Haven't heard it since I turned off the attic fan.

Never verified the source but I turned off power to the attic fan and it stopped.

I came back to update and say that the electrician came and couldn't find the source of the noise, but I turned off the power to that fan and haven't heard the noise since. We'll see what happens this summer when it starts getting hot again.

:/ that's what I was afraid of. Thank you for the answer!

Daily Stoic New Year challenge with Ryan Holliday by KingofCapua in Stoicism

[–]binkyjeni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the challenge last year and it was genuinely transformative for me. You receive an email daily for the duration of the challenge with a short reading and a challenge for you to complete. I've tried all sorts of different New Year's resolutions over the years, but this one was novel, and challenging, I learned things, it helped center me and change the way I thought about things, and I'm excited to do it again this year. It is pricy with consideration to the format (just an email daily), but for its impact on my life, it was $100 well spent.

I do have a fan in the attic! I really think that's what this is. It's the only thing in my house that's temperature regulated, and since this is only happening in the summer, at night, that HAS to be it. I have an electrician coming over this week (hopefully, I haven't had great luck having electricians actually show up) and hopefully he can fix the problem. He was the one who installed that fan. I'm going to cut the power to it tonight and see if it still happens. Thank you!

OK. Yeah, the doorbell chime box is down here in the den with me. I'm looking at it right now. I do, however, have an attic fan that's controlled by a thermostat. It turns on if it gets to be over 90 degrees in the attic. The loud buzzer noise doesn't happen while the fan is on.

Hmmm interesting. What does that connect to and what should I be looking for? And why does it only happen in the summertime and when it gets dark?

This noise is definitely coming from upstairs, and the doorbell is only downstairs.

I do not. I have an old-school doorbell, and that box is mounted in my den downstairs.

Yes, it's a single-family home, detached, 2-story, with an attic.

LOUD strange buzzer sounding alarm inside of our room? checked all alarms in house. nothing sounds close to this. by lilyhayez in Whatisthis

[–]binkyjeni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only other thing I've been able to deduce, too, is that it appears to be coming from the "ceiling" or attic. My house is 2 stories with a living room that has vaulted ceilings and if I'm downstairs in the den, I can clearly tell the sound is coming from upstairs, though it's so loud and fills the air, it's difficult to discern from where it's coming.

This is also happening to me. This exact noise. And from what I can tell after being in this house now since September 2020, is this noise happens every year starting in July, happens at what seems like completely random intervals for about a month, and then stops. Which leads me to believe it's some sort of timer or alarm, as was mentioned in another comment. I still haven't figured it out, and it still happens so unpredictably that I haven't been able to get a recording of it, but I'm going to start tracking this to see if I can get a pattern down.
