I just went through this last month. I changed the battery in every detector in the house and the chirping was still there. So I decided that the detectors were too old and started looking into buying replacements for them. It only took another two hours of chirping for me to realize that it was the carbon monoxide detector that needed new batteries. I totally forgot that it existed.
YUP it was the Carbon monoxide detector ! Thanks

This happened to us, it took forever to figure out what was chirping.

I just changed the batter in the smoke detector.
An hour after I changed it, it let out three piercing BEEP BEEP BEEPS.
Then I stared at it with annoyance and skepticism for about 10 minutes, but it seems to have quieted.
Surely there's a better way. It doesn't feel like the technology of smoke detectors have evolved much in the past 30 years.

DH , I and our two kids position ourselves under a detector until the culprit goes off. Most efficient way to find it.

Maybe Baker Mayfield can find it for you?

This happened to us one year. It was in the utility room in the basement, and it took forever to figure out where the chirp was coming from.

Sigh.
If I can't locate it, I stand be each one and take it out nice I'm sure it's not the one. Of course, once it was the carbon monoxide sensor behind some furniture lol.
On a related note, why is it always at 3 in the morning?
Once, not "nice"

Mine didn't bother with chirping -- it did full on beeping at 3AM to let me know the battery was going. I thought I had disabled it -- until it did it again the next night.
