Mysterious intermittent beeping in my apartment...

[jean_ji]

Our neighbor kept hearing an electrical, buzzing type sound after she went to bed each night. She would get up, check everything out, but could never find anything. It was making her crazy. This went on nightly and then finally stopped on its own after a while. She forgot about it.

She had a handyman in to help her remove an old bed and set up a new one. When they lifted the old mattress up, there was a dead Pygmy rattler. In FL, even with some newer homes, it's not uncommon to have the washer and dryer in the garage. She surmised the snake was the source of the mysterious sound and it came in with her laundry basket on one of her trips from the garage to her bedroom. She never heard the sound until she got into bed each night and wrongly thought she could hear it because it was so quiet.

I am so glad I have a laundry room inside.

Crazy how many product designers think it is reasonable to make a device that starts emitting random noises when the battery gets low. Things that don't normally make noise, like a desktop clock, or a TV remote.
