Woman Calls 911 After Hearing Odd Alarm Going Off In Her Home—Only For Cops To Make Embarrassing Discovery

TikToker @trace_myjournee shared how she was singing karaoke at her home when she heard what sounded like a high-pitched alarm going off, so she called 911 in a panic—and they found the embarrassing source of the sound.

We've all had our embarrassing moments, but most of us can say that our embarrassing moment didn't lead to calling the fire department.

While having a relaxing Saturday night at home with wine and a personal karaoke system, TikToker @trace_myjournee was concerned when a loud and shrill alarm started to come from inside her apartment.


She patrolled her apartment, checking appliances and detectors, looking for the source of the sound. Based on its shrill and loud nature, she was certain that it was a serious issue and even became concerned that it could be harmful to herself and her neighbors sharing the building.

Eventually, she called 911, and a group of firefighters was dispatched to her location. In the meantime, the noise had stopped, which made their hunt around her apartment harder, but when the sound started up again, it was soon obvious where the sound was coming from.

The TikToker had originally been suspicious that the sound was coming from the stove in her kitchen, near where she'd been sitting and relaxing. Surprisingly, one of the firefighters picked up her karaoke microphone and said the sound was coming from it.

All concerns resolved, the group laughed about the misunderstanding, and the TikToker even sang a song for them.

Upon leaving, a police officer in attendance cracked a joke by pointing to the bodycam he had on the chest of his uniform and said the best part was that he'd caught the whole incident on camera.

While this TikToker might be embarrassed about the reality of the situation that she found herself in, the truth of the matter is that she surely will begin to see the humor in this in time.

As for the men who came to her aid, they were likely grateful for an almost-emergency that turned out to be funny rather than tragic—and, of course, to have a funny story to share around at the station.

The boy was at Kennedy Space Center in Florida with a GoPro strapped to his black NASA cap, having traveled to witness the first human-crewed mission to the Moon in more than 50 years.
