Default Mains smoke alarms - cheep every few days

It would be very annoying if you had quite a few and they all did it at
different times though.

Every few days (I think) one or both of the mains smoke alarms cheep once.

On line search suggests that low battery should cause a regular cheep
(already experienced that and changed the battery).

There is also a suggestion that dust could cause a false alarm - but this
isn't an alarm, just a single cheep.

Has anyone else experienced this, and worked out what was causing it?

The alarms have been fitted for about 5 years.

Oh, and does everyone change their smoke alarms every 10 years?

Cheers

It's not just to indicate that the alarm is working, is it, a bit like
the continuous beeping they have in places like Sellafield?
