1. 1

    If a young bird cheeps, it makes a weak, high, thin sound — the little “cheep-cheep” of a chick calling for its mother, or sitting in the nest a bit cold or hungry. Grown birds more often chirp or sing; cheep belongs especially to that baby-bird noise. You can use it as a verb (the chicks cheeped) or as a noun (a cheep). It is a sound-word: English copied the noise itself. Though actually, people also say they did not hear a cheep from someone, meaning the person made no sound at all — not even a tiny one.
