Incessant Beeping driving me nuts

Confession - bit of a hoarder, I meant to declutter a bit over the break but didn't.

Something electronic started beeping every 30 seconds as if its batteries/charge is about to die,
Spent a couple of hours going through stuff yesterday evening, still not found it - it's a high pitched bleep that's hard to locate the direction of - I felt as if it was moving about yesterday.
I did come across lots of useful things I'd lost.

Any suggestions what it might be, or how long it will go on for?

I had that recently, was trying so many random corners of the room before I finally managed to locate it! Was a luggage tag. It’s so annoying the way some sounds can be hard to pin down

Have you checked your smoke detectors? Could it be coming from next door?

This happened to us years ago - heard a beeping and assume was in our house
But it was our neighbours smoke alarm
as I walked down their path, to ask them about it I heard it coming from their hallway!

Probably smoke detector, and if you can’t find your smoke detector it’s probably time to sort out the hoarding. Honestly….probably time to sort that anyway….

Do you know which room it’s in at least?
