I'm hoping that someone can help.

We have a very high pitch sound, somewhere in our kitchen that we can not
find. We even shut off the electricity to the whole house to see if we could
localized it. Still there with no electric!

I am absolutely stumped.

I had an identical situation, but instead of the high pitched noise coming from the meat thermometer, it was from the gas pilot light. let me explain:

after i read through this thread, i checked my digital meat thermometer and found there was no noise coming from it. Then I painstakingly followed the noise for half an hour and traced it to my gas stove (I have a vintage O Keefe and Merritt stove). The tone seemed like it was coming from the pilot light for the oven (for my model, there are a total of 3 - one for each side of the burners, and one underneath the oven, located in the broiler
drawer). Then I shut off the gas to the oven, and the high pitched noise stopped!! I brushed the white ash off of the pilot light and adjacent surfaces, and cleaned the area with some compressed air. Turned back on the gas, relit the pilot light, and voila! no more noise.

hope this helped.

How would "this" help after 13 years?! Those were different times,
long ago.

It might have been gerbil hair. I wonder how they made out after all this
time. It burns me up when gerbils are hurt.

I'm a gerbil rights activist and I believe they have the same rights as people. They make up a large voter block. I think it was the gerbils who put Trump over the top and won the election for him. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
