THANK YOU!!! We saw your post about the meat thermometer causing the high-pitched noise, found ours in a drawer and that was indeed the culprit!

Thanks Speedy Jim! Turning on the water faucet worked! Wow! SAVED ME SO MUCH TROUBLE.
We found a baby pacifier that was also a thermometer. Thanks for the tip that it could be a thermometer. Good luck out there.
We had the same issue here. Found the battery powered meat temperature fork batteries were dying and corroded. Thanks for the tip.
We found the meat thermometer fork had corroded and dying batteries. Thanks.
Wow, another guy posted the same thing just a couple of minutes ago. I'm going to replace all the batteries in my meat thermometers this week.
Thanks for the tip.
Your message just saved me. I had the same issue, could not locate it and it turned out to be a timer. Oh man, thank you!!
It is currently February 2023 (HELLO FROM THE FUTURE!) - I took the battery out of a Thermpro Meat Thermometer on your suggestion, and that maybe did the trick!
I also found a small cat toy that was emanating noise, and maybe that was it as well?
Your single thread of advice "It was my meat thermometer" maybe just saved me a weekend of madness
Hello from 2023!
I had a similar issue randomly start last night, I remember my cat bringing their little noise making toy in to the living room, I picked it up and it was definitely making some sort of noise - tossed that away and *fingers crossed* that was it!

What did that cat think?
I'll swap mine out for fresh and put the ones now in use on my charger ... Oh , wait ! I don't have any meat thermometers with batteries . <E Littell voice> Never mind . <\E Littell voice>
A *battery-powered* meat themometer! You're lucky it didn't catch fire. What happened to the ones that needed no battery?
I'm glad you can turn the electricity back on.
