(182,877 posts)Really high pitched beep. Part of the fire or security system. I was talking to someone and someone else said CAN WE TURN THAT OFF. I had just tuned it out. Ive learned how to do that I guess.

During one summer break, the youth band I was in, made up of kids from all around L.A. county, attended state competition in San Diego. To save money, the bandleader booked us room and board at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot. Our huts were less than 200 yards from the runway. I was the only one who got a good night's sleep.
