Chirping noise from engine compartment

Ok.... this is a new one. 2016 IS350F, 30K miles. Came in last night about 11. Car has been off about 10 hours....I walk out into the garage and hear the EXACT same chirp as the smoke detector makes(in fact,I walked inside to see if it was my kitchen smoke detector). It chirps in exactly 48 second intervals...been chirping for at least 5 hours straight....coming from somewhere in the engine bay.....Again,the car is OFF. Any guesses?

Disregard. Mystery solved. And yes,I’m way too embarrassed to divulge the source of the beep...... Lets just leave it as “sound reverberates”....��

It was me, I put the smoke detector in your car!

LOL... reminds me of when my Dad came into my room at 3 am mad as hell to tell me to unplug my speakers because they were chirping. I unplugged them, and he was still convinced it was the speakers until I showed him where the sounds was coming from. He was too embarrassed to apologize
