5 beeps every 45 seconds. I looked it up and it seems like the beeps between the alarm needing to be replaced and the dangerous level reads aren't as clear as they should be. They don't seem to realize that you wouldn't know what the dangerous levels alarm sounds like if you never had them.

It did this 2 days ago and I thought I had to just replace the batteries. But here we are again.

Pretty sure I just need to replace the entire alarm but anyone got any extra insight?

I have a hard time telling the difference between my high and sober brain at times so stay tuned. I think Ill be too far gone before I acknowledge Im high. Thinking of smoking atm too. It would make it even harder to decipher

I did that the 1st time 2 days ago. The fact I slept here for 2 nights since kind of makes me less paranoid. 1st time I checked a few things, called my ma for elder experience, went outside, read a book and waited.

Buy a new Carbon Monoxide alarm if you are so sure it's just a old broken one. If it's not that though... Call your fire department. They can confirm and find the leak.

I think stoves and furnaces and shit. Someone correct me. I keep mine right next to my stove, but I put it in other places of the house to see if it would persist. Im gonna take the alarm with me and see if it goes off outside the house

One time my elderly neighbors had that issue. Carbon monoxide alarm kept going off and the dog would go crazy barking. So they threw the alarm away and got rid of the dog when it still barked. Then their grandkids came to pack up and move their stuff. Crazy world we live in.

It's been still beeping in the car. So evidence is pointing to it needing to be replaced

Anything that burns stuff. I was going to say "anything that uses natural gas and fireplaces", but then I remembered hearing that some Americans have oil burning appliances.

A lot of them are like that now. They last 5-10 years and then you just buy a new one.

They do that because the detector looses it's effectiveness over time.

I'll see what I can do. Also, thanks for reading that post correct even though it says the exact opposite of what I meant. You are now a certified professor of context.

At least if I called the fire department, a cop might of came with them and shot my dog for no reason or something. Missed opportunity to really get this topic poppin

Real talk tho, one of you might think back to this topic when your alarm dies. I saved lives today and no one can take that away from me
