If you are having trouble tracking it down, try asking the voices in your head;)

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

Margaret....are you still getting the bleep or has it gone?
You've had me looking to the sky for aliens.
If you see a flying poncake let us know.

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

The double bleep has stopped but the single bleep continues.
I recharged my mobile phone - it wasn't that.
I sit at my pc in the middle of one side of my lounge - I hear it from both left and right.

I am wondering now that it might be the base for my radio phone on the left AND my fridge in the kitchen on my right - but it happens more on the left (phone location)

I think the chap in the flat below me has recently got internet access by using a dongle
(I heard the intro to IPlayer) He said he was considering it a while back.

For you radio techies - could his dongle interfere with my radio phone?

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

do you mean a cordless phone? suppose it is possible but would have thought it was too far away to interfere with it, if i put my mobile near our cordless phone it makes it bleep about every 10 mins but they have to be very near to each other to do it

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

Last night I was laid on my bed about 7pm when I heard what Thought was a siren going of, I hit the mute on the TV, went to the window looked out nobody staring at all this went on for have an hour and was get on my nerves, went to the window again but opened it this time, but the noise wasn't coming from outside, so I started walking round listening, I found the culprit, I'd accidentally switched my phone on and it had started buzzing to tell me it was off the hook:rolleyes:

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

I am beginning to think that my cordless landline phone is the bleeper.
I have a corded phone stored in the sideboard (I think), so sometime today I will unplug the cordless phone and see what happens, or doesn't happen:)

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

Think you may have sorted it Margaret, when a cordless phone's battery is coming to the end of is useful life it does beep, I know I changed mine a couple of months ago for that reason. I could have bought a new battery, but the phone was around 10 years old and I'd already had one replacement battery so I thought I'd up date

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

I'm fed up now. I wanted it to be the phantom door knockers and bell ringers. I like a spooky story!

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

It may still turn into a spooky story. It's a bit like "Poltergeist", except instead of the TV being off and unplugged, Margaret's 'phone battery is completely dead, and the beeping is caused by dead northern spirits because the phone line conduit ran through the last resting place of the hordes who starved during the Lancashire Hot Pot blight of 1783.

Perhaps.

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

funny we are having a bleeping sporadically fer about 3 days now, couldn't figure out what it was at first, cos it was 2/3 occasional bleeps, paris figured it after about 24 hrs, twas the pigging smoke detector at the top of stairwell.:alright:

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

Talking about spooky things I couldn't sleep last night and watched Quatermass and the Pit, them poor sods at Hobs End were really spookd out:D

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

Have you got a burglar alarm on your flat if so have you got a back up battery if you have that will bleep when it needs a new one similar to a smoke alarm battery .

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

Our cordless DECT phone beeps all the time, just goes off for no reason.

We have got used to it now, I'm not going to waste any effort on fixing it because at some point its being thrown out of the window in a fit of rage when it cuts us off again. :D

Re: Unidentified bleep
 

Further developments-
I disconnected the cordless radio phone and replaced it with a 'normal' phone but the bleeps continued.
The double bleep returned, and I traced that to be my spare PC which (I think) was 'asking' to be updated, because I hadn't switched it on for 2 months.
Now I have installed updates on it, that double bleep has stopped.
I still have one unidentified single tone bleep - it may be the fridge freezer - the only item that hasn't been unplugged for test purposes.
I will now try to find the instruction book for it, to see if a bleep is mentioned in it.
Meanwhile the problem has been halved and I can live with that.
Thanks for your suggestions
