Beeping from attic

This beeping sound continued
for several hours, until finally it started to gradually become quieter
and quieter, until after an additional hour or two the sound faded
away... as if a battery had been depleted.

We haven't yet entered the attic, as the barely human-sized access hole
in our closet isn't very inviting.

Can anyone offer any theories as to what the source of sound could have
been? ...how about advice on climbing into the attic?

Either a smoke detector batty that needs replacing. or a Roadrunner (beep
beep) dying a slow death.

Access is often through a trap door in the top of a closet. Careful where
you stand if the floor is not finished so you don't go through.
