Very often, the beeping coming from a smoke detector is a sign that the batteries may be going dead. If you want the beeping to stop, change the batteries.

How do you stop a fire alarm when it starts beeping and there is no smoke?
You can stop a smoke/fire alarm beeping by removing the battery. But, get another or fix the one you have and put it back quickly as it can save your life. If it's also a CO2 detector you will see no smoke and smell nothing but CO2 is lethal if you continue breathing it.
How do you stop hard wired smoke alarms from beeping after an electric outage?
Beeping could be caused by several things: an electronic error, a low battery, an expired sensor, nuisance smoke, or an actual fire. NEVER ignore a beeping smoke alarm, or simply remove the batteries without installing new ones. Hundreds of people are killed each year because of disabled smoke alarms. If there is an intermittent beep (e.g., every thirty seconds or minute), it may indicate a low battery or that the sensor is expired. If replacing the batteries does not make it stop, consider replacing the entire unit. If nuisance smoke (or steam) sets off the smoke alarm (e.g., near a kitchen or bathroom), it should be removed and put into a different location, or replaced with a different type of sensor. False alarms have a tendency to cause people to ignore them, which can be deadly. If there is an actual fire, the way to stop the beeping is to put the fire out (if you can do so safely) and then "air out" the room until the smoke dissipates. You should consider replacing a smoke detector if it has been involved in an actual fire, as it may be permanently contaminated and no longer as sensitive as necessary.

How do you stop the beeping sound on the Pioneer DEH-P20 car stereo when you turn the engine off?
The beeping sound should stop by itself. If the beeping does not stop, then your stereo has a technical issue. Once you get your stereo fixed, it should stop beeping after a little bit.
Can the radiation in a smoke detector escape?
No, the radioactive sources in smoke detectors emit alpha particles. These are very weakly penetrating and are stopped by a few centimetres of air, therefore the plastic casing of the detector is sufficient to stop any radiation.
