House Sparrows have been known to nest during the winter as well.

Sparrows nest/roost between the felt and tiles so you hear them but not see them. I have at least 6 nest sites like this, house sparrows do well here.

The other thought is the old favourite, wildlife rescure get called out to householders that can "hear" birds trapped in the loft ....... smoke detector batteries dying sends the alarm in to "tweet" mode

doubt it very much they are chicks, more than likely a male house sparrow, chirping away, what you need to do is if you have got the time ,try observing from a window , near where you think they are , and IF and that is a big IF there is a nest with chicks ,you will see the parents coming and going at regular intervals, then you should find out for certain, it is possible that its a battery in an alarm as posted, look forward to your conclusion. ive been wrong before and will be again. rossy.

OK defo not alarm and fact its birds not mice,,,,cherping crys sound like young birds about to be feed,,what throws me a it is its mostly night time 11pm ish I think house sparrows I'm goi ng try get a recording noise tonight see if that helps identify them...
