My in-laws lived in an apartment after they sold their house and when
MiL died FiL moved into a single bedroom unit. All was great for a
couple months.... until there was a cricket. It kept him awake until
late at night and often woke him up. He spent a lot of time looking for
that thing, but it was hard because it only chirped occasionally. He
ended up calling the super. It turned out to be the low battery warning
on the smoke detector.
