Look on top of your cabinets. We keep an explosive gas detector up there in case there is a gas leak. They could have had something similar on top of theirs and forgotten to take it with them when they left.

Many refrigerators have a built in detector if one of the doors is not fully shut, to warn you to open and close again the refrigerator door or drawer. If we don't properly close our refrigerator we get this low intermittent beep. To stop it beeping, we just open and close the doors and drawer solidly and it stops beeping.

Still don't understand how it still worked, but, DH was a witness.
Can't help laughing when I read your post! But I know the pain! If I know the beep is from the panel I will smash it as well.

I think DH cut the output wire and all the lights went off. I just checked the backup battery and pulled the wires that connect to it.... hope this is it.....

It does have a filter! We don't drink from there. I will need to figure out how to disable it.

One other possible place to check; outside. What is on the wall right outside your kitchen? Take a good look for anything that might contain a battery.
There's some outdoor lights, which we couldn't figure out how to use. They have a timed transformer in the garage which has been disconnected from the outlet.

Further out is the gardern of the neighbor, it is very close. Like a hallway distant. Maybe he put something there? I will grab a chair and sit there when the sun comes out.

Refrigerator filter?

Also like the idea of checking around outside. Could actually be from a neighbor's home.

I may have missed it...I saw attic...how about basement? Some forgotten crawl space meter? Any outdoor small tanks?

Any source, say water feature, that you have turned off and now it's letting you know it's off?

How about a toy or item left in a piece of furniture near the kitchen?

Ask a neighbor if their house was built around your time if they have the same.

Make an appointment with your Programming Center. It sounds like your Razzmatazz Gizmodo Kadoodlehopper might be malfunctioning. It can be replaced through your ear canal.

Good luck!

I just take a look at the filter. There's no light indicating anything there, just the dispenser and the filter. Not sure if it would beep.
