I don't know how often it was repeated or where the sound was coming from, but 
it could maybe match a red crossbill flight call (someone correct me if I'm 
wrong) since you said monotone.  I suspect I've had them fly over and heard 
them multiple times, but I'm not confident in my ability to ID most birds by 
flight call.  Another idea would be a red squirrel (try Youtube).  They love 
especially red pines I think and make chirpy like cheep sounds and could easily 
go unnoticed.  I'm sure there are many possibilities as a cheep could be just 
about anything, but those are two guesses.
