Can anyone tell me what this might be? It is in the ceiling next to attic entrance door on second floor. ImageUploadedByHome Repair1408147028.059743.jpg

Is there a vent/ductwork above it in the attic... or wires?
 
Will check for duct work and wires. Thanks Neal.

Thanks,..My guess...it's a siren for an alarm system....
 
On a less corny note, it may be a small vent to equalize pressure within the house (if that is a problem in your climate?) Since it is right next to the attic hatch, can you post a pic from the other side of this gizmo? You can also do a quick visual check to see if light can be seen thru it. That will tell you if it is a sealed unit or not.
 
Yes plan on getting all that info this afternoon.
