Do you know what your smoke alarm sounds like?
The first time I heard a smoke alarm was at night while I was dog sitting at my daughter's - it took me quite a while to figure out what I was hearing and where I was hearing it from. (Fortunately, it was just a low battery warning.)
The ones we have sound more "annoying" than "alarming" to me when they go off.
Just a suggestion:
Do a "test listen" so you - and everyone in your household - know what these alarms sound like -
and have a plan for what to do if there actually is a fire
for how to get out of your house if there is smoke or fire
- and where to meet up so you know if everyone is accounted for.
