When I was in my teens my family moved back to our hometown. Our new house had an smoke alarm that would beep every 5 minutes on the dot. It wasn’t low or anything it just did that. Don’t know why.
At first it was the most annoying thing we ever had to live with (other than my brothers) but after a while we didn’t even notice the beeping. We didn’t even hear it anymore.
Till one day my oldest brother came to visit he was there maybe half an hour when he burst out saying HOW THE HELL CAN YOU GUYS LIVE HERE WITH THAT CONSTANT BEEPING???
We looked around like WTF are you talking about? Than it dawned on us it was the alarm. We all waited patiently to try and hear it and beep lol we heard it. He yelled at us because he can’t believe we couldn’t hear it the whole time.
.
This actually why I think certain things in nature maybe do make sounds but we are so used to them that we don’t hear them anymore.
Yeah. We did this too. Except it was actually low on battery. And it beeped so long that we stopped hearing it. But then occasionally someone new would turn up and be like, omg how can you stand it?!? We eventually changed it, so we didn’t die in a fire. But yeah. You can get used to most anything.
