constant beeping noise by goose green (not the traffic!)

[Crokes]

Has anyone else noticed the rather annoying beeping noise that can be heard by goose green or know what is causing it? - maybe i'm just being overly sensitive but i don't have super-hearing!

Whatever it is beeps about every 30 seconds and has been going on constantly since the weekend. We live on east dulwich road and can hear it from inside our flat, even with the TV on! It's possibly a faulty alarm or something but it's difficult to pinpoint exactly where it's coming from and it doesn't seem serious enough to warrant complaining the council -does anyone have any ideas?

turn the tv up.

I live very near where the sound is coming from and it is really annoying. Cant seem to pinpoint! What to do?

Human triangulation? Get a couple of mates (more if possible) start at various ends of GG and LL, and walk towards the noise. For full effect, walkie talkies might be required.

Not sure if this is an effective/practical suggestion, but it would at least narrow the area down a bit?

I've had something similar before and it was a neighbour's smoke alarm announcing that its battery is running low. Just a thought.

I thought that was my tinnitus playing up.

When I was wandering down the lane a couple of days ago it appeared to be strongest in the vicinity of Bossman wines.

I used to live on Camberwell Road and the same thing happened... one day a really loud constant beeping noise started and it drove all of us in my flat mad as we could hear it inside flat, 24 hours a day. Nothing would drown it out. Turned out it was a device that had been attached quite high up on the building that beeped each time a bus went by, a bus counter! Never knew who put it there (council maybe or bus company) but we moved to ED before we got to the bottom of it.. it was a nightmare so i sympathise.

Thanks for the posts and suggestions - the source has been found (a neighbour's flat and upper floor which explains why it was so difficult to locate) and yes it turned out to be a smoke alarm low battery (neighbour returned from a few days away and sorted it but was very apologetic to anyone affected).
