I agree that it wasn't an emergency and that it most likely is dying batteries, but I would like to mention another possible cause for the Beep Beep - a dying smoke detector. Not a common occurrence but it does happen. I had one start beeping. Tenant and I both changed batteries to no avail. I went out and got fresher batteries and still it beeped. Bought a new smoke detector and everything works now.

I never had one die before but apparently it happens.

Very common, all smoke detectors have a life span. I believe the recommendation is to replace them every 10 years.
