A friend of mine has a cheapo phone that chirps every night at
11:55pm.  A call to New York Telephone about this got a response
claiming that NYT did no regular testing that would cause this.
A telephone on the same line with a mechanical ringer does not
make any noise.

1) What is causing this noise?
2) Is their an easy way to stop it?
