I am not sure if anyone has seen this before, but we have a smoke alarm that consistently makes twitching noise when the temperature drops below 65 degree F. Every morning about 5 AM, the alarm starts making this noise till we get up run the heater and the temperature of the house rises above 65 degrees.
I first found this funny thing when I painted my kitchen cabinets and the house was very smelly. That day the temperature outside was quite less and windy, but I had no choice but to open the doors. Soon after, this funny alarm started making this noise every few seconds. I was like what :- you don't like cold wind?! And soon after it has become a daily occurrence. Every morning like an alarm it will go off till we get up and switch on the heater.
An avid googler, I started googling to find the cause and LOL here it is:
"When the temperature drops the voltage to the battery reduces which will cause the unit to chirp. As the temperature rises so the chirping will cease. This behavior normally denotes that the battery needs to be changed but this could also happen on cold nights when the house is unheated". So, the next thing for us to do is change the battery and see what happens...
