Nope these ones did it from the get go. We asked about it when they got installed, it was a feature to let you know they were operating properly. I really to this day don’t know why it was like that.

It wasn’t a loud beep, when the TV was on, you couldn’t even hear it. I only heard it when it was quiet in the house, especially when I wanted to sleep.

It’s the canary in a coal mine system. Once you no longer hear the beep, RIP

Terribly idea, honestly… Something like that quickly becomes background noise and most of us won’t notice when it stops happening for a while. Better to make a positive alert that there’s a sync issue than a negative alert regularly that all’s well

I’m going to call all of my friends and family at 3 am to tell them everything is fine and they don’t need to worry, and should go back to bed.

Sounds maddening!

Mostly I was posting the information above in case someone else has a beeping fire alarm system as it might be like our one and not like yours. I can’t imagine that one took off!
