My new office is narrow, close to an often-beeping ATM
If you're up for a little bit of controlled mischief for your own benefit, it might be worth experimenting with various ways to block the beeping. It's a pretty piercing high frequency noise, so a small amount of blocking might reduce its annoyance quite a bit, and won't be that difficult (low frequency sounds are much harder to block). Maybe a piece of self-adhesive rubberized flashing--I have some in our research hut, if you'd care for some. Of course, that assumes there's a visible speaker opening.
