Anyone Else has had a Smoke Detector False Alarm from Nothing?

Like, not even from smoke from cooking something
My smoke detector went off at 3:45am, needless to say other than scaring the shite out of me and pissing me off, im confused on this because the detectors and batteries are only 2 years old and never low battery chirped before this
Could it be dust? Corona in the air?

Your detector has Covid-19; it was letting you know

How old are your devices?... this happened to me a couple years ago... ended up replacing them all and the problem went away. IIRC, they’re only good for 10 years or so.
and of course they never went off at 5:30pm... it was always 3am
Eta: reread OP... no clue if they’re only 2 years old.... probably wouldn’t hurt to rewire them... may have a short somewhere.

Low backup battery. Mine did it to me a few times at my old house. That is if it is wired into the house like most modern houses nowadays.

I ripped mine off the wall. It's pretty effective, never goes off anymore.

It's telling you to go buy toilet paper
