Ew. Your hearing is either damaged or it's changing so you can pick up hypersonic sounds. A way to test it is with a dog whistle and a friend who isn't a jerk. I have the same prob- I can 'hear' bats, tvs, malfunctioning fluorescent lights, and the list goes on..... I can miss someone talking to me in a crowded restaurant, but I can hear someone drop a coin from 10s of feet away.

Nope, not smoke detectors. (I need to get one, just in case... I know. Responsible is NOT my middle name). Those things when the battery gets low LET YOU KNOW with a beep that's nothing like what I describe. What I hear is sometimes a low beep, once or twice... sometimes, it sounds like a watch, and it's always never trackable. It's almost like the time I lost my cellphone under the bed- the noise was never easily found, but it did it enough where I COULD eventually track it down. That's a sticking point of this thread- the beeping is so random, so occasional (weeks, months) that it's nearly impossible to find. I'd also like to add, I cleaned up where I am living, and I know there's nothing in here with batteries, no running watches besides mine, one functioning cellphone, and the others I have ended up with are in a pile, so I know where they are.
The noise isn't confined to the house. I have heard it outdoors, too...

I understand how most people want to rule out the obvious, but honestly the beeps/electronic bells I heard sounded nothing like a smoke alarm or other electronic device with a bad battery. Really the beeps sounded more like something you would hear at an amusement park or a video game, and it's very random.
