Fire alarms in apartments ring for no reason – or they are just very sensitive. Even if you cook with just a little bit of smoke, or you lit up a scented candle, it starts ringing in a shrieking, annoying sound. And it won’t be off until a few minutes later. Often times it’s a false alarm, and often times you don’t know why it’s screaming. There’s just a lot of uncertainty and jump scare that comes from the fire alarm.
