As I was sitting here at my laptop early in the evening, I heard something.
Chirp!
Then I heard it again.
Chirp!
I got up and went to investigate.
Chirp!
It sounded like it was coming from the bedroom.
Chirp!
Directly above the bed.
Chirp!
The smoke alarm!
Chirp!
I am going to call building management tomorrow so that they can send someone here from maintenance to replace the battery in the smoke alarm.
Chirp!
I will not be able to sleep in the bedroom with all that incessant chirping!! 
Chirp!

I know it would drive me crazy if I were to try to sleep in the same room with the chirping of the smoke alarm!

I had a mechanical ding somewhere in my house the other day. It sounded like once when I had a battery-operated clock/timer and the batteries ran down. Drove me nuts for weeks until I located it in the drawer, still beeping occasionally.

The thoughtless installers that put my smoke alarms in, put one in the kitchen. It goes off ear-piercingly every time that we cook.
That's even worse than the chirping.
The battery wears out so quickly then too, it needs replacing every 6 months, or so.
It is too hard to change the battery though, you need to be an Einstein to work it out, so I also put up with the chirping every few minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I have even bought two birds I keep in the kitchen now to mask the noise a bit.
See photo of one of my chirpers, my other chirper.

I no longer have to put up with the chirping. The battery has been replaced.
My Grandma Tracy had parakeets. She taught them to say certain words. When I was a little girl, I thought they were so cute .

Not yet. I have called management to have them send someone to replace the battery. Hope they will be here some time today.
