The great things about the chirps is that you can space them randomly quite far apart from each other so that he can never get quite enough data to locate them.
This is exactly why it's so nefarious. Without a constant sound he won't be able to locate where it's coming from, and so you can keep the chirps going for days or weeks on end while the guy tears his house apart looking for a smoke alarm that doesn't exist
