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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

That just makes no bloody sense. I say call the cops and have them stop it. It's just plain ******* ridiculous . These are obviously the type of people who don't care about anybody but themselves. It's must be driving your other neighbours crazy as well.

If it were me, I would start by seeing if there is a sign in their window or yard with their security company's name/phone number, then calling them to explain the issue (there might be a setting they can alter remotely. If no joy, then I would try raising the neighbors (not first b/c they are distant and therefore likely impotent), to see if they have a relative w/keys or etc who could assist. If not an option or unhelpful, then yes I would involve law enforcement to assist, on three grounds: 1) yes, nuisance/disturbing the peace -- illegal 2) to do a "wellness check" because that's NOT normal, so may be an actual problem 3) yes, could be either a dying/malfunctioning fire alarm , so could be a dangerous situation (even if no fire now, if the alarm dies then if there is a shorted wire or such in the nine mos, no alert). Good luck!

I would file a noise complaint, police should come ASAP and do something about it

Buy some headphones to tune it out

Now this is where a rocket launcher would come in handy.

A brick through the window would fix this problem. The alarm company would have to come out and deactivate it.

How can it possibly be loud enough to be constantly bothersome? Could you be overreacting?
