What does a fire alarm sound make compared to any other alarm in the house? Very confused?

I live in New Jersey so as you know, Sandy hit and we just got our electricity back on at like 2 PM today ... it is now 6 23 PM and I was in the shower and a really loud scary noise. Not beeping...it sounded scary and loud was coming from I believe the fire alarm ???
Is that it just like...resetting itself from the electricity being out or should I be alarmed ?
It freaked me out so bad, I jumped out of the shower into the hallway and looked up and it seemed to be coming from the alarm...and then it stopped.

It wasn't the carbon monoxide right ? THAT beeps...


Any input pleasesss ???
EDIT; It kinda sounded like vibration up against something else REALLY LOUD



Answer
Well, smoke detectors beep intermittently. CO detectors are usually similar. Telephones, left off the hook, will emit a beep that does not stop. All of these sounds are REALLY difficult to locate.
Walk around the house, listening and smelling, check your land line phones, smell for smoke.
If you have a moisture detector somewhere that could be it.
If you can't find anything, go to the circuit breaker panel or fuse box and turn off the circuits one by one, checking for the sound to go away.
Once you find the circuit that controls whatever is making the noise, it will make it easier to find in the morning.
