Are you sure the sound is continuous - sometimes what people convey in their description isn't what they intend to. (eg "Makes a high pitched noise all the time" may mean eg "... in a burst every 5 minutes without fail." If it's an occasional chirp, try looking for a smoke alarm with a low battery. It really does happen that people fail to realise what makes this noise.
