The dejected phase is normal. Give him something else to resonate with. A small wind chime, a music box, a ticking clock that isn't near your bedroom. Ambients need stimulus. If you take away their project without replacing it, they'll find something worse. Mine discovered the refrigerator compressor cycle and composed what I can only describe as a drone opera that lasted eleven days. Give Hum a hobby before he gives himself one.

Retune the detector to a frequency outside his responsive range. Most ambients top out around 14kHz, so get one with an ultrasonic alert mode. The Krevmire hardware store on Dross Ave carries them, labeled "pet-compatible" in small print on the back. Tell them it's for an ambient and they'll know which one. Also, DO NOT just remove the smoke detector. I know it's tempting. I did it and my ambient spent two weeks trying to reproduce the chirp from memory. It was not accurate and it was not pleasant.
