Great analysis. We had the same thing happen with a cheap Brookstone meat thermometer - seemed like a ventriloquist where the sound appear to be coming from across the kitchen. Thanks!! I thought I was going mad!
You found a Brookstone product that's cheap? Say how ;-)
Back in the day when I used to go to the mall and would walk past the store and look through their window, I used to wonder who would pay those absurd prices for such useless crap...
Tourists, doubt.

Someone gave me a gift from Brookstone, which I returned for store credit. It's now 3 or 4 years later and I still can't find anything in there to spend it on.
Back in the day when I flew regularly on business, I recall a 64 page glossy "Sky Shopper" catalog of similarly over-priced useless crap in every seat back pouch.
"Feel free to take me with you when you deplane" was blazoned on the cover though I never anyone take them up on it.
My mystery sound was a toy mouse who’s battery was going dead. Drove us nuts til we figured it out!
Do the sounds in my head bother you?!
Only when they tell you to kill someone.
Are they telling you to stay home and clean the guns ?
Brad I see this was an old Post, but please tell me you figured this out?? I started hearing the same damn noise two days ago, it is loud and constant, it's the same ringing that some people hear in their ears, but this is only in my bedroom, same story as yours,,I began searching for answers and I've noticed too many people are having the same problem. I don't know about anyone else but I wonder if this could be some government or alien shit. No I am not crazy but never in my life have I ever heard of this I need help
OMG! I replied earlier before I read this lol,,glad u found yours but I don't have battery powered anything I can find in my bedroom lol,,nothing, it seems to be coming from ceiling and walls I can't trace it so I automatically think aliens. Well your story sounded just like mine so I will go another round hunting this, it is driving me mad! I mean this is over blaring my TV lol. Well wish me luck, AND THANKS,,it gives me a little hope
Well Randy, I have the same problem in my bedroom,,NO BATTERY DEVICES that I have found, but I am fixing to go another round, hell I thought government or alien lol,, because alot of people had just started experiencing this too. But the ghost thing is not far fetched here,, although I've never experienced paranormal high pitched ringing in the past
Haha,,,I replied to Brad too about the noise being in my damn bedroom!!! No I don't have battery operated devices lol,,but my problem sounds like it's coming from every direction walls n ceiling. It sounds exactly like high pitched ringing in the ears except constant and louder,,,it's over my TV, really strange. I'm not crazy but I was thinking it could be government or aliens lol, only because I went searching for answers and noticed many others all a sudden having same problem
I just can't figure this out at my house, constant and loud, but can only be heard in my bedroom. No battery devices, I unplugged everything still hear it, it is constant and louder than my TV, it's driving me insane! We don't have gas anything, not the plumbing, and I can't trace which direction,,I think it's one place but I get there and hear it in walls n ceiling, no light bulbs that would do it either. I have a feeling that I will be the only one who won't find the answer,,it is going on the third day now, we will see. Wish me luck, glad Brad found answers though
OMG I feel like a complete dumb ass right now! I forgot about a permanent hair removal system I had, it was the damn nine volt battery!!! Ah my nerves are feeling better already, except I'm completely humiliated!! I mean ACCUSING THE GOVERNMENT! IM A DUMB ASS BLONDE I OWN IT
Hey I solved mine also just now, after humiliating myself, accusing aliens. I remembered I did have a permanent hair removal system in my skin care case, it was a nine volt battery! God I'm so glad I came across your post or I would not have thought it could be a battery. Ok well,,WOW! THANKS
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU... We've called the fire dept, police dept, Alarm Company, everything!!!@ Then I found your post, ran to the kitchen. It was our ,eat thermometer. Yeah!!! Steve 2/5/2020
Brad. Thank you for posting as my mystery high pitched sound was my Brookstone battery-operated meat thermometer!! I was thinking it was the ballast in my overhead fluorescent light fixture. Due to reading your comment I solved my annoying problem that has gone on for 3 days. What a surprise. Thank you! Lisa
Oh my God, I'm so thankful for this thread!!! I've had the same issue for the last few days. I was going crazy! Checked all the appliances, water etc. Saw this, opened the drawer with the meat thermometer and BINGO! I can't believe it was someone so obscure! Peace at last! Thank you for following up and posting what it was or I would have never found it!
Dude, idk if you will see this but, 16 years later I did the same things you did and right as I am about to shut of my gas, I see that it was an electric meat thermometer that was your problem. Sure as hell, it was my electric meat thermometer. Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was hearing a persistent high-pitched ringing in my kitchen for hours and I couldn't find the source. Turns out, my cat had dropped his battery-operated toy mouse in his water bowl and the battery was dying.
