1) Move half the boxes to another room.
2) Listen for a beep and determine which room the beep comes from.
3) Take the boxes in that room and split it in half again.
4) Repeat until one box is left.

"The system worked as intended. It gave me the position of the beep to within about 40cm, then I dug through that specific pile of boxes and found an ancient carbon monoxide detector that desperately wanted its batteries replaced."
