Question:

Would this have cause a smoke detector to beep twice very loud?

The smoke detector in my elderly father's house beeped twice at full strength about 60 seconds apart. The beeps were about 1 minute apart and at full strength at 3:00AM. After the second beep I went into the attic right above the second floor where the smoke detector was and it seemed like the 45 year old box fan ( LOL 45 years old)my father was running for attic ventilation smelled like it was burning up. I turned it off and have not heard any further beeps. Would that have caused the smoke detector to beep like that? It was a very new detector that I only replaced in his house about 6 months ago.

Answer:

drive with nearly a full cup of water.. don't spill a drop.. if you don't spill it going fast it won't damage your car and your theory is right if it hits anything or youre rough the water will spill which means youre theory is wrong and every bump is different too..
Well I think you are wasting your time and money.here is why if you install glass it will reflect the soundI guess your talking about your loud music.your hard walls will set up reflective surfaces that will cause the sound to be bounced all over the place and probably make it sound tinnyyou should use a material that absorbs sound.such as cloth or even cork board. BUT this is not the real reason i think this is a bad ideabecause, I bet that what the neighbors can't live with are the bass notes.. and nothing short of thick concrete wall will fix this problem. even then it will travel through the construction of the building and set up resonances in other rooms which can be heard. one thing that could help some is to get your speakers off the floor.but it will not help much. I have lived in apartments like this and I feel for you and I feel for the neighborsbut honestly the neighbors will win any fight and you will be forced to move out.so do yourself a favor..buy some really good wireless headphones and everybody wins.
Use a damp sponge and stroke only one way. Whatever is left is woven into the actual fabric and you would best do with just using a 'throw' over it.
