Why can’t smoke alarms beep every three seconds when the battery is low?

I just spent 40 mins trying to locate one of the 12 alarms in this house that was low on battery power. It beeped every three minutes and had no flashing light or any other indication that it was the deficient household culprit.

Is this Big Smoke Alarm trying to waste away my precious life moments, forcing me to wander aimlessly around this building, staring at the ceiling with a knot in my neck hoping to be sent a lifeline.

Is life not hard enough???

Why is the emergency alert system so flawed?

Asleep at 1:00AM in Victoria, on a Monday morning, and I’m woken by an Amber alert for Terrace, BC???

I have no problem being alerted to anything local and relevant, but tech does allow for logic.

Why isn’t it applied?

Upvote for ridiculous.
