Default Beeping can't find the reason

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?


Anything related to your computer?
A remote control for something hidden under a couch cushion?


Cushion? hehe.
Giving me ideas.
I bought a Fart Machine in a joke shop in Florida.
Put it anywhere. I like to tape it under a chair.
Then hit the little remote control. Always a different fart,
Yeah, yeah, lowbrow. The 3 Stooges crack me up too.

But I'm thinking a little faint beeping sounder might sell too.
Could work with remote, could be a random timing, never too close
together. Could be real tiny.
Good way to drive the spouse crazy.
I'd get 2, with different signal remotes.
Hide one under a couch, beep it a couple times so the wife gets close,
waiting to pin it down.
Then I'd hit the remote for the one hidden in another room.
Yep, I'd buy.
No, I'm not a prick.
