No idea on ready-made products, but if you are interested in making
your own (might be a fun experiment), here are some resources you
could consider:

- Electronic Chirping Canary Circuit 
  <http://skema-elektronik.blogspot.com/2011/06/electronic-chirping-canary-circuit.html>.

- Automated alarm circuits
  <http://pecworld.zxq.net/Assets/SOURCE/PDF_fun_circuit/All_pdf_files_manual/34_Feb09.pdf>
  (PDF document).

- Canary chirp generator
  <http://circuit.presstoday.net/2011/07/schematic-canary-chirp-generator.html>.

I know the “alarm armed” chirp sound that many car alarms use.  It
may be a “linear chirp” or “exponential chirp”, a signal of
rising frequency, which the Wikipedia page Chirp describes.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp>

I hope this is helpful.

Regards,
Colin
