Noise Complaints

What do I do about this beeping that happens every 60 seconds from one of my neighbours(I don't know who, could be any of 3 properties) 24 hours a day. I can't enjoy my backyard because every 60 seconds BEEEEP. ALL DAY. ALL NIGHT. It started a few weeks ago and I thought it was a smoke alarm that was dying.. But we had a power cut the other day and the beeping finally stopped(for a few lovely hours) but came back with the power, so it's not a smoke alarm.

I really don't want to go walking down driveways and talking to a bunch of people who may just full well deny it is their property because they don't give a fuck etc. I don't have any right to really find out where it's coming from as far as I can see and without honesty, I'm screwed. And what the fuck kind of asshole has a device doing that anyway - I just assume the kind of person to be so obnoxious will just tell me to get fucked or lie.

Would the council actually look into this? It seems so minor but its honestly unbearable and while not do bad in winter I will go crazy if this is happening in summer when I want to regularly use my yard.
