A short, high-pitched sound that baby birds or small animals make.
From Middle English, possibly imitative in origin—the word mimics the actual sound small birds make. It's related to words like 'chirp' and 'peep' that represent bird sounds.
Cheep is one of those rare words where the sound of the word actually matches what it describes—say 'cheep' out loud and you're basically imitating a baby chick!
