Fausto Rindón @Metarapist I had no idea this dead smoke detector battery thing has been a known phenomenon for probably decades. 2013 blog: The Sound of Urban Poverty. Posted on March 11, 2013 by caroline center : Over the years I have visited many Baltimore inner city homes to interview the residents about their life and work, their hopes and dreams. They are members of the urban poor: the un- and underemployed, as well as those who - despite the fact that they work full time and then some - do not make a living wage and struggle to make ends meet. It doesn't matter what time of the month or year I visit, whether it's the East side or West side, public or private housing, upon entering each residence, I am always greeted by the same persister sound: the plaintive chirp of a smoke detector whose batteries need replacing. It accompanies us as we settle 3:52 AM Jun 6, 2023 19.7K Views

When DC public schools moved to 'online learning? teachers heard so many smoke alarms chirping in students' homes that the DC Fire Department launched a public outreach initiative to residents showing them how to change the batteries

ReStation @St1Station Can't believe I missed this, from 2020. When DC public schools moved to 'online learning, teachers heard so many smoke alarms chirping in students' homes that the DC Fire Department launched a public outreach initiative to residents showing them how to change the batteries. And while the teachers heard it, the parents and students at the homes seemed so accustomed to the incessant noise that they didn't notice it.

"The sound, it... soothes them.."

HowlingMutant @Howlingmutant Getting cornered by a group of aggressive black teens on the train and almost getting my ass kicked but holding my phone high above my head and playing a recording of a low battery smoke alarm chirp and explaining to the passenger next to me that "The sound, it... soothes them.." 1:38 PM - May 18, 2023 123.7K Views .
