the battery doesn't work. Resetting doesn't work. I ripped them from the wall.

Thank you so much I have the same smoke detector for 10 hrs it was annoying this helped yes it worked

[jklappenbach]

Who ever designed these things needs to have beeping equipment randomly hidden in their house, four or five times a day, without end until they die. And I hope the last sound they hear before roasting in hell is the chirp of a smoke detector.

Great job. Very useful. Thank you so so much

[dayatemywallet]

Thank you so much! Our landlord replaced brand new ones with brand new batteries and it was still chirping for months!!! I finally hushed it

Edit: even though I hushed it I can still hear chirping in my ears 😭

Whatever you do, just don’t rip it out of the wall. An ADT smoke detector literally just save my entire house from burning down. These do work!!! Praise God it was a small contained fire 🙏

I almost lost my mind! My head ached! thanks

One time at around 4:00 am my smoke detector was chirping only in my bedroom and nowhere else and it woke me up, I did not push the button to try and hush it because I didn’t want to accidentally set off all the fire alarms inside the house and wake up everyone so I had to take it down from the ceiling, I did change the batteries after. There wasn’t any fire danger by taking it off the ceiling
