Some suggestions

Sometimes trapped flying midges inside (no joke) can set an alarm off through flying around and the ultra-sonics detectors pick them up. Depend how sensitive yours have been set up.. (And they are about at this time of the year!, despite the cold.)

Or a Ultra-sonic sender transmitter or receiver unit has gone noisey but that only usually happens with 5 to 7 years old units.

Or the U-s have been set too sensitive and are self triggering the alarm.

Or there is a fault with the alarm unit itself - dealer check.
