Burglar alarm or, more likely, carbon monoxide detector.

My smoke detectors continue to chirp after the batteries are removed. The
first time it happened I continued to look for the culprit for some time after
it was taken care of. Happened again Sunday morning at 4:00AM (though this
time I knew it was going to continue). Stupid things!

Nah, we checked those. The CO detectors are part of the smoke detectors.

Hmmm... On our microwave, if you let it finish, it will beep every few
minutes to remind you there's something in there until you open the
door... Of course, in this case, it's the same sound it normally makes
when it finishes, which is pretty obvious.

Hide one under a couch, beep it a couple times so the wife gets close,

Never had a problem with beeping. Always find it pretty quickly.
You'll find it in the last place you look.
Funny how it always works that way.
I've had greeting cards tucked away somewhere make noise.
About a month ago I'd hear what sounded like very faint Christmas
music every hour.
Seemed to be coming from a stack of papers on the thing we keep on the
kitchen table.
Kept meaning to tell my wife to check it out, but didn't for a couple
weeks.
When I finally mentioned to her that something was making noise in the
kitchen, she got ****ed and pointed to the big "Christmas" clock on
the kitchen wall. Hadn't noticed it.
Oh well.

Maybe, at wits end, turn off all house power and if beep continues you
can assume something with a battery. You'll also be able to hear better
with all background noises off.

That'd be my advice, too. Actually, it is my advice, too. :-)

Last time I did that, it turned out to be an ancient smoke alarm that had
once started beeping, then stopped, and I'd thrown on a shelf in the
basement about a year before, figuring that the battery had given out and
the whole thing was due for replacement anyway.

Quite why it suddenly decided to beep again a year later I don't know,
but of course I'd forgotten it was there by then and it took me a while
to work out where the noise was coming from (it'd beep once every 5
minutes or so, too, which is an annoying length of time to be standing
around trying to pinpoint the next beep! :-)

Amazing how much quieter the house is when there's not the fridge,
computers etc. all running.

Disconnecting the load on an UPS doesn't keep it from beeping if its
internal betteries are dying.

The one time I had that happen, it was my old smoke
detector. I threw it on a shelf, with the battery still in
it. When I put up a new detector. Mine beeped Sunday AM
before church.

Back in the late 70's I worked at an electronic repair depot and me and
one of my coworkers built a little box with a piezoelectric buzzer and
a 555 timer that produced a short "beep" every 5 minutes or so. We hid
it in a crazy girl neighbor's closet in her apartment. It made her a lot
more crazy. We distracted her and retrieved the beeper after several
months and of course every time she asked us for assistance in
tracking down the noise, we pretended not to hear it. It was in her
bedroom closet. :-)

Get a stopwatch or even better, an automatic resetting digital timer. Set
*it* to beep a second or two *before* the problem device beeps. That will
make you aware of when to listen for the problem beep. Stand sideways in
the doorway of each room, one ear facing in, one facing out, just before the
beep occurs.

It'll take a few tries, but eventually you'll be able to locate the rogue
device. Works for me and I have a house littered with smoke alarms and
gadgets that beep. Electronic devices are usually quite regular in their
intervals, so the stopwatch "trick" usually works quite well but it does
take a little patience because it's so hard to localize an intermittent
noise. Works even better with two people and four ears trying to localize
each beep by listening for it just before it happens.

A timer of some sort is essential to track this down. It usually takes me
under 10 minutes to find the culprit. The trick is to be standing in a
position where you can use your "stereo" hearing to locate the noise source.
That's why standing in a doorway sideways is helpful. Makes it much easier
to tell whether the sound is in or outside a room.

Sigh I thought what I was describing was obvious, but it's clear I needed
to be more specific. You have to time YOUR device first, and not assume they
all beep at 2 minutes which is what I think you thought I was saying.
That's why I suggested a stop watch. They are used to time things. I
assumed people would realize they had to measure the time between the two
beeps on their *own* device, and not some guy on the net looking for an
as-yet unknown device. You can never be too specific for Usenet, I guess.

Most of the devices I've had to hunt for were *remarkably* punctual. Can
you name some devices that are random to the point of not being able to take
one "time test" and then use it to predict the next occurrence of a low
battery beep? That's NEVER been the case for me. In fact, most are either
30 secs or 1 minute.

Most of these timers depend on an RC circuit charging/discharging. While
that sort of timing drifts too much over time to make a reliable clock, the
30 to 120 sec intervals involved with smoke alarms and low battery alerts
have been quite repeatable and predictable, at least as far as my locating
them is concerned.

But I imagine there could be some exceptions and if you've run across some,
I'd like to know about them because they would certainly be the odd stand
outs and not what you would expect.

Next time you have a low-battery situation where something's beeping, take
out your stop watch and measure the time it takes between two beeps. I'm
pretty sure you'll find that the cycle is repeatable enough for the unit to
beep within a second or two of its previous chiming (unless the room
temperature is changing at something like 10 degrees a minute). Being able
to anticipate the next beep precisely makes locating the errant unit far
easier than standing around simply waiting for it. Try it. You'll see.
