I have something that is beeping at me exactly every two minutes. I have
ruled out the usual suspects of smoke alarms, the microwave. And even
some stranger ones like my cell phones, oven timers, etc. Sounds to me
like a battery is going dead, but can't figure out what it might be.
Having trouble tracking down where it is because of the long time frame
between beeps. Any suggestions of things to look for?


Could be something like an answering machine reminding of a message.
Other than that. Two minutes isn't that long of a wait to locate the
beeping. Now if it beeped ever 30 minutes I might give up but not 2
minutes to sit it out.


No answering machine. Two minutes, for me anyway, is hard because I
tend to lose track of where I heard the last time by the time is beeps
the next time (g).
