Today, my neighbors left for their nine month excursion, and armed their security system. One of the features is a loud series of three beeps every three seconds, 24 hours a day. I can hear it, clear as a bell, throughout my entire house. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML
Today, I learned that my new neighbour's car alarm goes off every time a car drives by blasting loud bass. So far, it's gone off 6 times in the last hour. I can't wait until he's done moving in here, where he and his car will stay for the next year. FML
Today, I bought a key finder that responds to loud, high-pitched, annoying tones. It beeps every time I talk. FML
Today, like every year, my next-door neighbors started setting off their fireworks at exactly midnight. Also, like every year, the sensitive car alarm belonging to another neighbor has gone off with every firework. It's been almost six hours of nonstop alarms and explosions. FML
Today, the fire alarm keeps going off at my apartment. Not only is the noise ear-piercingly loud enough to wake the entire neighbourhood, there's also a big flashing red light in case the deafening sound isn't enough. This is my day off. It's going on all day. FML
Today, after months of peace and quiet since January, a new family moved into the apartment below me ten minutes before I was about to go to sleep. They've been here for 30 minutes and already they're stomping and banging doors all over the place. FML
Today, I bought noise-canceling headphones because my neighbors are loud. The first night I wore them, I completely missed the sound of my smoke alarm battery dying. Instead of hearing a faint beep every minute, I woke up to six missed calls from my roommate asking why I wasn't answering. FML
Today, my neighbor got a ridiculous surround sound system that sounds like Jurassic fucking Park come to life. My walls are literally shaking. I tried asking nicely for them to turn it down. They told me to fuck off, and that if I call the cops with a noise complaint, well… they know where I live. FML
Today, I was so tired, I passed out at work in the middle of a call. All because my neighbor's car alarm kept going off every 3 minutes all through the morning. It was still going when I left for work. If you see a news story in a few days about a whole neighborhood beating a guy to death, that's probably us. FML
Today, like every day, I woke up at 3 in the morning because my roommate needs "a three hour warning" before his real alarm goes off. His alarm is a constant beeping noise which he always ignores for a good 10 minutes before finally getting up and turning it off. FML

Perhaps it's time for a tree to "fall" on their power lines?

Call them. They'll just have to get somebody to set up a new security system. Untill then, FYL.

If it was that loud that i was getting disturbed I'd try to get in touch with my neighbours if that didn't work then i'd definitely report it to the police. All I'm thinking is how do you sleep at night ? I need complete silence. A constant repetitive beeping sound like that would really grate on my nerves.

You get used to it. I live right next to a highway, it doesn't bother me cuz it's constant and I'm used to it.

Sometimes people get used to it. Others have to find new apartments because they lose sleep and it affects their daily lives. I, on the other hand, am the exact opposite. Always need to hear some sort of background noise to sleep peacefully. Been that way since I was an infant.

They definitely did it on purpose.

Think about that...

I would like to think they wanted their neighbours to learn to count. You know, 3 beeps every 3 seconds, 180 beeps a minute. Now do the math!

70 - That would be 60 beeps a minute.

Somehow "better safe than sorry" doesn't quite fit for you here...

I would hate to see the power bill after 9 months!!

not really, making beeping noises doesnt need much energy compared to the energy saved by not living in a house.

What ever happened to the dozens of laser beams criss-crossing each other?

Wow. That'll go on for 9 months? Sounds a little extreme!

It's Homer Simpson's "everything is okay" alarm

9 months? That is crazy. Call the police.
