My brother and his wife woke up to a low beeping noise in their living space in the basement. Sister-in-law thinks it’s the carbon monoxide detector but we checked all the fire alarms and none of them are beeping. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Update: After looking around more using a literal stethoscope my family and I found where the beeping is coming from. And it’s actually CO detector that had been walked over by the people her refurbished our basement. Now just lies who would be the best to call to get the detector removed.

"A "double beep" on a carbon monoxide detector usually indicates that the detector is nearing the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced, as most manufacturers use a repeating double beep pattern to signal the "end-of-life" status of the alarm; regardless of battery condition"

Put a long funnel in your ear, and hone in on it.

Turn off all the lights, and look for a flash when it beeps

Are there any travel alarms /clocks in the closet, maybe in a suitcase?

Glad you found it. There was a fire alarm going off for days in my neighborhood. People were searching all around, knocking on doors, fire dept came and went house to house, etc. After 4-5 days straight, someone climbed in a backyard and found a fire alarm buried in a blackberry bush. Someone had thrown it out the window of either this house or one of the neighboring ones into the yard.
