Me and my family have no idea what is causing the noise,it is really and squeaky and we can't sleep. Its coming from the hallway and there are 4 devices in the hall way. Once we just took out,it was a carbon monoxide detector model KN-COB-B. But that doesn't seem the cause. We have something that looks like a speaker. Another circle thing attached to the ceiling. Another rectangular device attached to the wall. I have exactly no idea what they are and what they do. Please help,its already 10:40 pm at the moment.

If there was a lot of smoke and the smoke detector didn't go off, wouldn't you say it's not working?
Memory
I just moved and recently I've had 2 things burn in the kitchen. One was food burned on the stove from over cooking. The second time today, my daughter heated peanut butter in a plastic container for 4 minutes, it burned. Both times the kitchen and living room all filled up with smoke. The place still has heavy burnt smell, but (none of the smoke detectors went off ). I did the press button test to check battery. They beeped loudly. I'm pretty certain they don't detect carbon monoxide. I'm wondering if I should call maintenance. The kind the apartment has say (10 year alarm) on the front.
Thank you all for taking the time to answer. I called the office, someone came and changed the smoke detector. He said they have had problems in the past, with the kind I had. He put a different one.

Definitely call maintenance!
If you have smoke in your house and the smoke alarm doesn't go off then you have a problem. If you press the button to check a smoke detector all you are doing is seeing if the battery is dead. You are not checking the sensor that detects the smoke.
With kids in the house i would have a smoke alarm in almost every room. As some of the people responded it might be that the smoke isn't getting to the alarm. Take it outside and burn something under it to see if it goes off. If you cant take it outside do it inside but be careful.
It sounds like you live in an apartment, but you can buy your own smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are pretty cheap, and how would you feel if you got a fire because you didn't want to spend $20 or $30 to buy a couple more to put in a few more rooms.
