I wonder how long it takes to make yourself deaf to the chirp? a week? a month? it's a chirp every 40 seconds, 2160 chirps a day.
>>
>>102432800
a major globohomo real-estate company in my country is now rolling out "smoke alarms" that not only beep when there's smoke or high CO concentration, but also constantly measure temperature and humidity, has an optical sensor for some reason and sends diagnostics via wifi.

At this rate it's not going to be long until "smoke alarms" with cameras and microphones are mandatory in every home in Europe.

Do you think nigger brains intercept it as bird whistle, thus filtering it out as background noise?

Idea: Smoke alarms that play classical music when the battery is low.

why is the chirp associated with blacks? Why don't they just take the battery out? I had mine lying in the drawer for a 3 months before I remembered to buy a new one.

>>
>>102432800

My pre-Google Nest detector claimed to out of batteries - it takes 6 AA lithium. Took them bitches out, tested them green, put them back in and the thing didnt have shit to say about it. TLDR its just counting time not the actual battery power - its like laser printers just counting pages and not actually knowing how much toner is left. Fucking scam shit.

What chirp?
>>
I've never heard my smoke detector chirp.
>>
>>102432950
Downstairs neighbor let it go for almost a month. At no point did I become deaf it. It invaded my dreams. it was awful.
She had two kids. after the first couple days we went and asked her about it. she didn't know what we were talking about. Later that day she started fucking around without because it started beeping as if she'd hit the test mode on it. She must have stopped because shortly after it resumed it's 1 per a minute beeping.
It only stopped when we complained to the landlord and he sent her a replacement. I wasn't officially a tenant so I had to wait til someone who was emailed the landlord. I'd have done it after 2 days otherwise.

The answer to your question is yes, yes she was.

>>102432800
It's actually a warning for white people that you're in nigger territory. Exercise caution and leave the area immediately.

The trick is to use a ^decoy^ camera (can be fake, or real but never on, or just real, doesn't matter) and then use a real camera to cover the "blindspots" of the ^decoy^ camera. People will think they're "safe" in the decoy's blindspot, but no.

How difficult would it be to embed cameras into phone/monitor screens, btw?

>>102434120
Smoke/CO detectors are usually legally required to an hero after a set amount of time nowadays, as a measure against people leaving them untouched and untested for decades.
Found out last year when my CO detector started beeping and literally displayed "END" on its screen

Have you changed the batteries on your smoke alarm recently? Mine's been chirping away all night making my fellow merchants from the merchant guild nervous

>>102434409
They 100% can hear it. It's just that they live in the moment, one 15 second interval to the next. The beeping is just long enough to be over that interval. It beeps, they wonder what it is for a few seconds, but because it stops for more than 15 seconds, they forget about it. Then the next beep; oh hey what's that noise? Oh nevermind it's gone now. Beep.
>>
>>102439283
Seems drastic. You didn't try taking it to therapy or giving it some antidepressants first?

There's a beep somewhere outside of my apartment I still hear 5 months after moving in and I've already decided not to renew my lease since I brought it up and people looked at me like I'm crazy. Also the basketball people leave trash in the stairwell and stink up the place with weed.

i just replaced the 9v battery on mine and i dusted it out and cleaned the battery before i put it in and it's still fucking chirping and i can't discharge the battery for a minute because i live in an apartment and there's obviously no option to mute it while i'm discharging the battery this sound is like a fucking bomb going off in my head every time my stress levels are through the roof i feel like i'm getting an equivalent stress dose of a near fatal traffic accident every fucking time this thing is going off please god help me shut this thing the fuck up please lord this sound is the fucking devil
i want to fucking bomb a government building
please god landlord respond to my fucking email you fucking nigger

i have tested it with two new fresh batteries and it still fucking beeps it is still fucking beeping i will murder children indiscriminately if this doesn't cease by midnight

Since I'm white and don't have this issue myself, Loveline was where I first learned about this issue (white trash and Mexicans).
Many a laugh was had as Adam and Drew marveled how anyone could not immediately notice the issue and solve it.
I still yell at people in COD lobbies when I hear it using the basic Carolla mannerisms
>Happens roughly every 45 seconds
>Engineered to emit a beep so annoying at such a decibel that anyone who wasn't a fucking monogoloid retard would immediately get a new battery for it
>low battery is still enough to let it beep for years and years without fully draining
The people who let it beep either can no longer hear it or they actually think it's a normal function of the device and it's supposed to beep.

Amazing
>>
>>102434359
It's mostly a poor (and stupid) thing. See the above Loveline clip where plenty of white-trash and stupid Mexicans also have the same issue.
Too poor to get a new battery so they keep letting it beep forever until they no longer even hear it or the slightly more aware ones just assume the device is supposed to beep. To get racist for a minute most blacks are dumb and poor so they end up with a higher percentage of theirs beeping compared to smarter/richer people.
>>

>>
>>102445137
>Why do these fuckers need to beep every 30 seconds for months when the battery is low?
Because it's been engineered that way to be so annoying that anyone with a basic level of intelligence and 1 dollar for a battery would be compelled to stop it immediately. But unfortunately they didn't consider how fucking stupid a lot of brownoids are.
>>
>>102432800
New ones not only chirp, but announce with a recorded message its time to change battery. Every minute, continually, until the battery is changed. These are now all over in shitholes everywhere.

I always thought the chirp was a shoe or chair leg squeaking on the floor. My fire alarms have always been hooked directly into the power of the house, and they sound like Gilbert Gottfried going "ERT ERT ERT ERT ERT ERT ERT ERT"
