Weird noise coming from the smoke detector

[g0a5r4r3e1t3t6]

The battery is dead 

[Videogamer52100]

It sounds like it needs a new battery.

[Videogamer52100]

I think it's a firex 538b with battery backup because I have these

[betjl31]

it means the batteries need to b changed

[ramyramram234]

Change the batteries



[ilovepolice1]

battery needs replacing

[flippers229]

Maybe its died? Like goodbye

[shoopdawhoop351]

It means the battery is low...but if it was low, it would probably beeb every 3 minutes and not every 5 seconds. Strange..........

Though this video is over a year old, I would recommend replacing this alarm if you haven't done so already, It appears to be a FireX ionization smoke alarm, which is powered by 110 VAC only, there is no battery for these, they also have a bad habit of the electric buzzer inside going bad.

It needs a new 9V battery.

[mattdubbaewe]

You could perhaps try twisting the detector and removing the likely 9-volt battery from inside and replacing it with a new one. It is also possible the piezo buzzer inside the detector is damaged, but that is highly less likely and far less trivial to fix.

@mattdubbaewe actually judging by the sound of this this detecotr uses a squealer horn.

[ilovepolice1]

@mattdubbaewe No, it's a squealer horn made by Edwards.

sounds like my cat when she's hungry lol

[rubberduckiesquack]

@WindowsFan1 that's exactly what i thought, it sounded like a cat

[phillies4100]

That is a battery

[TssCman123]

It usually does that but louder when the battery is going dead. When it does that quiet, it means the battery is almost dead.

[11mrewan]

its is saying the battery is flat but there is not enogh battery to say right

[hyperbaricchicken101]

It's running low.

[jro9001]

mine dose that after a month with a battery in it

[cheetahmikey]

Looks like a Firex ionization type alarm. Try vacuuming it off and replacing the battery if it has one. Some alarms like that are wired to the house and do not have a battery. If it still does that it probably needs to be replaced.
