Has anyone noticed the intermittent beeping on the Upland Rd / North Cross Rd area

[Tlee2201]

I’ve been hearing a beeping sound that goes off every 45 - 60 secs 24 hours a day for a few weeks and can’t work out where it’s coming from. You can hear it all the way down the road and I can hear it when I’m at home and it’s starting to drive me a bit crazy, so would love to figure out what it is. 
 

Anyone else noticed it?

I’m pretty sure there was a thread about this a long time ago - I’m talking five years or more… I’ll try and find it.

Does it sound like any of these alarm sounds (ignore the cheesy US voice over)

This may not be what you mean, but there's what I presume is a burglar alarm near the dentist on North Cross Road which keeps going off, but I don't think  all the time.

I don't know who "owns" the alarm, but if I lived or worked near there it would drive me mad.

I'm in Ulverscroft Road, so not far away, but I haven't knowingly heard it inside my house (but I have double glazing).

I've only noticed it on many occasions when walking down North Cross Road.

Which way down which specific road?

 

[Tlee2201]

You can hear it by Eric’s on Upland Road the all the way down to dentist on North Cross Road. 
 

It sounds like the battery on an alarm system is running out (based on the link above) and presumably on a commercial property or a vacant home as otherwise it would have been turned off. 
 

It’s just very annoying and has been going for a few weeks constantly.

Are there any caravans, or similar around there, it might be inside a vehicle, if it is in a house or commercial property, unless its empty, the owner would notice, but vehicles are often out of earshot

YES!!! It drives me insane. No-one seems to know!!!

Are you saying that if you are walking down North Cross Road from the direction of Upland Road that you can't hear it once you have passed the dentist?

Because if so, it can't be the alarm next to the dentist which I referred to above (unless it coincidentally stops making a sound  every time you pass it!)

Clarification

[Spartacus]

Have you found the cause ? 

[Sue]

The alarm outside the dentist hasn't been bleeping when I've passed it a couple of times recently.

OP and others, have you heard the mysterious noise in the last few days?

[Tlee2201]

I haven’t been able to work it out. You can hear it next to Eric’s bit also down by the art gallery and Evi’s so it’s really confusing as to where it’s coming from but it’s definitely every 60 secs or so constantly. It’s so annoying!

So is it still going on? I live very near there and walk there often, but the only bleeping  noise  I've ever heard is from the alarm near the dentist.

And I have very good hearing.

Though I'm beginning to doubt that now, if there's a constant bleeping in the area every 60 seconds!!!

 

[Sue]

At 2.15pm today the alarm to the right (as you face it) of the dentist in North Cross Road was bleeping again.

I could hear it up to Ulverscroft Road, but I turned off there, so I don't know if you can hear it beyond that.

If nobody has identified anything else, I'm pretty sure that must be the noise that people are referring to on here.

It would be a great coincidence (though not impossible) if there was another bleeping noise in more or less exactly the same area.

But how then to explain how you could easily locate this one, when no-one  else seems to have been able to?
