4 Ways to Stop Smoke Alarm Chirping Noise For Good!!

I was woken up at 2 am by a chirping smoke alarm. A smoke detector that chirps means there's an issue that needs to be addressed. Ill show you how to fix a chirping smoke detector but before doing anything, you will need to check your smoke alarm chirp expiry date. You will need to throw out an expired smoke alarm.

I also have a link below of the highest rated smoke and carbon monoxide detector on the market right now. And it's cheaper than you think! All links are from Amazon and are affiliate links which helps my content at no extra cost to you. Thank you!

Thanks, this saved my sanity at 2:30 AM in a rental house.

What I don’t get is how the manufacturers get these things to break at 2:00 a.m., never in the daytime.

One of the most annoying sounds and you were kind enough to share it with us multiple times during your video. So kind of you.

Thank you, friend. I am a single woman who knew nothing about these necessary PIA's - 3:42 AM.

Don't you hate that these videos take forever to actually tell you how to fix anything?

Thank you for your explicit instructions. My smoke alarm went off because of high humidity (experiencing heat wave/storms and lots of rain in Queensland Australia ) and I pressed the button with my mop handle 😂but it still chirped. I watched your video and pressed and held the button in and Voila - it has stopped. I knew it wasn’t the battery as I had an electrician check and replace them about 4 months ago. So thanks for excellent advice.

dude ! Thank you so much ! you are the only video I remember anyone saying to hold the button down for 10 to 20 sec. As you know it is very hard to think with a blaring noise especially if you are not a handy man. After about 15 hours of dealing with that racket and a neurotic dog ! Thanks to you I can finally get some sleep.

I've been through this awful experience more than once. I never even noticed the change date on them, and I thank you very much for the info.

We are in a rental at the beach and I was about to lose my mind. I can’t thank you enough for this very detailed video! I was one chirp away from ripping it off the ceiling and throwing it into the Gulf!

[robertsteinmetz]

Thanks for the tip. I pushed the button like you said to release residual energy and it worked ! That's after pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to stop it from chirping!

Also, a helpful tip. Use energizers not duracell batteries. Duracell battries are actually a little bit shorter then most batteries, so the connections don't quite reach, thus resulting in bad contacts.

just tell us how to turn it off, dont talk nonsense!

[normabarros]

Thank you, you are such a blessing. I was able to take my smoke detector off the wall and use my hair blow dryer on the cool setting to blow out any dirt that's all I had and change the battery. I do not have a date to change the detector out so I have to tell the owner of my building about this.

[meganodonnell]

Thank you so much for this video! Pro tip: this method only works if you correctly identify which smoke detector is chirping 😅

I just bought a new house without alarm. Problem solved.

[KandaJE]

I had 2 chirping every 3 minutes or so this last summer. New batteries didn't solve. Turns out it was the Kalifornastanian forest fires flooding the air here in western Colorado with smoke. Unfortunately my solution of Terminal Shutdown via hammer resulted in needing to purchase a new one... So the expiration date thing is no longer an issue! The new one has an expected shelf life longer than my own currently!

It is 2:30am!! Found your video.God Bless you!

Dude talking way to much get to the point

Thank you sooo much for your help. Mine, in the corridor, started at 4:25 AM and now, I am going to do what you said.🎉❤

[joshwhite]

Thank you for the video. This really helped us at midnight. When the smoke alarm decided it needed a battery change.
