What is the beeping in Vickery Meadow
Posted by goldenshear@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 13 comments
I live just off Greenville Avenue in Vickery Meadow and there’s a constant faint three beeps, almost like somebody’s smoke alarm is going off down the block. Anyone know what that is?

We had a similar issue with a neighbor whose automatic gate battery was low. 3 beeps every few minutes.
I would start there. Try to narrow it down by who has an automatic gate, then see if you can find the source that way. I mentioned it to my neighbor and they were completely unaware but had it fixed within a week.

Is it happening at regular intervals or is it sort of irregular?

It’s three regular beeps and then a short pause

There’s a bird that does that outside my window and last spring was the first time I ever heard it but it’s exactly like you said - three short chirps then silence for a minute. I also thought an alarm was going off but it sounded like a low battery warning sound inside my house. The birds outside my window chirp for hours at a time, how long have you been hearing it? Fwiw, the Merlin bird ID app said it was an Ash-throated Fly Catcher.

That would be NUTS if it’s a bird. It really does sound like a fire/carbon monoxide alarm.

I absolutely thought it was the carbon monoxide warning. If you can, listen really closely because every once in a while there’ll be a trill sound but it’s super short.
