Just did this yesterday, and eventually found it was the neighbours one that was flat. It’s the 3rd time I’ve knocked on a neighbours door (different people each time) to ask them to take a battery out an alarm. I’d consider it a feature if they combusted after alarming for a day.

I am Deaf. In the night you would need to break into my flat, too, because the flash indicating the door bell is in the living room, not the bed room. Nobody and nothing disturbs my sacred nightly sleep.

It's amazing that people can just tolerate or not be aware of things like this.

My nemesis was one of those round stick-on LCD clocks that used to be popular.
The designer apparently thought that emitting a single beep every five minutes or so would be an awesome low battery indicator.
I didn't know what kind of thing was making the beep, naturally, which was unhelpful.
It took about a month of me slowly going mad before I finally found the thing at the back of a desk drawer.
