    When my smoke detector is low on battery, it lets the whole neighborhood know about it.

    They could design them to be somewhat less annoying. Some people might just be tempted to disable them altogether because of this shit.

      My CO2 detector is the opposite. If it’s running low on batteries it occasionally makes a single blip sound for about one microsecond every 40 minutes.
