Man, I feel like an idjit. Spent the last 10 minutes frantically searching our home for whatever gadget might be emitting a regularly spaced emergency beep (yes, we have a few of those). At first I thought it was the fridge left open. Then I thought it sounded like same frequency the smoke alarm/CO2 detector makes when its batteries are low (we have more than a few those those, too). Nope. It was just a cricket.
