My downstairs neighbors can hear it too; we were just commiserating.
Their theory: it might be a smoke alarm saying it needs new batteries. I'm not so sure about that, since I've heard it a number of times. And the batteries must be Energizers; I can just picture that annoying bunny... Anyway, when the neighbors get home (tomorrow, I assume; I hope they're not out of town for the week!), I'm going to very politely yet very firmly tell them that if they can't disable the noise of whatever-it-is, they can't use it again. This is not the first time I've heard it overnight; it's just the first time it's been all weekend.
I suppose we could call a locksmith, but I really don't want to deal with the neighbors if we did; it would mean a new lock, since it's a deadbolt (or at least, that's what happened when I was locked out of mine, and I think they have the same kind of lock).
