Unusual Alarm?

Have had this 1999 windsor since new and never heard this alarm and can find nothing wrong. It is an on and off loud beep coming from the radio

speaker in the rear bedroom. Radio on or off makes no difference - engine on or off no difference. First time it ever happened. any ideas?

Where the sound is comming from can be very deceptive. If it is a loud beep about every 15 seconds, change the smoke detector battery.

thanks for the reply - i had the smoke detector out and dead and it was still beeping. I also disabled the co detector. is there another detector I am unaware of?

There should be a propane gas detector also. If my house batteries are low then I get beeps from my detectors.

Just had an identical beeping sound in our coach last night, started actually a couple of nights ago, spread out over time but thought the same as with smoke detectors, LP detectors, etc.. Well this thing finally kept beeping every 5 minutes and woke us up at 3am. Finally found the sound coming from the front AC ceiling unit and still could not stop the intermittent beeping. Turned off/on the circuit breaker with no effect.

Started tearing into the carrier ac manual and in fine print saw a reset to the remote control unit on the wall. Said to stick a small device in the reset hole and power up. BEEPING IS GONE! Don't know if you have a rear bedroom ac unit but if so, you might try it.

Good luck and hope you don't deal with this some morning at 3am!

About 2 months ago, I got up in the morning, went into the living room and turned on the TV to watch the news. I was sitting in my chair and heard a beeping noise and then it stopped. I got up to try to find it and could not locate the source. I checked all the alarms and batteries and nothing. This went on every morning, it got to the point it was driving me crazy (didn't have to drive far). By the time I got up to locate the beeping, it stopped, 5 beeps then nothing again until the next morning.

Usually, I get up first and my DW follows about 45 minutes to 1 hour later. One morning, she got up with me and yes, the beeping went off again. I said this is driving me nuts, she said, it's the new coffee maker, it beeps 5 times to let you know the coffee is done!
